Remodeling your home can be a challenging and overwhelming task. However, here are some tips that will make your remodeling project move along smoothly:
- Plan ahead. You should make every single decision before getting to work. Making product selections early can help prevent delays later, and will keep you on budget. Planning ahead will also prevent issues where other specialists have to be rescheduled. Sometimes delays do happen, but choosing the right items, such as paint or fixtures, can minimize the chance of a delay happening. It can be the difference from turning what would normally be a two-week project into a five-week one.
- Don’t buy your own materials. Sometimes buying our own materials may seem like a good idea, since it could save you some money. However, builders may be able to get a better deal than you in the first place, so with that markup, you could still be losing out on money in the end.
- Find good help. Hire remodelers who have more than three years of experience, a good standing with the Better Business Bureau, and positive customer references. Most importantly, make sure the remodeler is someone you can trust.
- Understand what you are getting into. While the anticipation for the finished product may be exciting, the journey there may be frustrating. If at all possible, try not to live in the home during remodeling, but it is understandable if that is not possible. Create a temporary camp by setting up a comfortable place to retreat to if you can’t handle coming back to a messy construction site.
- Try not to be a distraction. The people working on your home may love pets and children, but it could be unsafe for them to be around the construction. For safety’s sake, as well as the speed of the work being performed, try to avoid distracting the crew from the task at hand.
