Beginning a remodeling project is a huge undertaking. It can be intimidating to see all the components of your project and you might not know where to start. Whether you’re looking to install a new deck, replace your windows, or even remodel your entire kitchen, there are a few necessary steps you’ll need to take to get started.
Research
You’ll need to decide what you want out of the project. Many homeowners find luck researching home renovation trends and invest in projects that can increase a home’s value. Research will help you solidify expectations, and can give you a better idea of what will work best in your home. Pinterest boards, home remodeling websites, and our past projects are all great resources to help you get started.
Approach Methodically
When planning your home remodel, you’ll need to be methodical in gauging the extent of the work and determine an appropriate budget that will help you accomplish your goals. Depending on the type of renovation you pursue, you may have to forego using a certain part of your house for an extended period of time. For instance, if you’re remodeling your kitchen, you’ll need determine a solution for food preparation and storage while your home undergoes construction. Setting up temporary spaces in underutilized areas of your home can help you survive your remodel. Your garage, basement, or spare bedroom can serve as a temporary kitchen or a storage space during this time.
