3 Things You Need to Consider Before You Renovate

If you are thinking about a renovation because you need a change, then keep reading! Here are 3 things you need to consider before you renovate.


  1. BUDGET: As with all big purchases, you really need to have a budget in mind before you start your renovation project. With all the choices and different price ranges, its best to have an idea of what you are comfortable spending before your start.You may be tempted to jump in with both feet and just try and get your renovation done, but to be honest its best to have a game plan because renovations can be very expensive, and a lack of planning on your part can leave your wallet empty and your home a mess.
  2. TIME LINE: We all want everything done NOW or YESTERDAY and in today's world, we are all busy, and getting things done NOW isn't realistic. Planning ahead is your best bet. When you are setting up your renovation, lining up contractors, painters etc, make sure that everybody is on the same page. Make sure things are ordered on time, and that there is enough time for all the lead hands to get their jobs done, and done right. You don't want your workers, working on top of each other.
  3. QUOTES: Shop around for the best prices. Its okay to want quality work for the best price. When you are spending money on a renovation, you want to make sure that you aren't getting "ripped off". Get quotes from reputable places and then make a decision. Choose people that you feel comfortable with, you will be seeing them a lot in your home during the renovation process. 
One more suggestion would be to leave your home during the renovation process if you can. Have someone you trust look over or run the job for you. It'll keep your mind at ease, and you out of the mess!
