Planning a renovation for your home is a huge job, so it helps to follow these steps making the plan.
- Start with a wishlist. Use the list to brainstorm. You can cut it back once you have a budget and write all of your ideas down.
- Work out your bottom line budget. This is the absolute most you will spend on this remodel.
- Hire an owner’s representative to oversee the job.
- Hire a professional to draw the project to scale.
- Get the required permits. Every locality has different requirements.
- Review your insurance. Ensure that you are covered during and after construction.
- Order and inspect your materials.
- Fix any plumbing, electrical or HVAC behind the cosmetic remodel. Start with the basics.
- Do the surface work–paint, install flooring and molding.
- Add in cabinetry and appliances.
- Add the finishing touches–backsplashes, tile, accessories.
- Get your newly updated home appraised. Upgrades add value to your home. If you haven’t adjusted insurance, do it now.
