Remodeling a Home
Plan Your Project
So, your home could use a bit of updating? Whether your home needs upgraded or you want to modernize the look and feel, planning out your project ahead of time is essential for success. You’ll want to work out the details of your plans with an experienced contractor to determine the size and scope of the project and how it fits into your budget. Always plan for materials, labor and unexpected costs because they always come up.
Do Your Research
Before embarking on the remodeling journey, do some research to determine what makes sense for your home’s value. You want to make sure that the investment you are making in improving your home can be recouped when you go to sell. Some remodeling projects have better returns on investment than others. For instance, bathroom and kitchen remodels have a much higher return on investment than an addition or new inground pool.
Funding Your Project
It’s no secret that home renovations can be quite costly. Fortunately, there are a few things to keep in mind that can help you save some cash. Always make sure to get multiple quotes so you can compare prices, focus on efficiency, not size when remodeling rooms, and avoid moving fixtures and utilities if possible. Keep in mind potential long-term savings when it comes to maintenance and repairs down the line. There are also options available including home equity loans or home equity lines of credit (HELOC) that can help fund your renovation.
