Make a Home Renovation Timeline

Begin planning by selecting a desired start date. You and your contractor will need to calculate the length of time needed for each portion of the project. Determine which part of the remodel you need to complete first and which parts of the project you can complete concurrently. Make sure your renovation timeline allows time for shipping and delivery of materials as well as time for prepping the project area. The renovation completion date should be set with a few extra days in mind to address unexpected issues.

Remember the Big Picture

When taking on remodeling projects, it’s important to remember the big picture. Long-term-maintenance, energy-loss, and repair expenses can add up quickly. Make sure you include them in your calculations when comparing prices. Remember to consider every element in your remodeling planning including your wall color. Also, cabinet colors, flooring, and hardware, and how it all ties together.

Be a Good Boss

The most important thing you can do during a remodeling project, other than write checks, is to treat your remodeler well. “The perfect clients are easy to get along with. They are honest, and have an appreciation for what we do,” says Anthony Wilder, founder of Anthony Wilder Design/Build in Cabin John, Maryland. Make sure you’re available to supervise the remodeling project. Nothing beats seeing and touching your ongoing renovation in real life or speaking to your contractor in person.
