Tips for a Smooth Renovation

First Step

Agreeing to a home renovation project is just the beginning of the journey that could take months or a few years to complete. It can cause a lot of inconvenience and stress to you and your family. Following the below mentioned tips and preparation can greatly minimize the stress.

Talking to the Contractor

Get into a frank and direct conversation with your contractor and get an accurate estimate of both time and budget. It’s a smart move to plan for about 10-15% extra of given estimate on both accounts.

Neatly Pack Away the Junk

All items stored during renovation should be neatly and carefully packed in labeled boxes to help you locate and find items easily. Additionally, essential items should be placed on top. A little preparation will land you with a much smoother and convenient house.

Where Are We?

The first decision is whether you would reside in the same house during renovation or temporarily shift out. If renovation is only in one room like the bathroom or kitchen, it’s possible to remain during the project. But if the entire house needs a renovation, it could stretch to a few months and its best to shift to any temporary abode like a rented apartment or a hotel.
