6 Home Renovation Tips To Transform Every Home

Know Your End Goal

Knowing your end goal is the first step in home renovation. This is because your end goal will help determine  the type of renovation to carry out. Are you renovating your house to make it better for sale/rent or to accommodate your family? After sorting this out, You then move on to…

Design and Planning

After stating and picturing your end goal, now is time for design and planning. This is the phase where you do your sketches. You design how the building will be after the renovation, the beauty of the design phase is that you get to make adjustment on paper before carrying out the renovation physically. During your design and planning, Ensure you have enough budget to cover your total cost.

• Draw up a simple “yes/no” list of do-it-yourself projects and projects you want professionals to do.
• Look for contractors and subcontractors for those jobs you do not want to do yourself.

Create and Stick To a Budget

Since the goal is to renovate your house economically it is important for you to decide the total expenditure requirements/limit.  it’s a good idea to know how much of your total income or savings is allotted for the purchase of materials needed. This is why it is essential to get a true understanding of pricing, both with materials and labor, so you can gauge expectations accordingly.

Do It Yourself

When it comes to renovating your home economically, there is no better way to cut down expenses and save money than doing the job yourself or doing majority of the job yourself.

If you’re thinking, “I’m not handy, so this tip’s not for me,” well, There is definitely something you can. You may not be able to put up drywall, or even feel comfortable laying tile, but there are some things you can do to prep your space before a crew comes, because remember you’re paying the crew for their services, regardless of how skilled or unskilled the task. And their services don’t usually come cheap. Getting some things done yourself before the crew arrive will definitely save you some bucks.

If you can demo the space, clean up, prepare surfaces (like scraping off mastic on the floor and skim-coating walls), and paint, then you’re one step ahead.

If you don’t have the tools required, renting them from a local hardware store will still save you quite a bit of money, versus hiring someone to do the work for you.

Buy Building Supplies at Auction

Another tip for renovating home economically is buying building supplies at auction or fairly used. This tip saved my uncle a lot of money when he was building his house. He looked for an area where government demolished their home and bought most of the materials he used to build his house. You can apply a strategy like this as well to cut down your expenses.

Be Smart About Hiring Help

In a case where you need services of a professional, make sure you do a bit of research by contacting different professionals and comparing their prices before hiring one to help you with your project.
