4 Essential Things You Should Know Before Your Home Renovation

Magda and Tom started on their renovation project after receiving their detailed design plans from us. We helped them prepare and manage their expectations of living in their home during the extensive renovation. 

Though we cannot predict every possible issue that could come up, we devised a plan for the big ones, and it’s been an enormous help. So watch for future blogs on this ongoing renovation. We are excited for them and glad to be of service during the process.

Living through a renovation can feel overwhelming, so today, we’re helping you prepare for what it’s like to live in your home during a renovation…                                                           

Prioritize the Design Plan First

So you’ve decided to renovate your house, but you don’t know where to start, right? Well, you’re certainly not alone! Consulting with a professional designer is essential and should be the first step in developing a personalized plan to create designs tailored to your style, budget, and needs.

Hire a Professional to Save Time and Money

Without proper planning and preparation, the home renovation process can unexpectedly be full of surprises and disappointments. Enlisting a designer can make all the difference in loving the end result while also avoiding costly DIY blunders. In addition, there can be unforeseen expenses and issues that often make the process complex. 

Hiring a professional is key to saving time, money and avoiding unnecessary headaches. For example, we have helped homeowners who have tackled their projects DIY and ran into overages and change orders because they didn’t know every detail they would need for the contractor in advance.

Your Home Will Look Worse Before It Looks Better

The excitement of transforming your space should be tempered with the messy reality that demolition, construction, and cleanup are all a part of the process. Although not necessary, you may want to consider planning more extensive renovations while you're out of town or can stay elsewhere for a couple of weeks. 

Kitchen and bath renovations often mean you'll be without a place to cook or shower for a while, as most projects kick up dust and debris, which will temporarily be everywhere.

It’s Completly Worth It!

Partnering with a professional designer is essential in laying out your budget, securing permits, and bringing your vision to life! Regardless of the size and the scope of the renovation, and despite the accompanying mess, the end result is always worth the hassle on reveal day! You’ll be able to enjoy fabulous custom kitchen features and expanded storage.
