You can trust our experience contractors to communicate with you every step of the way, but just to be sure that you are prepared, we have come up with 3 steps we think you should take while preparing for your home remodel!
1. Create A Detailed Project Plan
The first step we recommend starting with before starting your home remodeling project, is to sit down with your Capital City contractor in Springfield, IL and discuss all of the wants, needs, and inspirations that you wish to include in the renovation process. While a phone conversation or in person meeting is a great way to start your planning process, our experts will design a custom blueprint or sketch of what your finished project is going to look like so that you can truly visualize the end result! We also recommend writing down a list of must haves that you cannot live without so that our staff can plan for it in your budget.
2. Set Your Max Budget
Speaking of budget, money is (obviously) one of the most important pieces of the puzzle when it comes to remodeling your home. While many home and business owners in Springfield, IL would be willing to spend any amount to have the property of their dreams, often times materials, labor, decorations, and custom designs turn out to be much more expensive than you might have originally thought. When planning your budget, don’t forget to include miscellaneous costs such as unexpected issues or repairs that you may not be planning for, and always budget extra for your main costs like materials. If you notice that what you are wanting in your renovation and what you are willing to spend does not match up, speak with your contractor to eliminate project elements that are a lower priority.
3. Build A Timeline
This may seem like an obvious step, but it is one that homeowners and businesses seem to take advantage of more often than you might think. After your design and budget are set in place, it’s time to piece together your timeline. A majority of kitchen, bathroom, roofing, or entire home remodeling projects take at least 2-3 weeks to complete depending on the designs and wait on materials. If you are looking for a fast remodel, maybe only think about tackling one room of the home instead of all of it at once. If you are not strict on your timeline, explain to your contractor the concerns you have about a longer renovation process.
