Renovation Guide


Renovating a room can change the whole feel of your home or office, but there are a few things to keep in mind before you start your renovation process.

Planning is key-He who fails to plan, plans to fail. Planning helps keep everything straight when the renovations start, which in the end will save you time and money. Take the time to plan out how the room will look when it is done, and what changes you want to make to get there. The amount of changes will obviously affect your budget.  After thinking about the design then it's time to pick a contractor or decide if this is a do it yourself kind of project. We suggest Carpet To Go for all your flooring, cabinetry, and countertop needs for both products and installation.

Next thing to do is outline the budget. This is important because you will determine where all your money will go. Hopefully you have already decided if you are renovating just one room or if you are doing the whole house. Kitchens and bathrooms are popular rooms to remodel and have been shown to recoup their money during a resale.

When renovating and choosing your design it is important to take in to consideration trends and fads. You want a room that will stand up to time, and not have to be redone 10 years down the line. Having a final overall design will help the renovation process go smoothly and look better in the end.

Don't take renovations lightly, and make sure you keep up to code and stay safe. If you are supposed to take safety measures don't skimp on it, because if you or your contractor gets hurt it's going to delay the renovation.

Renovation can get to be time consuming, so make sure you and the people you live with have the time and resources to invest in the project. Again plans can help keep both you and your contractor on target.
