You know it’s time to renovate your home. Maybe you’re trying to get a higher price for a sale, or perhaps it’s just time for some necessary work. Either way, it can be tough to know where to start.
Come up with a game plan
Your first step, before you renovate anything, should be to thoroughly assess your home to figure out what exactly needs to be done and how much it will cost. Houzz suggests starting in the hall, which typically needs more work than you might think, and then working logically from room to room. Use a notebook or make a list on your phone to record which items need to be purchased, what work you need done and all relevant dimensions.
Start with the essentials
If your air conditioning system is outdated and causing mold issues, or if you’ve got plumbing issues like leaky fixtures, damaged flooring or improper ventilation, start with those first.
Start small
You might feel like a total overhaul is what you need, but once you’ve taken care of the essentials, like heating and cooling systems or plumbing, a new coat of paint or a re-landscaped yard can work wonders in making your home feel fresh and new.
