Plan Ahead
Before you decide how extensively to renovate, you need to know what your end goal is for your home. Are you renovating to raise the resale value of your home, or will you be staying put for years to come? Having a specific plan in place for your future will help you decide how deep to go with your project.
Things to discuss.....
Your Renovation Goals
Budget
Your Lifestyle
Design
Your Time-Frame
Let's not forget.....
Even in a cosmetic remodel, there can be an opportunity to enhance the function or money-saving capability of your home. When ripping out an entire room, for instance, this may be the perfect time to add insulation to the walls, upgrade your electrical panel or add additional light or electrical fixtures. The key is to think ahead to how you will use the room, and take advantage of cosmetic updates to enhance the structure of your home.
