How To

How can I plan a complete house remodel?

Planning a home remodel takes planning and research. Before you start your project, here are some things to keep in mind. The first thing to do is decide what kind of home renovation you want. There are many options available, including kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. Once you've chosen the category you want, you need to decide how much money to put towards your project. If you are new to working in homes, budget at least $5,000 for each room. You might be able get away with less if you have previous experience.

Once you've determined the amount of money you can spend, you need to decide how large a job you want. If your budget only allows for a small renovation of your kitchen, you will be unable to paint the walls, replace the flooring or install countertops. On the other side, if your budget allows for a full renovation of your kitchen, you'll be able do just about any task.

Next, look for a contractor with experience in the type or project you are looking to tackle. This will ensure you get quality results and save you a lot of hassle later. Once you have found a reliable contractor, it is time to start gathering supplies and materials. Depending on the project's size, you may have to buy all of the materials from scratch. You shouldn't have any trouble finding the right item in pre-made stores.

Now it's time for you to start planning. You will first need to sketch out an outline of the areas you plan to place appliances and furniture. Then you will design the layout. Be sure to leave enough room for electric outlets and plumbing. It is a good idea to place the most important areas nearest the front door. This will make it easier for visitors to access them. Finally, you'll finish your design by deciding on colors and finishes. Avoid spending too much on your design by sticking to simple, neutral colors and designs.

Once you have completed your plan, it is time to begin building. Before you start building, check your local codes. Some cities require permits. Others allow homeowners to build without permits. Before you can begin construction, remove any walls and floors. Next, you'll lay down plywood sheets to protect your new flooring surfaces. Then, you'll nail or screw together pieces of wood to form the frame for your cabinets. Lastly, you'll attach doors and windows to the frame.

When you're done, you'll still have a few finishing touches to do. For example, you'll probably want to cover exposed pipes and wires. To do this, you'll use plastic sheeting and tape. You will also need to hang photos and mirrors. Be sure to tidy up your work space at all costs.

You'll have a functional home that looks amazing and is cost-effective if you follow these steps. You now have the knowledge to plan a complete house remodel.
