Your Home Remodeling Checklist [infographic]

Getting ready for a home remodeling project is an exciting time, full of anticipation and grand dreams of what your remodeled space will look like. However, it’s important not to get swept away – home remodeling also requires a great deal of planning and precision, in addition to ample creative vision.

At Precision Decorating, we’re here to be your remodeling gurus, helping you through every facet of the process to ensure the end result is everything you dreamed of. Check out this handy checklist of considerations we recommend going over to ensure you’ve laid the foundation for a successful project.

1. Budget – Figuring out your budget early on in the process (and sticking to it) will help ensure you can properly allocate funds and get everything you want. A good budget also helps lower the chance of impulse buys.
2. Scope – Clearly define what areas of your home you want to remodel and what specific changes you want to make. This sets you up for success when communicating with your remodeling team and helps avoid unnecessary revisions.
3. Design & Layout – Home remodeling is the ideal opportunity to change up the layout so it suits your needs and preferences. Consider functionality, aesthetics, and flow in equal measure to create a cohesive, well-thought-out design.
4. Materials & Finishes – Aim to select high-quality materials that strike a balance between your style, budget, and lifestyle. Consider the durability, maintenance requirements, and resale value, especially when choosing materials for flooring, countertops, cabinetry, and fixtures.
5. Timeline – If you’re planning extensive remodels, it’s a good idea to section things out so you can focus on one area at a time. You can also talk with your remodeling team about factors like contractor schedules, labor times, and availability of materials to help round out your projected timeline.
6. Communication – Knowing how you’re going to communicate with your home remodeling team will save everyone stress and headaches. If there’s more than one homeowner, it’s helpful to choose a designated point of contact and let your team know the best way to get in touch with you when they need you to streamline the process and avoid delays.
