Home renovations can be an appealing alternative to home additions if you don’t want to spend too much money or let your home become more expensive than the average homes in your area. However, like home additions, renovating or remodeling a space in your home can be time consuming and potentially costly.
Do you find yourself wishing your home was structured in a different manner or you had an amenity that you currently don’t possess? Oftentimes, home renovations can create the structure or function you are looking for. At HomCo Lumber and Hardware we have tools and expertise for any renovation. Our talented showroom associates can assist you with your kitchen, bathroom & more. Head on over and let us help you make your home renovation a reality!
Let’s Talk Home Renovation
Before you begin your home-renovation journey, there are a few things you should consider. First is the cost. Currently home renovations have become more expensive due to the lumber shortages, paint shortages, and extensive shipping times on items. We suggest you budget in these items and an extended time frame for your renovation before making a final decision whether it is the right choice for your home.
Another thing to consider is whether there is an alternative solution to a full renovation. If your concern is about a lack of space, for example, you can instead utilize creative storage solutions. You might be surprised how getting a little creative can save you a lot of headache. Be sure to chat with one of our HomCo associates to help you determine the best plan of action for you.
Getting Started On Your Home Renovation
After deciding that you want a renovation, what next? Let’s consider a few questions. How does your home flow? What pieces are missing?
For example, if you want to install a laundry room, consider where it should go and how it would function best in the home. Most additional rooms should go somewhere out of the way, but in an accessible place.
How about refitting a room like the kitchen? Do you want an island, and if so, where would it go? Think about refitting the house for your needs, not the other way around. These are large investments for your home and it is worth doing a lot of prep work before getting started to make sure it fits into the flow of your home instead of creating an obstacle.
What To Consider When Doing Renovations & Remodels.
As a quick tip, be sure to address structural issues before you start the renovation or remodeling process. This can save you a lot of time and money overall.
Next let’s talk about plumbing. As a general rule it is a lot cheaper to keep your plumbing where it is. This usually means keeping sinks and toilets in place and working around them. It is always possible to move plumbing if needed, but typically your budget is better spent in other areas of the renovation.
Another major aspect of a home renovation is electrical work. Be sure to get your wires looked at by a professional since issues with them can be dangerous and even create fires. It will add a bit more cost, but getting electrical work done is important to the life and value of your home. Make sure to discuss the electrical system with a licensed electrician so they can figure out what needs to be done.
After you’ve considered all of these things, you can move on to either doing the project yourself, getting a general contractor for help, or subcontracting the jobs that you’re not too sure about. Whatever you do, Homco Lumber and Hardware has the tools you need to get the job done.
More Helpful Renovations Tips
- Store your materials in a safe location.
- Make sure your paint sheen is the same.
- Keep your tools ready and proper.
- Be sure to not buy cheap materials. When it comes to home renovation, you want your materials to last and add to the value of your home, not continue to break down for years to come. Skimping on quality will add up in the long run, so it is good to get quality items, even if they are more expensive.
- If you are doing some of the work yourself, always keep in mind the age-old adage “measure twice, cut once”. In this case, measuring more than twice won’t hurt at all. Always be sure you are prepared with your materials and dimensions.
