Plan Your Remodel - Don't Wish for It!

"It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan," - Eleanor Roosevelt

PLAN your remodel carefully! Don't: start down the wrong path, take a foolish shortcut, or get distracted along the way.

Get the most from your resource! Consider all your options and make all decisions before you sign your contract. If you add work after it's started, you'll waste money and slow down your project. Write down and organize your thoughts and discuss them with your family. Flush out your family's needs and the obstacles early on.

It takes time and energy to plan your remodel, but it may be the most important thing you do!

Planning is not difficult. And it can be fun! By doing the leg work, before you get a remodeling professional involved, you get everyone's needs and priorities "on paper" so you don't forget something.

Don't rush it. Discuss it. Plan your remodel carefully. Make good choices andsleep on them before you take action.

Your Plan is a five-step process to help you get comparable bids from qualified contractors.

                     

As your first step, use Your Budget to help you think about what you want to spend now and how that jives with your future goals.

Second, think about the annoying and worrisome side of remodeling and put what you want on paper. Your Expectations is designed to help.

Third, use Your Tastes to communicate where you are coming from in terms of price and value.

Fourth, Your Needs guides you through the process of making, prioritizing and ranking your needs.

Fifth, Your Scope, may or may not be something for you to tackle alone. For now, with your ranked list of needs, your budget, your expectations, and your tastes ON PAPER, you have all the information a qualified remodeling contractor needs to know in order to help you.

But don't meet with just any contractor. Why would you meet with a contractor who isn't qualified to do your project? Why would you want to risk poor results?
