#1. A smaller remodel project could be just as expensive as a bigger addition. A lot of the time and cost of a remodel—getting permits, getting a contractor, and doing the demolition—are the same no matter the size of your remodel. You do not want to underestimate the price of the addition to your home.
#2. Quality Materials vs. cost
With the cost of everything, especially lumber, on the rise it may be tempting to cut cost on quality wood and other items. But be careful of going cheap on material. What’s the point of saving a few dollars today if you will pay even more to repair or refinish the project at later time?
#3. Do not be in a hurry the project planning. Make sure you take time to think about all the things you need and have readied plans with the architect and contractor before demolition or construction starts. Above all else, make sure you are comfortable with the contractor and that you have a clear cut plan for not just the work, but the cost of each step and materials of the project.
#4. Be sure to look at all zoning and construction laws in your city. You need to make sure you know which permits are needed. It might be tempting to just get it going, you must do all of this before you begin construction. When in doubt, ask your contractor. They should be very familiar with all the city, county and state laws as well as permits that you will need.
#5. Home remodeling projects are a slow process and take time. Many times weather is a factor. Try and avoid having a hard deadline that can’t be altered. You might as well take your time and factor in some extra time to finish the construction project without rushing through and the risk of some steps being missed.
