The idea of tackling a remodeling job can be daunting. Whether you want to remove those old kitchen cabinets, redesign the laundry room, make some major style adjustments to the whole house, or simply swap out your flooring or paint color, home improvement projects are hardly ever easy to take on. But at some point, kinds grow up and move out, design styles change, elderly parents move in for care, and other significant life changes call for some changes to your home.
 
Any house remodeling project, whether big or little, requires diligent preparation to reduce the number of issues along the way and to guarantee that the result was what you were expecting. As such, we highly recommend taking the following actions prior to delving into any remodeling job:

• Nail down a budget first
• Make a list of needs and desires
• Select your preferred layout as well as design parameters

Expert Tips

"Popular home renovation shows make remodels and other major projects seem easy for the most part when in reality, they're often complicated and messy. That's why it's so crucial to have a concrete strategy in mind prior to beginning any home improvement task. When stressors arise, such as unforeseen issues, it's much easier to get back on track and keep your eyes on the prize. Good pre-planning always creates a smoother experience." - Owner, Edwardsville Handyman & Remodeling

Planning for a Remodel

Nail down a budget: We get it...crunching the numbers sucks, but your budget dictates what you can and can’t do. Once you settle on a target number, include an extra 10% to cover unforeseen issues that develop. Our quotes are normally very accurate, but there are some circumstances that are out of our control, including hidden water damage, mold, or infestations.

Make a list of needs and desires: Order it by how crucial each item is to you.

Select your preferred layout as well as design parameters: Looking for ideas? Walk through your local hardware store, take a tour of a model home in a new construction neighborhood, or thumb through a home and garden magazine. If you want to sell your home within the following 5 years, it's suggested that you design align pretty closely with current trends to avoid having issues selling.
​
Definitively plan each facet of the project: Determine what's going, what's staying, and also what's needing to be added, particularly in terms of structural elements. If the house is to be added to or walls need to be torn down, these are changes that can be backtracked once work has started, so if you're doubting yourself, simply wait until your plan is final prior to beginning anything.

Kitchen Remodel Edwardsville IL

Considering that the kitchen is the heart of the home, it’s one of the most commonly renovated areas. If done well, it can make a significant difference in the style of the home and also has the potential to greatly increase the value of the property. Being a typical gathering and food prep area, it's not surprising that a kitchen remodels are something we do all the time for customers. In addition to the pre-planning actions that should be taken before a remodel, we also advise you to:
​
Review your food prep, storage, and traffic pattern requirements. This will dictate your cabinet layout and general kitchen features. It's the most cost-effective to maintain the existing layout, however, the kitchen can usually be altered to match needs, desires, as well as new codes.

Choose your fixtures and finishes, including cabinets, counters, plumbing, flooring, backsplash, door hardware, and lighting.

Edwardsville IL Bathroom Remodel

Most people think of the restroom only as the area they rush through to get ready in the morning or where they spend a few minutes before jumping in to bed at night. However, if designed well, the bathroom can be a retreat where owners can relax, unwind, and enjoy spending time in. Once you have made the decision to tackle a bathroom remodel, we suggest taking the additional actions in addition to the ones listed above:

Take into consideration age-in-place measures you or a relative may require in the future, such as higher toilets and grab bars.
Choose the major functionality of the bathroom so you can choose how to lay it out. A master bath will have different needs than a power room, for example.

Choose your finishes and fixtures, including of plumbing, lighting, and flooring.

A bathroom renovation is a wonderful way to update a smaller space in a way that will make a difference in your life without breaking the bank
