Renovation Do’s and Don’ts Before the Holidays

Many homeowners become focused on making their homes function perfectly for them and their guests during the holiday season. It’s easy to feel pressure to make a lot of changes, but knowing common pre-holiday remodeling pitfalls beforehand can help you avoid them. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Aiken, one of the state’s top home improvement contractors, has some remodeling do’s and don’ts to help you get started.

Things to Do

Verify the renovations can be finished before the holidays. Is it possible to finish your remodeling project before the holidays? The last thing you want on Christmas or New Year’s Eve is to make your guests navigate unfinished renovations or construction waste left behind.
Hire a reputable contractor. Only a contractor can gauge whether a home renovation project can be finished in time for the holidays. Look for a reputable contractor who will be upfront with you about the timelines for the project.
Find out which features can make your guests’ stay more comfortable. To maximize your investment, ask your contractor which features are best to accommodate guests. While it is true that first impressions last, what guests usually remember isn’t how impressive your facade is but how comfortable their stay was.

Things to Avoid

Getting too preoccupied with costs. Focusing too much on costs can prevent you from making the most of your investment. While at the end of the day, you still need to stick to your budget, you should discuss how you can get better ROI and value for the money.
Waiting until the last minute. Don’t wait until the last minute to call a contractor—it’s usually hard to schedule an appointment during the holidays.
