Everyone knows home renovations take time and effort, but just how much time should you allocate to each phase? It depends on the part of your home that’s being remodeled and how extensive the home renovations are. For instance, the planning phase of a kitchen remodel usually takes one to two months. Homeowners shouldn’t make the mistake of rushing through this phase. Here’s why.
Proper Planning Sets Realistic Expectations
Don’t underestimate the importance of coming up with a detailed vision for your dream interior and setting goals towards achieving it. If you don’t have a clear vision for your remodeling project, you’ll most likely end up disappointed, no matter the end result. Having trouble coming up with a clear vision? Consult a trusted interior remodeling contractor like DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Huntsville.
Doing Your Research Helps Maximize ROI
While it’s important to stay within your budget, you can’t become too preoccupied with the costs. Focus instead on how you can maximize your returns on investment. Doing your research on the features that can increase property value and improve indoor comfort can help you do that.
Underlying Issues Can Be Addressed
A longer planning and design phase will give you and your contractor more time to detect potential issues that may create problems in the later stages of the project. Once construction begins, it’s difficult to go back and rectify these issues. Allocating enough time to the planning phase also reduces the risk of design errors, which are usually a given in renovation projects that are rushed.
Choosing a New Design Can Be Tricky
It takes time to finalize a design and layout that fits with the existing interior design while ensuring the transitions between the different parts of your home are smooth and consistent. Remember: when it comes to interior design, consistency is key.
Easily Avoid Errors
The less time you allocate to the design and planning phase, the more likely you are to rush the planning process, and the higher the risk of easily avoidable but costly errors.
