Why You Should Do Your Research Before a Remodel

Most homeowners have to remodel or renovate their home at some point, and most experience some degree of sticker shock. A recent survey asked homeowners about after-purchase home costs and how much they expected to spend on a remodel. In this post, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Ogden, a local kitchen remodel expert, discusses this survey and offers tips to help you save money.

The Homeowner Survey

The survey by Clever asked homeowners which renovations and home upgrades they planned to undertake in the next five years. The most popular renovations were landscaping, new flooring, a bathroom remodel, a kitchen remodel and a new deck or patio. Homeowners were aware of which renovations would cost the most, but they were way off when it came to the actual cost of these renovations. That’s why you should always do your research and ask for a professional’s opinion when planning remodeling projects.

Tips to Help You Save Money

Remodeling projects tend to cost much more than homeowners expect because they forget to factor in the unexpected. You should always have a contingency fund ready to help you cover unexpected remodeling emergencies. During a project, you might have to adjust your plans or seek alternatives. You have to trust your contractor and allow them to help you find the most cost-effective way to reach your remodeling goals.

The best way to save money during your remodeling project is to hire a great remodeling company. A reputable company will do its best to minimize delays and avoid disrupting your routine. Working with a great company will save you money by reducing the risk of future expenses resulting from remodeling mistakes. During your project, you should also track your expenses when choosing your materials, fixtures and accessories.
