Contrary to what many homeowners believe, demand for remodelers often spikes before the holidays, with a lot of people wanting to update their homes before family and friends come over for a visit. Today, we have to tips to help you avoid common pre-holiday remodeling pitfalls. DreamMaker® of St Louis Park, one of the state’s top bathroom remodeling contractors, lists below the pre-holiday remodeling dos and don’ts you should take note of.
Things You Should Do
- Determine if the project can realistically be completed before the holidays. Will your home be ready for your guests by the time they arrive on Christmas or New Year’s Eve? You’re not going to have any work done on those days, of course, but if your remodel is not finished by then, you’re looking at mess from an ongoing project that can put a damper on the holiday spirit.
- Hire a qualified and reputable contractor. Only an experienced contractor can tell you if a home renovation can really be done in time for the holidays, which is why you need to make sure you hire one that will be upfront about project timelines and expectations. Otherwise, you might end up making decisions you regret later on.
- Maximize your guests’ comfort. First impressions last, but it’s the level of comfort your guests experience that makes their stay memorable. Ask your contractor about the best features to cater to guests.
Things You Shouldn’t Do
- Focus too much on the cost. While it’s important to stick to your budget, you can’t get too preoccupied with costs. Remember, when making a remodeling investment, always factor in the potential ROI and getting the most value for your money.
- Wait until the last minute. There’s still plenty of time for some renovation projects, but it’s best to get in touch with a trusted contractor as soon as possible.
