Beginners Home Remodeling - Where Do I Begin?

One of the hardest parts for a beginners home remodeling project is to know where to begin.
The best place to begin is by figuring out what you really want to get out of your remodeling project and then plan, plan and plan some more! Remodeling is one of those projects where you can constantly keep increasing the cost by adding on more and/or more expensive options.
Nothing would be worse than sitting with a half-finished project and no money to complete it because you did not properly plan it out.
Plan out your remodel either by yourself or with an interior designer or professional architect.
Cost out each item that you want to include.
This will not only give you your working budget but will also dictate where to start on your project and which parts you can actually afford to do at this time.
Remember to include not only the large items that will go into your project but also the smaller items like fasteners, applicators and tools required.
It is easy in beginners home remodeling projects to just get caught up in the overall picture of the remodel but the details cost money also.
If not carefully planned, the details can blow your budget out of the water.
And because it is often difficult to know every expense even after carefully costing out all your details, plan to add 10 - 15% to your budget to cover unexpected expenses, upgrades or sudden price increases.
After deciding what you want to achieve in the broad scheme (i.
e.
painting, replacing counters, flooring etc), decide on your theme or specific colors.
This is necessary because some colors may cost more that others for certain products.
Plus once you have your color scheme in place, you can work all the rest of the details around it.
