BUDGETING AND PLANNING YOUR WHOLE HOUSE REMODEL
Why Plan? Before diving into a whole house remodel, it’s crucial to define your goals clearly. Determine precisely what you want to achieve with the remodel. Define the scope of work and prioritize elements like adding a new bath or other essentials.
How to Begin? Understanding your budget and financial capacity is the cornerstone. Consult with a lender if necessary to assess your financial options and capabilities.
Selecting the Right Partner: Choosing the right architect and Long Island contractor is pivotal. Ensure they’re licensed, insured, and hold a reputable track record. Seek referrals from trusted friends or sources like the American Institute of Architects (AIA). Interview potential candidates to find the best fit for your project.
Decisions Matter: Take ample time to select all the products and finishes before commencing the work. Consider whether an interior designer’s expertise could benefit your project. Samples and testing are essential, aligning with the overall aesthetic. Collaboration with your contractor is crucial during this phase.
Timing Matters: Decide when you’re ready to kickstart the project. Assess if moving out of the house during the remodel is necessary. A detailed schedule from your contractor is imperative to keep the project on track.
