Let’s face it remodels can seem daunting!

There is a process and I continue to sharpen my tools and provide a better idea of expectations. The creative aspect is just a portion of the scope.

We review the needs, wants and decide what can be accomplished within reason based on the amount agreed upon.

If we are redoing the floors, we should consider new trim, vent covers, new toilets, vanities, taping off the furniture and rooms so the clean-up is not a total shit show!

Where are we going to store these items to ensure we have them all in before the project starts. How long should you expect to be out of the house for some of this? I learned from a very savvy client that setting up a make-shift coffee, drink, and snack bar in an area not under construction is a smart thing to do. If you are doing new hardwoods, they should be at the house around 5 days to 2 weeks. Pick a new sink and plumbing fixtures as well as your appliances if you are replacing them where new countertops are going.

Make room for a roll off in your driveway and make sure it is approved. Don’t plan on parking your car in the garage for a bit.

Make sure your fridge is cleaned out before appliance movers come to move to the garage so the floors can be done.

If your cabinets are going to be painted, now is the time to find new hardware.

When selecting your tile you will need grout, caulk, trim pieces (Schluter, bullnose, deco trim).

With all of these tips, the team is where it’s at! I am so lucky to work with Remodelex and I know my clients feel like the process is smooth. Their contract is clear and they keep a dry erase board at the house with what is happening on what day. We receive daily photo’s of the work that is completed. Communication is key.
