Your positive action combined with positive
thinking results in success. - Shiv Khera
(BPT) - Home improvement projects are
popular this time of year and you’ve certainly
tackled your share of DIY to-dos in the past.
But not this year. This year you realize it’s
time to go big, to go bold, to set aside those
traditional home improvement projects for
another year and do something even bigger.
Whether your plans include renovating
one room, a floor or your entire home,
there’s no denying that a renovation project
greatly increases the scope of the work to
be done - and the expense. And because of
that, it’s incredibly important to have your
entire plan laid out before you begin. After
all, the last thing you want to do is renovate
your latest renovation.
* Finalize your goals. The largest projects
are more successful when they are planned
down to the finest details and that includes
getting very specific about your goals. Don’t
settle for a goal of simply improving your
home. Decide if you’re trying to up the resale
value, add more space, create a hobby area or
finally build the bathroom you deserve. Any
or all of these could qualify as improving
your home, but when you get specific about
your goal, you’ll better recognize what needs
to be done to attain it.
* Determine if you need to update/replace
core systems. Your air conditioning unit, water
softener and furnace are all vital components
in your home and it’s easy to take the work
they do every day for granted. However,
these systems eventually need replacement as
well, and your home renovation could be the
perfect time to tackle this task. Take your air
conditioning unit, for example, and replace
your old, inefficient unit with the newest
two-stage Luxaire Acclimate Air Conditioner.
It uses a two-stage compressor to meet your
comfort needs and its SilentDrive system
ensures a peaceful, enjoyable experience. In
addition, you can also access its Hx Touchscreen
Thermostat via your smartphone for
total temperature control no matter where
you are.
* Set your budget. Many homeowners have
no idea what a renovation project will cost
and even if they do, unexpected expenses
can appear very quickly. If you are working
with a contractor, they should be able to give
you a fairly accurate estimation of how much
your project will cost. However, it’s still a
good idea to determine what your absolute
spending ceiling is for the project and not
go above it. This means making sure you
budget in some extra space below this mark
to allot for unexpected expenses.
* Organize your calendar. Delays during
a renovation project will cost you time and
money, so it pays to eliminate them when
possible. Do you plan to remain in your home
during the project? Are there any seasonal
plans - like a family vacation - that could
interfere with the progress? Understand these
potential hazards early and you can plan for
ways to minimize them.
* Know what you can do and, more
importantly, what you can’t. When you
move from a home improvement project to
a renovation, you’re also probably moving
from DIY to hiring an expert. Tackle what
you can yourself - including buying materials
for the project, which will save you the
contractor’s mark-up - but leave the things
you don’t know how to do in the hands of
the professionals. Doing so will make sure
that you’re happier with the result and that
you don’t have to pay someone to fix your
mistakes. *
