When you’re interested in a home that’s new to you, don’t just purchase it and assume that it’s perfect the way it is. You’ll likely have to plan a few more remodeling projects before moving in if you want it to fit your needs and preferences. Such renovations can be anything that improves comfort and convenience in your living space.
But whether you’re remodeling to accommodate parties or add more convenience to your kitchen to help prepare meals with ease, you need to work with a team of remodeling professionals who can get the job done. They’ll even know how to thoroughly inspect your home and provide you with an honest bathroom or kitchen quote should you decide to remodel these areas before you move in!
However, there’s no need to rush your remodeling plans if the pre-built home already has most of the things you’re looking for. You can choose to do a few renovations instead over the next few months! If you’re still not sure whether to remodel first before moving in or after, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Beaverton gives insight on what to consider:
When You Remodel Before Moving In
If you think your new-to-you home needs a renovation before moving in, remember that it can take a few weeks to a few months depending on what your plans are. But having the renovations done first before moving in may be unavoidable if they’re necessary to ensure it accommodates your lifestyle. It may also be best not move in immediately if it’s a major fixer-upper. Moving in right away may not be the best option if you’re planning to expand the living space by building an additional room or another floor.
When You Remodel After Moving In
Even after calling your trusted remodeler to get a kitchen or bathroom estimate, you might think twice about getting a remodel immediately and instead choose to live in your new home for a while. Don’t think that this is a bad decision since this can help you get a better handle on the interiors and amenities. You’ll even get to know the foot traffic choke points throughout the living space and how they can be redesigned and consider additional renovations to improve your home lifestyle!
Waiting for a few months also gives you an idea of how much you’ll need to spend on the renovations. It’s also easier to decide which rooms will need additional cabinets, closets, and other types of storage. You might even change your mind later and retain some of the original details that you initially wanted to remodel, which means you can save money on your home renovation!
