Avoiding Sticker Shock: How to Make the Most of Your Investment

There are various home renovation projects that can dramatically improve your home’s comfort, function and value. When you carefully choose which projects to tackle and prioritize, you will eventually find your investment worth it. This is why it’s important to learn as much as you can about a project before pulling the trigger. You want your next home improvement project to meet your renovation goals.

Unfortunately, some homeowners skip the research part, leaving themselves vulnerable to sticker shock. In a recent survey by Clever, a platform that connects real estate buyers, sellers and agents, it was found that many homeowners don’t have a clear idea how much remodeling projects cost.

To help make sure that you get the most out of your home remodel investment, check out these tips:

Choose your contractor carefully. It’s important that you work with a reliable home remodeling contractor that will not provide you with an underpriced quote or estimate, then surprise you with a bigger bill later on.
Remember that quality isn’t cheap and cheap isn’t quality. When it comes to home improvement, when an estimate is too good to be true, it probably is. You have to consider that the quality of a renovation project depends on the workmanship and quality of materials used.
It’s best to have a cushion. When planning a remodel, aside from the initial budget you set, it will be helpful to have a bit of extra cushion in case there are things that you want or need to add to the remodel.
