Renovations take time, from planning to execution, and the expenses are no small, insignificant thing. You should have a practical approach to your interior remodeling project so that you can avoid wasting time and money. In this post, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of West Collin County lists a few common mistakes to avoid to ensure quality results for your remodel.
Underestimating Costs
It’s almost impossible to know the exact costs of a project beforehand since there could be unexpected changes along the way. Many jobs end up costing more and taking longer than expected, so always add 20% to the estimated cost when budgeting. If the total bill turns out to be lower than your projected cost, then that’s good news for you.
Hiring the Contractor With the Lowest Bid
Remodeling contractors will give you varying quotes for your project. Sometimes their bids will only differ by a small amount, but other times you might come across a very cheap quote. Tempting as it may be, the lowest bid is not always to your advantage, so carefully consider what the estimate includes.
Not Asking Questions
Make sure that you have a good understanding of your contractor’s design proposal. If something does not seem right or it’s causing some confusion, don’t hesitate to ask questions. In fact, ask lots of questions about the project. This way, you’ll know exactly what to expect from the remodeler.
Changing Your Mind
If you make too many changes, you risk delaying the project and spending more than your budget. Sometimes even seemingly minor changes — such as moving a light switch by a small distance — can add up and significantly increase your expenses.
