Planning Your Home Renovation FAQs
Where should I start?
First, list your goals and must-haves. Then, set a budget before choosing finishes or booking the work.
What should my budget include?
Include labour, materials, taxes and permits. Also, keep funds aside for hidden damage and other unplanned work.
Will I need a building permit?
It depends on the project. Therefore, check local requirements before work starts, especially for wall changes or additions.
How do I compare contractors?
Review references, insurance and written quotes for the same work. Also, ask how each contractor handles changes.
Can I renovate over old water damage?
First, check the cause and condition. Fix active leaks and address wet or damaged materials before adding new finishes.
