A lot of homeowners right now are debating between selling their home or remodeling it. Remodeling can help you achieve better use of your space, an updated style, or a combination of both. Whether it’s one room or the entire house, remodeling can be an exciting way to revamp your home. Like any home improvement project, though, it can also be time-consuming and expensive. At Value Blinds & Heirloom Draperies, serving the DC area, we understand how important your home remodeling project is to you. Check out these tips to help your remodeling project be a success!
Window treatments. By controlling the amount of natural light, your window treatments not only add a complementary style, they control the mood as well. New window treatments are a great place to start your remodeling project.
Precise measuring. Better yet, hire a professional to measure and install your new flooring, window treatments, counters and other items where precision is absolutely critical.
Manufacturers and vendors. When you choose a contractor for your remodeling project, look for one who listens to you and will make your project a top priority.
Planning. Look at the big picture, then work into the details to ensure your remodeling project turns out exactly the way you want it.
Prioritize. One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make when tackling a remodeling project is to make it so broad in scope they lose focus on their original intentions. Prioritization and staged remodeling is often more successful.
Warranties. Many materials — such as window treatments and flooring — will come with a warranty. Make sure you understand what’s covered, what’s not, and where to go if you need help in the future. Everyone wants to save money, but be sure you buy quality products from established manufacturers.
Budget. We all know that Murphy’s Law can put a wrinkle in even the best laid remodeling plans, so be sure you and your contractor build in a 20% budget contingency just in case you it.
