highly recommended and research online reviews . A good team removes some stress from the project because you ’ ll know the work is in experienced hands .
• Prepare the space for the remodel . Any work you can do will help save on labor costs and make it easier for the team to get started on the project . Clear out clutter and personal items . Ask if it would be helpful for you to handle some demolition , whether that ’ s pulling up old tile , removing drywall or another task .
• Have an escape hatch at the ready . Home renovations can cause upheaval to daily life , and that can mean stress on top of already chaotic schedules . If money and situation allow , plan a getaway during a particularly tough stretch of the project so the noise , mess , and disruptions will not induce headaches . Consider spending a few nights at a hotel or a friend or relative ’ s house to escape the constant grind of the project .
Home renovation projects add value and functionality to homes . Such undertakings can go more smoothly with some sound planning .
