FAQ

Do I require permits to renovate a house?

How do I plan for a whole house renovation?
Research and careful planning are essential when planning a house remodel. There are many things you should consider before starting your project. You must first decide what type home improvement you want. There are many categories that you could choose from: kitchen, bathroom or bedroom; living room or dining room. Once you've decided on which category to work on you will need to calculate how much money is available for your project. If you do not have any previous experience in working with homes, it is best that you budget at least $5,000 per bedroom. If you have some experience, then you might be able to get away with less than this amount.
Once you have figured out how much money you can afford to spend, you'll have to determine how big of a job you want to tackle. For example, if you only have enough money for a small kitchen remodel, you won't be able to add a new flooring surface, install a new countertop, or even paint the walls. On the other side, if your budget allows for a full renovation of your kitchen, you'll be able do just about any task.
Next, you need to find a contractor who is experienced in the type project that you want. You'll get high-quality results and save yourself lots of headaches down the line. After you have selected a professional contractor, you can start to gather materials and supplies. Depending on the size of your project, you may need to buy everything from scratch. There are many stores that offer pre-made products so it shouldn't be difficult to find what you need.
Once you have all of the necessary supplies, you can start making plans. The first step is to make a sketch of the places you intend to place furniture and appliances. Next, design the layout of your rooms. You should leave enough space for electrical outlets and plumbing. You should also place the most frequently used areas closest to the front door, so visitors have easy access. Last, choose the colors and finishes that you want to finish your design. In order to avoid spending too much money, stick to neutral tones and simple designs.
Now that you're finished drawing up your plan, it's finally time to start building! Before you start any construction, be sure to check the local codes. While permits are required in some cities, homeowners can build without one in others. You will need to first remove all walls and floors that are not required for construction. To protect your flooring, you will lay plywood sheets. Next, you'll attach the wood pieces to the frame of your cabinets. Finally, attach doors to the frame.
When you're done, you'll still have a few finishing touches to do. For example, you'll probably want to cover exposed pipes and wires. Plastic sheeting and tape are used to cover exposed wires. It's also a good idea to hang mirrors and photos. Be sure to tidy up your work space at all costs.
