Home Renovation Basics

A house that had been
built long ago needs a
lot of renovation to
match with modern
designs.

1
Every home is different
 Some renovation adds values to some homes and reduces value in

others. But your tastes can play a vital role.
 We should consider our budgets as well
 Creativity. Sometimes the possibilities
Of renovation can depend on your creativity.
Your style and design ideas coupled
with quality materials are the
formulae for a breathtaking and
spectacular home.
 There are different tastes and
requirements the owner might choose.
But here are some general basics
that will help you to add comfort
and value to your existing home.
2
 Home renovating involves a wide range of considerations such as

style, budget, energy efficiency and accessibility. Style is the most
important consideration because it is important to know the look you
are after.
 If possible you can use a design software that allows you to arrange and
rearrange the walls, move the walls, reposition appliances and change
colors. It will let you know how things would look before even
renovating your home.
 Keep in mind that quality can take time. Sometime you can be forced to
wait for the delivery of quality materials or a reliable expert. Although it
is frustrating, after everything you will be glad for insisting on quality.
 You must get prepared for any inconveniences such as workers moving
in and out of your house and dust covering your properties.

3
Permission
 Before deciding whether you’ll

renovate on your own or hire a
professional, you must keep in mind
that changing anything related to the
overall structure of your home needs
to become known to your local
government and homeowners
association. You must secure a home
repair permit to get permission in
renovating your house. This would
serve as a document that would give
you the license to conduct some
renovation changes in your house.

4
Start with a plan and a budget
 It is important to have a plan so as to know where you are going a head

of time. You should also have your timetable so that you do not take
long wasting your time when renovating your house.
 When formulating your plan, you should consider multitasking. For
instance if you need install a new drywall and break one of your
walls, you should take this advantage and update the wiring. Instead of
buying tools and supplies when you need them, you can make an
estimate of how much you need. This will enable you to enjoy
discounted prices for bulk purchases.
 You should also check out the total cost you can take in renovating your
house and how you are going to obtain the funds. It is important to
start renovating when you have more than enough to avoid problems of
lack of money.

5
Home Renovation Basics
 First check out the interior and exterior part of your house. In the

interior you must replace the outdated ceiling and lights. You must
select a renowned bathroom remodeling company to update the sink
faucet fixtures in your kitchen and bathroom.
 You should patch cracks on walls, repair the leaky points, carpentry and
paint the interiors. Change the furniture, floor and decorate the interior
of your home.
 Decorate the exterior part of your home by planting a few flowers or
shrubs, adding house name plates, replace the porch light, rotted wood
on railings, steps, window and door trims. You should also paint the
trims around doors and windows. Replace the shutters which are
damaged and repair the damaged walkways.

6
Home Renovation Basics
 After deciding the interior and exterior renovations of your house, you

should make an appointment with a Renowned Bathroom Remodeling
Company and inform them you are planning to renovate your home.
 Show them your idea and the budget limits.
 Accept their insight on what they feel is appropriate in the renovation.
You must show them the areas to be renovated and take heir
suggestion. You should not hesitate to ask as many questions as
possible. You should revise your plan after their suggestions and make
your decision according to their advice and budget.
 You will then decide when the renovation will start and inform the
company.

7
Update Your Flooring
 You must choose the best flooring by considering the functions of your

rooms. For instance you can use a soft floor with carpets such as
hardwood flooring for a playroom to add warmth.
 You should consider slip resisting flooring to add an element of safety
in your home.

8
Update Your Lighting
 Lighting is an important consideration to avoid darkness in your home.

Choose energy efficient dimmers for your rooms. Recessed halogens are
the most widely used fixtures in many homes. They are able to brighten
rooms without taking up much space by pairing them with ambient
lights.
 Note that recessed lighting fixtures require more installation space. The
smaller the can, the more expensive the fixture. Ensure that there is
enough height above the ceiling to accommodate the can part of the
fixture.
 By updating the lighting in you home
You can change its atmosphere, you can
Decide to install both dimmer light and
Bright light.
9
Ceiling
 Have a contractor to discus the type of

ceiling to install. For instance if your
basement has a ceiling height of less
than eight feet, installing the ceiling with
painted Gyprock or sheetrock might be
the best option.
 Ensure that you must access electric
wires for any repairs that may be
required.
 You can install suspended ceiling if the
ceiling of your basement is beyond 8 ft.
Suspended ceiling consists of attractive
that is installed to cover the existing
ceiling. You can get different colours and
they cam be concealed with decorative
strips.
10
Refresh Kitchen And Bathroom Cabinets
With Paint

 You can paint the

cabinets and replace
the sink fixtures. They
have been proved to be
the best and easy ways
in updating a bathroom
or kitchen.

11
Replace Kitchen Countertops & Add An
Island
 Countertop finishes

are found in many
different choices and
colors. Consider
discussing with your
contractor about all
materials available in
the market to help
you decide.
 Make the most of a
kitchen island by
having as much
storage as possible.

12
Trim And Moulding
 Install trim and

moulding on your
basement by adding
architectural details
like baseboards.
Consider overscale
crown moulding for
living and dining
rooms, painted
matte white to create
a grand, Paris
apartment feel.

13
Add Storage
 For more sophistication

and save space you
should consider building
storage. These can add
more meaning to your
room. It is important to
plan for the maximum
amount of storage such
as carved drawers, under
the stairs or built-in
shelving and closets.

14
Cover Radiators

 Replace the radiators

because they can look
dull if they are
old, making a room
become awry when they
are one sided. Cover
them and create a
matching faux cover on
the other side to add
symmetry and elegance
to your rooms.

15
Entertainment
 Keep in mind that entertainment is one of the most important

considerations in a modern home.
You should consider the designs that incorporate LCD screen televisions
as part of the décor and a design that conceals it when not in use for the
best look.

16
Colors and textures

 To completely update the

design of your home, you
can change the colors so as
to upgrade the appearance
of your home. You should
use your favorite paint to
match with your
appliances, you can also
seek advice from your
renowned bathroom
remodeling company.

17
Hire the most reliable company
 Avoid doing it on your own. You

should consider hiring a reliable
home improvement company to add
more advantages to your renovation.
You will need the services of an
expert at some point to turn your
idea into a reality.

18
Sensible decisions
 Be aware that technology is changing. The presence of many appliances

in the new technology can cause fear and intimidation. But appliances
like water heaters and solar power systems or geothermal heating
systems are all important. They are very efficient and it is important to
add them to lower your energy costs.

19
Conclusion
 Repairing your home requires you to do

some preparatory tasks. You must prepare
well before this cost-efficient home
improvement task begins.
 It is an aesthetic process that involves
doors, floor, walls, windows and any other
aspect that needs change in your home.
 It is important to do it when the people
staying in this home are away, because this
process can bring health hazards to them
due to the chemicals used in some
processes or nails and sharp objects which
can cause harm. But the whole process can
bring about great change in your home.
 Safety should always be your first priority.
