5 Steps for a Home Remodel
Step 3 - Hire the
Right Team
(Family Features)
A
s a homeowner, there is nearly always a laun-
dry list of projects with time and budget con-
straints when it comes to a home remodel.
This step-by-step guide from the experts at the Na-
tional Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI)
can help ensure you get the maximum return on your
investment and make the most of your remodel.
Step 1 - Identify Reasons for Remodeling
Deciding whether to undertake simple aesthetic
changes or a full remodel can be difficult. One of
the best ways to decide is to figure out why you are
remodeling in the first place, whether it’s to make
your new house feel more like home or to update a
1950s-era kitchen.
Step 2 - Set Your Budget
Every home is unique in structure, age, quality and
craftsmanship, which all impact the price of a remodel.
Since no one can see through walls before demolition,
the quote you receive will likely not be 100 percent ac-
curate. However, a qualified remodeling company will
be open and honest about the issues and challenges
it might face during the process. Account for these
adjustments by planning for any “surprises” with a 10
percent cushion, just in case.
To help ensure you
find the right com-
pany for the job,
you should do your
research. Referrals
from friends and
family are one way
to find a remodeler.
National associ-
ations like NARI
provide unbiased
information and
resources that
can help you find
qualified, certified
remodelers in your
area. With more
than 6,000 mem-
bers, the organi-
zation represents
professional remod-
elers who adhere to a strict code of ethics. Many hold
certifications in remodeling, kitchen and bath design
and lead carpentry. Find more information and re-
sources at NARI.org.
Step 4 - Understand the Plan
Communication is key in a successful remodeling proj-
ect. Keep the lines of communication open between
you, the remodeling
contractor and the
work crew. Don’t be
afraid to ask ques-
tions. Let them know
your family’s sched-
ule and whether you
have pets confined
somewhere. Make
sure to specify the
best way to reach
you, such as phone,
in-person or e-mail,
and how often you
wish to communi-
cate with your re-
modeling contractor
about your project.
Step 5 - Complete the Project
While the dust is settling and the remodel is almost
finished, take a moment to walk through your project
and note any adjustments that need to be made while
the contractor is still on site. Contractors often provide
guarantees of workmanship, so find out what they
cover and for how long then include this information
in your work agreement. You should also take another
look at the contract and confirm you have signed per-
mits, receipts, change orders, lien waivers, warranties
and manufacturers’ guides at your disposal.
Remodeling a space can be a major project, but with
the right help, resources and information, you can
make your dream home come to fruition.
