Taking on renovations can be stressful. Generally, the larger a project is, the higher the potential for problems and the more complicated the process. This is why it's critical to engage in some serious planning before you embark on making whole house renovations. This includes prioritizing everything you hope to undertake during your ownership; start with the immediate 'must-do's', like repairs, before moving to ongoing maintenance and possible upgrades in the near future, and finishing with the 'dream objectives' that will see your transform the property into your ideal shelter. Here are the things you have to consider when to do full house renovation that will start you with the basics to home renovation.

Renovations increase the value of your home, but you need to think about why you're doing it. Is it to improve your home so you can enjoy living in it, to save money by adding energy-efficient windows and insulation, or to make money?


A lot of people are in the last category and they can be making a big mistake because they often spend their entire budget on things such as finishes and decor, and don't think about what holds their house together, and keeps it dry, safe and standing.


Some houses are renovated so they can look more profitable. There are a lot of I love to’s and it all ends up a waste of money.


Many people who do this are only interested in how the project looks. In order to maximize their profit, they do cover-ups - lipstick and mascara - and then move on, leaving the sucker who bought their house with a big problem - one that might not be discovered for years.


Nobody wants their whole house renovation to bring the value of their house down. Obviously, you want your house to look good, and when it comes time to sell it, it's nice to make a profit. But, if you're renovating with an eye to selling, make sure you aren't just covering up problems. Fix what needs to be done right; take care of the basics - plumbing, electrical, insulation, and heating ventilation and air conditioning. Make the house better than it was when you bought it. Then once you've done that, make it look good.


Not every renovation you do on your house will give you the same return on investment if you're doing it to sell. You might replace your roof and windows and fix the foundation - and that's the right thing to do. Practical renovations are smart and worth the investment in the long term. Unfortunately, a lot of home buyers don't get that excited about these very important points - but a new granite countertop and stainless steel appliances will impress them every time.


The best reason to renovate your home is to enjoy it. Your home is not just an investment. But if you are renovating to sell, use quality materials and hire professional, skilled people to do the job right.
