Remodeling your home can be a lot of fun! From choosing new flooring, built-in cabinets, and trim details, there is an endless array of ways for you to get the exact home of your dreams.

That’s where most homeowners start, but there are some pieces that have to fall into place before you can really dig into the details of your remodel.

3 Things to Do Before You Start Planning the Details of Your Upcoming Denver Remodel

Here are three things you need to do first.

Call a Structural Engineer

The very first thing you need to do, even before you call in a contractor about your remodel, is call a structural engineer in Denver.

There’s no point in putting in new flooring if your floor isn’t structurally sound or blowing all of your money on decorative finishes only to find out that your foundation is cracked.

A structural engineer will assess the bones of your home so you know exactly what you’re working with. If anything needs to be repaired, it can be added to your budget upfront so you don’t discover the problem after you have run out of money.

Iron Out Your Timeline and Budget

You will want to know what your timeline is, but make sure to remain flexible, as it isn’t uncommon for projects to take longer than expected. If you want the project done before the holidays or before a family reunion, make sure you leave enough time in your schedule.

You have to create a budget too! You’ll want to make sure it’s also flexible, as things often come up during the home renovation process.

If you want to optimize your timeline and get the most bang for your buck, get multiple bids from other contractors. You’ll be more likely to find the right contractor at the right price when you do.

Make a Living Plan

Most people can’t afford to stay away for weeks or even months on end during a remodel. If you’re living at home through it all, you’ll want to make a living plan so life is as comfortable as possible throughout the process.

A few things you may want to consider while you’re living at home during a remodel include:

  • Consider planning a short trip at the beginning of your remodel so you don’t have to be at home during the demo phase.
  • Remove valuable items from your home so they don’t get damaged or stolen.
  • Work on one room at a time instead of trying to remodel multiple rooms at once.
  • Set up a no-construction zone that’s clean and comfortable throughout the entire remodel.
  • Make a plan for cooking and bathing, if the kitchen and bathroom are being remodeled.

It’s tempting to dive right into backsplashes, flooring, and hardware when planning a remodel, but there are things you have to focus on first.

You’ll stress less when you start with the three things on this list. You will also end up with a remodeled space that you will be able to enjoy for many years to come.
