Save Money on Your Next Home Renovation

Home renovations can be such a fun experience as a homeowner. Planning out and finally executing steps toward your dream home can feel so fulfilling!

While it can be fun to pick out paint colors and fixtures and design your space, you could wind up with sticker shock when you see the final price estimate. Below are some tips that can help you save money while still accomplishing your project!

Don’t Stray From Your Budget

All good home projects should have a budget before you even begin. It can be easy to shop around home improvement stores and find what you like, but that can add up quickly.

Going in with a budget in mind can help you avoid the materials and fixtures that are unrealistic.

The good news is that you can still achieve the look you want without breaking the bank. If a new vanity is something you have been wanting but is not a possibility, research what you want and buy a cabinet-friendly paint and new drawer pulls or hardware. If a kitchen remodel is in your sights, start with new faucets or a fun new backsplash!

Take Your Time With the Remodel

The best things come to those who wait! If you spread out the project over a longer period of time, this allows you to save money and work within your monthly budget to avoid getting overwhelmed.

It is also a good idea to start with a single space or project so that you can gain design inspiration as it comes together.

Gutting an entire level of your home all at one time can leave you overwhelmed, frustrated and strapped for cash. This also leaves you vulnerable if you run into an unexpected expense during the renovation process. If an entire area of your home is unusable, it can put you in a tight spot on deciding what to fix and when.

Be Smart About Who You Hire to Help You

If your home project is just a small remodel or renovation, you can certainly tackle it yourself! However, some projects should be handled by professionals that fully understand what is required and can safely reconstruct your home.

Do your research and read reviews on companies and contractors for reassurance before you sign any contracts.

Of course, if your project requires new or added insulation, the choice is easy! The Koala Insulation of Chattanooga team is ready and willing to help you with any remodel project.
