5 Tips for Managing Remodeling Costs

Keep reading for some tips on managing remodeling costs during the design phase.

Many homeowners dream of remodeling their homes, but some may feel overwhelmed at the thought of the final bill. Some contractors often fail to  assess the client’s needs and the home’s condition during the design phase.

Choosing a contractor that will help you thoroughly evaluate all your options and how to budget for them during the design phase is important. This can keep remodeling costs down by helping you avoid change orders, accurately budget for materials and labor, and help the project stay on schedule. Keep reading for some tips on managing remodeling costs during the design phase.

Choose the Right Materials

Choosing high-quality, durable, low-maintenance materials upfront is essential. While they may cost more initially, they will pay for themselves over time by not breaking or wearing out and being easy to maintain. Your remodeling contractor might have inside knowledge of the best materials at lower prices. Choosing classic, durable materials will also keep the resale value high if you ever decide to sell.

Keep the Existing Floor Plan

It’s important to evaluate your electrical, plumbing, and HVAC during a remodeling project to make necessary upgrades. If they are in good shape, you could leave them as is. You can also save a considerable amount of money if you leave the floor plan as it is. As you go through the design phase, you can find incredible and creative ways to use your existing space in new, fresh ways to keep a similar footprint but maximize style and functionality.

If It’s Not Broke, Don’t Fix It

While everyone loves luxurious items like wide-planked, hand-scraped flooring, if your current hardwood floors are in good shape, maybe a surface update is all you need to freshen up the space. Consider what you still love about your home to seamlessly tie the old and new together, which can help keep the remodeling project costs at bay.

Prioritize Energy Efficiency

In addition to using more sustainable materials and building practices, consider incorporating smart, energy-saving technologies into your renovation. This will lower your energy bills and help you save water with high-efficiency fixtures, faucets, and appliances.
