Here is a remodeling checklist to help you create a master plan for your home.
Does your home need to be updated to meet your functionality needs? The optimal solution would be a whole-house remodeling project that addresses all concerns. But what if that is not possible at this time? Working with a home remodeling company is the best way to discover what is possible now and how to move forward. The right company will help you develop a plan to make needed changes over time and within a budget that works for you.
Looking at your home holistically allows you to create a master plan, eliminating the need to rework or ‘undo’ past projects. Here is a remodeling checklist to help you create a master plan for your home.
What Order Should You Remodel Your Home?
The first step is to list the issues you want to address, plus your needs and wants in an upgraded space. Does your kitchen need to be updated? Does uneven flooring block the flow in the main living area? Does the primary bedroom need more closet and bathroom space?
While you may not hammer out every detail in one sitting, you can have a solid idea of how you will move forward.
Have a Plan for Each Level of Your Home
You must work closely with your building team, assessing each floor of your home to plan renovations over time. A skilled remodeling contractor will work within your budget to address immediate needs while planning for future projects. This allows you to establish clear goals for each level of your home.
For example, you may want a kitchen renovation and an open-concept floor plan, but you also want to add a second-floor primary suite. In this case, you need to have a clear picture of where you’ll be running plumbing, HVAC, and electrical and be clear on what walls need to be removed downstairs. Determining the path for the mechanical and plumbing lines upfront will eliminate the need for rework in the future
Account for Possible Life Changes
Before you finalize your plan, consider what the future will look like in your household. You are creating this master plan because you want to stay in the home you love so much. But that doesn’t mean life will remain the same over the years. Family size, living arrangements, and financial situations can change over time. Important life changes that may impact your decision include:
- Changing family dynamics as children grow older
- Do you have aging parents who may join your household?
- Are you planning to have more children?
- Are you sending your children to private school or college in the near future?
- Have you purchased a second property recently?
- Are you nearing retirement?
