As you get started with your remodeling project… or while considering a remodeling project, here are some things to ask yourself and to keep in mind.

• Where changes are needed or wanted?

• Identify what your remodeling budget looks like.

• Determine needs vs. wants… I need a bathroom… I want a whirlpool

• Plan for the future; Are you needing more room, or re-purposing existing space?

• Have ideas of what you like and don’t like.

• Consider the cost of upgrading appliances and furniture while planning for your remodel.

• If you are seeking competitive bids, make sure all bidders have the same plans in front of them so the bids can be compared equally.

• Do your homework and choose a contractor you feel comfortable working with throughout the project.
