What to Expect During Your Home Renovation Project

Sam NyBlom • October 12, 2023

Jumping into a home renovation project might have your head spinning with thoughts about expenses and what your new space will look like. It’s normal to feel a mix of excitement and nervousness! Getting a handle on what to expect can help calm those nerves and get you pumped for what’s to come. We at Precision Homecrafters are excited to be your partner through it all. This article will cover some things you should be prepared to experience during your home renovation project.


Dust and Disturbance


Regardless of preventive measures like dust walls, dust is inevitable. We will seal off the renovation area and take care to minimize dust, but some dust is inevitable. We will consult with you about HVAC strategies specific to your project to keep dust to an absolute minimum. 


Construction Noise


Prepare for periodic annoyance from the noise from machinery and tools. We will work with you to identify the phases in the construction schedule where you may need alternative places for relaxation and work distanced from the renovation site.


Satisfying (and Exciting!) Milestones


Seeing old, outdated components removed and your selected new features installed can offer a real sense of accomplishment and progress. It’s about those tangible moments when you can see your vision starting to come together - we can’t wait to celebrate them with you!


Change Orders


Alterations to your project’s original plan that affect cost and schedule, can feel overwhelming during the buzzing activity of construction. You can reduce a big source of change orders by giving design and selection decisions your full attention. In spite of everyone’s best efforts, change orders may still arise. If they do, just remember: before you know it, you’ll be enjoying your new space! 


Hidden Conditions


Another source of change orders is hidden conditions. While not super frequent, things like  irregular framing or improper electrical connections are revealed during construction. If it happens on your project,, you can take some comfort in knowing that the financial or time cost is heading off a potentially large future problem. 


Possible Delays


Delays are often unavoidable due to things such as weather, illness, or products damaged in shipping. Adopting a flexible mindset will help in maintaining composure during such times.


Decision Fatigue

Embarking on a home renovation project means delving into a world full of choices ranging from installation heights to fixture styles, and each one can feel just as important as the last. This continuous string of decisions can lead to "Decision Fatigue," a state of overwhelm and stress resulting from the constant need to make decisions, big or small. It's not just about making choices but about making the right ones, balancing practicality with aesthetics, and functionality with comfort.


Decision fatigue can be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be debilitating. You’re not going it alone!  Let our well-qualified and experienced  team organize and streamline the entire decision process. We understand the impact of each decision and are here to expertly guide you , ensuring each choice you make contributes to realizing your dream space.


Celebration Time!


Once your project is finished, it’s time to revel in the transformation. Hosting gatherings to showcase your revamped space can be a gratifying way to conclude the journey, sharing the joy with friends, contractors, and designers alike.

Updated Jun 5, 2023 Are you considering a house renovation but need help figuring out where to begin? Don't worry; you're not alone. Renovating a house can be daunting, especially if you need help figuring out where to start. As remodeling specialists, Precision Homecrafters understands the challenges homeowners face during this process. This blog post will provide expert advice on where to start when renovating a house into your dream home. Engage Professional Remodeling Services Working with a professional remodeling team is crucial to ensure a successful renovation. Precision Homecrafters has extensive experience in delivering reliable and professional remodeling services. They can guide you through every step, from design conceptualization to project completion. Their expertise and attention to detail will help bring your vision to life while ensuring quality craftsmanship. Define Your Goals The first step in any successful renovation project is to define your goals. Take time to envision what you want to achieve with your renovation. Are you looking to create more functional living spaces, enhance aesthetics, or increase the value of your home? Precision Homecrafters' experts can help guide you through numerous questions to consider–from budget creation to planning and execution. Clearly understanding your goals will help you prioritize and plan accordingly. Assess Your Budget Before diving into the renovation process, assessing your budget is essential. Determine how much you will invest in the project and allocate funds for different aspects, such as materials, labor, permits, and contingencies. Consulting with a remodeling specialist like Precision Homecrafters can help you understand the costs and make informed decisions. For instance, will your budget allow all of the work to be done simultaneously, or will it need to be done in phases? Performing all of the work at once typically results in cost savings. Conduct a Home Inspection To identify any underlying issues and plan for necessary repairs, it's crucial to conduct a thorough home inspection. Hire a professional inspector who can assess the condition of your home's structure, electrical systems, plumbing, and HVAC. This evaluation will help you address any hidden problems before commencing renovations. Research and Plan Is this your forever home, or do you plan to move in five years or less? Significant investments into your home that utilize higher quality materials and workmanship seldom yield a 100% return in the short term. These investments are generally made to improve the overall quality of life and day-to-day functionality, and the return on investment is realized over a more extended period of time. Profit on short-term fix-ups frequently includes superficial upgrades, builder-grade materials, and mediocre workmanship—research design ideas , materials, and finishes that align with your vision. Create a detailed plan outlining the changes you want to make in each area of your home. This plan will serve as a roadmap throughout the renovation process. Obtain Necessary Permits Depending on the scope of your renovation, you may need to obtain permits from your local municipality. Precision Homecrafters can assist you in navigating the permitting process, ensuring that your renovation adheres to building codes and regulations. Obtaining the necessary permits is essential to avoid potential legal issues and ensure the safety and compliance of your project. Starting a house renovation project can be overwhelming, but with careful planning and guidance from remodeling experts like Precision Homecrafters, you can turn your vision into a reality. Begin by defining your goals, assessing your budget, conducting a thorough home inspection, and prioritizing key areas. Research and plan diligently, engage professional remodeling services, and obtain the necessary permits. With Precision Homecrafters by your side, you can confidently embark on your renovation journey and transform your house into your dream home. Contact us today.
