Your neighbors are great, you have a nice yard or view, you’re close to everything, but have grown tired of your home’s interior. What do you do?
Maybe it’s time to breathe new life into your space and remodel your home. With 80% of homes in the US being over 20 years old, most homes are in need of some sort of remodeling or home improvement.
Besides considering the home remodeling timeline, there are a lot of other things to ponder when it comes to a whole home remodel.

How to Start a Whole Home Remodel
If you are a weekend warrior, you’re going to have to take a much different approach to a whole home remodel. It can be very overwhelming, but manageable if you plan it right. How should you start?
Decide on Your Goal
Why do you want to remodel? What do you want the end product to be? Do you need a more functional kitchen? Do you want an open floor plan?
Once you decide on your primary goal, a contractor can guide you as to where to invest the majority of your budget to get what you want.
Make a list of must-haves, things you’d like, and things you don’t want or could live without. This list will help keep you focused as the project progresses and gets more complicated.
Gather Pictures and Ideas of What You Want
Visit home showrooms and model homes to get ideas. Search home websites for pictures and start an album of things you like. Decide on what type/color fixtures you want. Choose a color scheme and style. Look at the latest trends in remodeling.
What is Your Budget?
You can’t jump into a project without a budget especially when remodeling. Having a budget in mind will steer you towards what you can afford to do with your home.
Be realistic and keep in mind that if you plan to stay in the house, you can expect a good return on your investment.
Home Remodel Timeline
A whole-home remodel takes “a long time”! When you’re living through it, it can seem like an eternity. Your contractor will give you a timeline so you have some idea how long each part of the project will take.
