What to Consider in House Remodeling Plans
By Milos Pesic
Remodeling a house nowadays has taken much attention already. It is probably because people realize that such house remodeling is an investment---there's a high potential return and a good improvement in the quality of life. So, what does it take to get and have the best house remodeling then? It basically boils down to quality and cost --- that you paid a very good price for a very good material. After this, comes the other things that need to be noted.
Of course, in house remodeling, not only will you have to consider the cost, the material, and the design, but also, there's the factor of time and effort. Homeowners should estimate the approximate time frame or period that such reconstruction will need and take. Definitely, you can't start reconstructing the kitchen or the dining room, if you expect to celebrate a big birthday party in the house in a week's time. Just like in budgeting your funds, you must learn how to budget your time, that it shouldn't sacrifice the work quality of the reconstruction.
There are also major things---dos and don'ts, that one has to think and note. These are: the material or product --- cost, quality, health and environmental effects, maintenance, etc.; the workforce --- functions, craftsmanship, skills, etc.; the location --- neighborhood, property demand,, etc.; the electrical and mechanical --- the wirings, fuses, etc.; and the layout or design of the whole renovation. One should know the ins-and-outs first, before one embarks on this task. This may look and sound easy, but truly it's not. You may pay someone to oversee everything but if you're not in the know, you may not be satisfied in the end.
Another major point is that one must always think that because this is an investment, he should recoup the expenditures spent on the remodeling. It doesn't really mean that one should sell the house, but this is just to ensure that the house remodeling is within the context and parameters, meaning---it's not overdone. Why should one expand his house into a 10-bedroom place, when he's in a 2-bedroom house neighborhood? People may look up to its magnificence, but it will not be saleable, because the property demand in that area may only be 40% of the price that you may demand for your house.
House remodeling is actually fun and exciting, if the homeowners themselves really plan and talk it over. It's not just a matter of adding one room because there's a new baby or remodeling a room because the baby is now a teen, etc., but it's always more than that, homeowners may have different reasons, but they should always think that there is satisfaction and contentment after. There should be value after all the costs, that's how homeowners should regard house remodeling.
