In our last blog, Home Renovations in Edmonton 101: Why Home Renovations Are Important, we highlighted the importance of home renovations and how they can significantly improve your lifestyle. In this blog, we’ll explore how to properly renovate your home to gain the most value for your money.
1. Work With a Professional
If you have the knowledge, tools and time to make the change in your home, then by all means, do so! With many videos of DIY projects online, you can get minor changes in your home done in a matter of weeks or months. That said, not all renovations can be DIY projects, especially ones requiring permits. For example, when making certain changes to your electric or plumbing work, you will need to acquire the correct permits before you take on the job, which is why you need to work with a professional when making significant renovations in your home.
When hiring professional contractors like Peak Improvements, you will work with a team of construction professionals and in-house design experts with years of experience and knowledge in tackling home renovations in Edmonton. Our proven six-stage process ensures that we are 100% transparent with our clients to eliminate any confusion or surprises along the way.
2. Identify Your End Goal
Before making any changes to your home, think about your end goal. Are you looking to improve your home’s value? Increase space for a growing family? Or maybe you’re thinking about aging in place and adding accessibility features in your home for the future. Envisioning how you want your home to look will help with choosing materials, designing the process and planning a budget.
3. Make Investments According To Your Needs
An important question to ask yourself before a renovation is how long you plan to live in the same house. For instance, if you’re planning on living in your current house for 20 years, your home renovation plan should be different than if you’re moving out after five years.
At Peak Improvements, we aim to make sure that any project we work on is financially suitable for homeowners, so if you’re moving out in a few years, our team will suggest changes that will enhance your lifestyle and increase your property value without overspending on unnecessary changes. On the other hand, if you’re looking to age in place, our experts can provide you with various options to increase accessibility and ensure that your home is prepared for whatever the future holds. Homeowners will work with our interior designers (not interior decorators) to ensure that any changes made fit their lifestyles, function properly, suit their needs and fall within their budget.
