How to Weigh Your Options
Renovators Place Columnist
Oct 08, 2009
You’re thinking about remodeling, but have reservations.
Maybe you’ve heard horror stories or are uneasy about living through the mess.
What should you consider before making the decision?
Start by asking yourself a few questions:
·
Why do you want to remodel? Are you
looking for more space? A more efficient floor plan? Modern plumbing and
wiring?
·
What are your priorities? Do you
want a state-of-the-art kitchen with all the bells and whistles? (Visit our Ultimate Kitchen and Selections
sections.) A bigger bathroom with lots of tumbled marble? (Visit our Ultimate Bathroom section.) A
patio or deck for outdoor dining? (See our Outdoor Living section.)
·
What is your financial picture? Do you
have savings set aside for the work? Are you planning to finance the project?
How much can you afford to spend? (Visit
our Financing section within Home Renovation.)
·
How long do you plan to stay in your
house?
·
Are you willing to make some short term sacrifices
to achieve long term goals?
