Are you hoping to update your home this year? It’s pretty common knowledge that remodeling is more popular than ever right now. In the wake of the pandemic, homeowners are ready to update their spaces and make them work for them like never before.
If you’re in the beginning stages of planning a remodel and feeling overwhelmed, we would love to offer some expert advice. The wild current building and remodeling markets aren’t for the faint of heart, but they’re not impossible to navigate!
Plan Ahead
Our greatest piece of advice for anyone considering a remodel in the coming year is to plan ahead. All good things take time. Quality, professional, experienced companies are worth the investment, which may result in a slightly longer wait.
Good Design Takes Time
Any major remodel or addition requires careful planning, and a reputable designer or contractor isn’t going to rush the process. From drawing up designs to making selections, creating something beautiful takes time – that will always be true, pandemic or not.
Set Yourself Up for Success
The impact of COVID-19 has increased lead times for some materials, and suppliers are doing their best to catch up. Rest assured, everyone else embarking on a remodel in the coming year will be facing the same challenges!
However, you can set yourself up for success by doing your research, making plans as soon as possible, setting realistic expectations, and working with a trustworthy company that will be upfront with you about the process.
