What to Expect When Renovating Your Home

Are you planning to renovate your kitchen, remodel your bathroom or add a new office to your home in Stateline, NV? If so, you are probably excited. But at the same time, you may be confused about what to expect during your home renovations.

Every renovation project is different, and the amount of disruption depends on the size and scope of the work. But whether you want to change the interior design, HVAC, roofing, or other elements, there are some common things that you can expect. Read on for more information about several typical home renovation projects and what to expect.

Kitchen Remodeling

You may be planning to sell your home in the near future, so you want to make sure that you get the most return on investment. You could install new flooring, change the interior design, incorporate energy-efficient appliances, and add a kitchen island. No matter what you have in mind, a kitchen remodel is a major undertaking. Still, it doesn’t have to be a major disruption. With proper planning, you can minimize the disruption and still end up with the kitchen of your dreams.

Having a proper timeline and a well-thought-through budget is crucial for a successful kitchen remodel. Make sure to factor in the cost of materials, labor, permits, and any other unexpected costs. One thing to keep in mind is that while kitchen remodels are a popular project, they often only deliver around 70-80% of return on investment when you sell your home.

Home Office Designing

According to the American Opportunity Survey, 35% of employees in America work from home full time, while 58% work from home at least one day a week. As more and more people work from home, the need for dedicated home office space is increasing.

If you’re planning to design a home office, first, you will need to have a dedicated space for your office. This means setting up a separate room or area in your home just for work. You’ll also need to make sure that your office is set up in a way that promotes productivity. This means having a comfortable chair, a desk with enough space to spread out, and good lighting. You should also think about storage options for your office. This may include shelves, filing cabinets, or even a simple storage box.

Protect Your Home by Getting a Home Warranty

No matter what home renovation project you choose, you should consider getting a home warranty to protect your home both during and after the renovations. A home warranty is an insurance policy that covers the repair or replacement of major home systems, such as heating, cooling, electrical, and plumbing, along with appliance repairs. This can be a lifesaver if anything goes wrong. Don’t forget to shop around to find a home warranty company with services in line with your specific needs and budget. Look to trusted sources online if you’re looking for home warranty reviews.
