Our 5 Tips for Remodeling Your Home. Define Your Project Correctly

When we decide to carry out renovation work, the issues and projects are always tailor-made. Enlarging a room, adding a bedroom, redoing a dilapidated kitchen or even insulating an entire home are all specific renovation projects requiring their budget and organization. This is why it is strongly recommended to clearly define the objectives of the renovation work to be planned. Is this a home staging mission to improve the property before selling it? A refresh of the living rooms to give a facelift to your home? Or a complete renovation of a thermal strainer for which all the insulation and decoration have to be redone? The nature of the renovation work on your house will be decisive on the budget, the time allocated, and the assistance to be provided. Categorize each of the work items to be carried out to organize financing and site monitoring.

Carry Out Work According To Your Budget

The budget is the crux of the matter when renovating real estate, especially a house. Depending on your budget, distribute the costs according to the items to be planned and their costs. Some may be revised downwards, while others will necessarily require significant expenditure, such as the price of an energy renovation, for example. Painting or flooring installation work can benefit from a wide choice of materials available on the market, allowing you to reduce expenses on this item. Among other things, the installation of double glazing will take priority over the installation of new paint in a room.

Don’t Forget Loans And Renovation Aid

To finance expensive renovation work, numerous financing aids are available, depending on the nature of the work, the type of housing and the standard of living of the owner. One thing is certain: reducing the number of thermal strainers in France is one of the priorities of the Minister of Housing, who does not skimp on renovation aid to encourage owners to take the plunge. Thus, overall renovation work can be partly financed using MaPrimeRenov ‘ (subject to income conditions), particularly if the objective is to improve the energy consumption of a home. The zero-rate Eco-loan or the CEE bonus can also help finance renovation work depending on the eligibility of the applicant.

Be Supported and Choose The Right Craftsmen

To successfully renovate a house and avoid stress and difficulties, surrounding yourself with trusted professionals in the building sector is essential. Architects, decorators and artisans must be chosen carefully. Time will need to be spent searching for qualified artisans and studying different quotes. For certain works, the presence of an architect is mandatory, such as for the construction of an extension or transformation of a building. Check the companies’ guarantees and ten-year insurance before making your choice. Depending on the nature of the work requested from the company, you must carefully check that the ten-year guarantee is up to date for the activity for which you are going to request it. The ten-year guarantee is not the same for a plumber, an electrician or a tiler; be careful on this point. Finally, checking the reputation of a company on the Internet or through those around you is a plus to ensure the reliability of the artisans.

Do Not Neglect Site Monitoring

Despite the trust placed in professionals for renovation work, it is preferable to keep an eye on the progress of the site. Do not hesitate to check in regularly with your artisans to check the conformity of the different stages in the work progress process. An error or an oversight can quickly happen and can cause the work to slow down.…
