Important Things to know about Home Improvement services

Home Improvement Services

Home improvement services go way back to the 1st century BC era, where a wealthy man by name Sergius Orata introduced the underlying heating system called the hypocaust throughout the villas of the wealthy in his area. Home refurbishments increase the quality of living and also increase the resale value of a home. In South London, the average cost of house extension is around £1,500.  

Adding an additional bathroom can cost anywhere between five to ten grand. The first thing to consider is the budget or the exact cost you are willing to shell out for the renovation. Speak to a couple of contractors and home renovation companies to get a quote. Most of them agree for a free, no-obligation survey of the site. Having the original blueprints of your house will save you both time and money.

Do your homework. Ensuring you have your decisions already made on what colours, finishes, tiles and materials to use, will save you and the contractor a lot of time. Make sure a designated project manager is assigned to you. This will smoothen out communication and the work will flow with ease. Remove expensive or delicate items from the site of work. This helps in allowing the crew to organise their equipment without unintentionally damaging your stuff. Use plastic sheeting to prevent dust accumulation. Create a staging area for the materials to be kept and stored. 

A garage can be a great option, for those who don’t have one, usually hire a temporary space for storing and protecting the materials.  Pre-plan where you will be cooking your meals for the next few days in case you are remodelling the kitchen. Having an electric stove comes really handy in this situation. Ensure your alternate bathroom is fully functional in case you are renovating your primary bathroom.

Remodelling your home makes it a construction zone. Keep your neighbours informed and decide on an alternate schedule for your day. As per the drawn contract, make sure the dates of delivery are being met. A few days here and there can be adjusted but do not accept unreasonable delays in completion. Lastly, once the project is handed over to you, make sure you schedule a final walk around to check if all points agreed upon for the project are completed. 

Once your home is renovated, it will still take a few more days to get life back to normal. Cleaning out the dust from everywhere will be a slight challenge. But a renovated home is not just great as a vanity project, but also greatly improves the resale value of your home in case ever needed.
