Embarking on a home remodel or home renovation in Arizona can be a daunting project, but it doesn’t need to be. Creating a budget and hiring an experienced, reputable home remodeling contractor will simplify the process and help prioritize which elements are most valuable to meeting your needs and goals. When creating your home renovation budget, you should go room by room and assess what is and isn’t working for you. This will help you make a list of specific tasks to focus on first. At Corso Construction, we have decades of experience in home remodeling in Tucson, AZ. Here are our expert tips for setting your home renovation budget.
Research and Plan
When setting a budget for a home remodel, there is a great amount of research and planning needed to ensure you avoid unexpected costs and last-minute changes. During this planning and research process, one needs to investigate:
- Permits and codes associated with your project
- Timelines for similar projects
- Referrals and recommendations for contractors and suppliers
- Renovation loans and financing
When you work with our team of home renovation contractors at Corso Construction, you don’t need to worry about all this. You can rely on the expertise of our renovation team, who bring decades of experience and knowledge in the industry. We can handle permits, create a realistic timeline for your project, fully vet any subcontractors and suppliers we’ll be using, and are well versed in local and federal codes and regulations.
Investigate Construction Costs
Labor costs make up a large percentage of the cost of a home renovation, and can be impacted by season, availability and region. However, having a licensed, insured, and bonded contractor is always worth the peace of mind they bring. At Corso Construction, we never begin work without providing a detailed estimate which includes a breakdown of the cost of your project, ensuring our work meets all your budgetary needs.
Find Out if You Need Accommodations
Some major home improvement or home renovation projects will make your home unlivable for a period of time. If that is the case for your home remodel, you will need accommodations. You should factor in the cost of a hotel or Airbnb into your final home renovation budget, if necessary. Our project managers will outline the entire timeline for your project before we even begin work. If there is any period of time where you won’t be able to stay in your home, we’ll make sure you have plenty of notice so that you can find alternate accommodations. We also will always do our best to work efficiently to minimize your downtime and inconvenience.
Consider Clean Up Costs
One of the areas homeowners overlook most often when planning a home remodel is clean-up costs. Post-construction demo and cleaning is complex and requires specific tools and equipment. You may need to rent a dumpster or a truck to store or haul away construction materials. You will need floor coverings, protective equipment, and specialty cleaning supplies. You may need to hire specialists to tackle certain elements of post-remodel cleaning. Our team at Corso Construction always includes clean up costs and clean up time in our projections and schedule. We do everything we can to make the transition back into your home as smooth and quick as possible!
