When it comes to renovations, we understand that there\u2019s a time and money commitment at stake. It\u2019s not something that is taken lightly and isn\u2019t something that should be rushed (or done amateurishly). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help guide you and help provide some insights on common renovation questions, we\u2019ve enlisted the help of Sweeten. Sweeten is a NYC-based company that connects people with top contractors to product outstanding renovation results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s some tips from their General Manager, Christine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Develop A Well-Thought Out List.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Create a \u201cmust-have\u201d and a \u201cnice-to-have\u201d list. Your “must-have\u201d list should be comprised of things you have to do — like update your electrical panel — and items you\u2019re not willing to give up; such as, a statement-making floor tile for your bath like a classic penny tile. Your \u201cnice-to-have\u201d list includes things you want, but that you would be willing to cut if necessary, to keep the budget and timeline on target. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To Replace or Reimagine? That Is The Question.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another thing to consider before you start planning your renovation is whether you want to \u201crip-and-replace” or “reimagine”. “Rip-and-Replace” w involves just changing out the cabinets\/appliances, but keeping the layout the same. “Reimagine” means rethinking the entire space and possibly knocking down walls or moving plumbing. Typically, a \u201creimagine\u201d renovation takes more time and money; you\u2019ll need to hire an architect to create plans then submit them for approval. When \u201crip-and-replace\u201d a space with new cabinets, hardware, and tiles, you don\u2019t necessarily need a design professional, but you\u2019ll want to hire a general contractor to handle demolition and installation<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find Your Renovation Soulmate.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re looking for a general contractor for your project, be sure to interview three to five. I can\u2019t emphasize enough how important it is to find someone who matches your communication and work style, but that\u2019s equally as excited about the project as you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
