Hello World! Welcome Friends! Whether you just moved into your dream fixer upper or you want to start getting into home renovation as a hobby, you have come to the right place! Renovating homes can be an extremely lucrative business if you take your time and do it right, especially if you are aware and up-to-date on current home trends. If you love to get down and dirty and have a strong imagination, home renovation is the perfect hobby for you, whether it’s your own home or someone else’s.
Start Small
The key to home renovation is starting small. Do you have a small bathroom that needs updating or a couple of rooms that just need a paint job? If so, you should start with those, especially if you are new to home renovation. Before taking on something super ambitious such as an entire gutting of your kitchen or knocking down walls, you should do your best to complete a small project. This way, you can assess your skills and motivation so you know what to expect when embarking on longer and more intense projects.
Do Maintenance
The best way to start home renovation is by getting all of your boring house chores done. Check all of your fire alarm batteries, change your lightbulbs, clean your chimney, and do a deep clean of your entire house. Don’t let your ambition of home renovation stop you from getting your important chores done, especially if you plan to embark on long and tedious renovation projects. Getting all of your small chores done will help you feel a lot more accomplished and allow you to have some order in your life once your home renovation gets chaotic.
Do Your Research
The key to a successful home renovation is research. Sure, this might be extremely tedious and boring, but if you’re truly passionate about home renovation, then you will want to get your projects done efficiently and with as much background information as possible. You want to make sure that you aren’t going to break down load-bearing walls, bust pipes, or accidentally ruin your home’s foundation. Getting your research done will help you learn tips and tricks to become a more efficient home renovator and can allow you to have a professional looking home for a fraction of the cost.
If you are thinking of doing home renovation long-term as your career, it may be in your best interest to go to architecture school, especially if you want to do lots of adding on or change the structures of your home. Getting a better understanding of architecture can also help you save a lot of money and avoid hiring expensive contractors. Although schooling may be a big commitment, you will learn helpful information that will aid you in becoming a better home renovator.
Get a Partner
Home renovation can take an extremely long time, especially if you are doing it by yourself. Before you embark on your home renovation journey, you should first consider enlisting some sort of help to allow you to complete your projects faster. Maybe you have a parent who has some extra free time, a partner who is looking to help you move into your dream home, or a friend who would love to help out with your home renovation in exchange for some spare cash or a renovation of their own. Regardless, house renovation can be a lot for one person and you should do your best to find some additional help to make the project go by faster.
Take Your Time
The most important part of home renovation is to take your time while also managing to be efficient, especially if you are new to the renovating world. As aforementioned, small projects will help you learn the ropes of home renovation and allow you to feel more comfortable in the space that you are working in. In addition to this, by managing to complete your small tasks efficiently, you will knock off many projects on your to-do list which will allow you to feel less daunted by the big projects. Taking your time to do the large projects allows you to complete your best work and be completely satisfied with the end product.
Overall, embarking on a home renovation journey can be both exciting and nerve-wracking, so you should do your best to make the process as easy as possible. You should start out with small projects and take your time, allowing yourself to do continuous research if it is necessary. In addition to this, you should do your best to enlist a partner to help as well as complete maintenance tasks to make your fixer-upper feel more life home. Completing your home renovation can take time, but once it’s completed, you will have an amazing home to share with others and will be able to say that you completed it all yourself.
