This site provides you with useful information and advice on
renovation, a helpful memory guide to share!
When you consider undertaking either a
home renovation or a new construction, the procedures
to follow in order to successfully realize your project are essentially
both the same. Renovating a house must be planned,
organized, budgeted, and supervised in a methodical fashion. Improvisation
should definitely be avoided. Evaluate and clearly define your future needs.
For example, consider the following scenarios: the arrival of
a newborn, adolescents leaving home, a new home office etc. In
the case of a major renovation such as constructing a new wing,
you should factor a cost of $110 to $130 per sq. ft., excluding
site preparation.
Should
you opt for a new kitchen? If so, anticipate a cost of $8,000
to $15,000, without special extras. An alternative plan is an
update home renovation that generally includes
new kitchen counters, cabinet doors and drawers, handles, and
adding receding lights and new molding. The average cost: $3,000
to $5,000. A complete remake with new cabinets, an island, flooring,
lighting, faucets and plumbing, ventilation, plaster and painting,
and ceramic murals increases the cost between $20,000 and $25,000,
excluding appliances. .
In order to determine the renovation budget for
your home, calculate the total cost and
ensure that it does not exceed 20% to 25% of the value of your
home. Above this amount, it would be difficult to obtain a return
on your investment. For a sound return, consider renovating
the kitchen, doors, windows, bathroom,
basement (finish), exterior siding, as well as the roof, all recognized
to be wise choices.

and generally flat with a slight incline to permit the evacuation
of rainwater.
