Home Renovation Advice

• Double-check references - Home renovations cost a lot of money so make sure you ask potential renovation companies for references so you can check their work and see what other people are saying about them. Kandua Pros have online reviews that you can read before you hire anyone.
• Get council permission - the city council has a lot of rule and regulations that need to be adhered to so before you start breaking ground or pick up a hammer, make sure you have the necessary building approvals for your home renovation.
• Communicate your ideas - to help make sure your home renovations look exactly the way you want, you need to do your research. Find inspiration and ideas online and communicate your ideas and visions effectively with your team.
• Assess your budget - when setting your renovation budget, be realistic about what you can afford to spend. Before you make any big decisions, make sure you get multiple quotes from renovators to help you stay on track and within your budget.
• Plan for the unplanned - when it comes to home renovations, there are always hidden costs and unexpected expenses waiting in the wings. Whether it be delays in the renovation, running out of materials or having to account for unforeseen problems like mould, permission problems etc.
• Create a timeline - before you start renovating, decide on a realistic timeline in which to complete the renovations. It’s common knowledge that renovations take longer than anticipated so plan accordingly. When building the timeline, make sure you think about what jobs need to be done first to avoid any unnecessary delays. For example, you wouldn’t want to retile the bathroom before you install the shower or bath.
