Avoid these 5 home remodeling regrets - Shreveport Times
Almost anyone who has remodeled their home has a list of regrets if they could do it all over again. According to Houzz.com, one of the biggest lessons people learned from the remodeling process is that they should have planned more. Additional planning would have shortened the duration of the remodel and saved them money. The majority of people who have gone through a renovation regret doing any of the work themselves. Trying to DIY plumbing and tiling jobs that should be left to the professionals just costs more time and money in the redo. Finally, looking back, people really regret not choosing certain items that they really wanted. If you have to live with the flooring and counter tops for at least ten years, you should love your choices.
Key Takeaways:
- Make a list of what you want and what you don't want as the end result of any project.
- Hire a professional to steer project decisions towards your requirements and requests.
- Home Remodeling is a long-term investment and if you treat it as such you can enjoy it best!
