Steps On How to Start a Home Renovation

Finding the right contractor

The first step in starting a home remodeling is to compile a list of licensed and licensed general contractors. Meeting with different general contractors will be one of your first duties when starting a remodeling project. Make the most of your site visits by gathering as much information as possible so that your contractor can provide an estimate for the scope of work.

A site visit with a potential contractor on your property is essential. It also takes time for both parties. As a result, contractors recommend making a phone contact first to assess compatibility and positive signals of a good fit. “I prefer to go over the broad scope and get a sense of the budget.

It is critical to find out how far a contractor’s base is from your home early on.  A two-hour commute for the contractor and crew might cause the job to progress slowly. They may also be unfamiliar with local suppliers when more materials are required. Rather than having four or five general contractors go around your property, it is better to have a really solid phone interview first.

Have a budgeting plan ready

It is useful to have a rough idea of how much money you are willing to spend. This amount must be realistic and is critical in determining how to begin a house remodeling. Online quotation generators can often offer the misleading impression about the cost of the project as well as the schedule. There are plenty more factors to consider. 

These remodeling cost guidelines for a mid-grade kitchen and bathroom are based on geography to give you an idea of the average expense. In New York City, for example, a bathroom starts at $28,000 and a kitchen starts at $37,500. A mid-level bathroom in Houston will cost around $24,500, while a kitchen will cost around $35,000.

Collect Ideas and Brainstorm

A meeting and a site visit to your property should be scheduled once you’ve narrowed down your final choice of general contractors. They don’t have to know everything about your makeover, but the more information you can provide them with, the better. Visual assistance might range from a crude drawing of what you desire to full-fledged plans put out by a designer or architect.

Images representing your style and preferences, such as cabinetry, floors, and faucets, may go a long way. Inspirational photos found on websites such as Pinterest or blogs are a fantastic place to start.

Staying at home while the remodel takes plans?

If you are not doing a complete full renovation, you may choose to stay in your house during the makeover. The sooner you make a decision, the better. T he contractor can then include into the bid if they need protective items to separate you from the project.

An appropriate quote might take anything from a few days to a few weeks to create, depending on the contractor and the scope of the job.

Romo Remodeling came highly recommended by friends who had their kitchen and bathroom remodeled. They did an amazing job. They completely gutted our 1980’s house and created a luxurious yet relaxing space for us. Jorge and his team worked with my husband and I to integrate my ideas and tastes into a design that is stunning. Karla was our project coordinator and was always available when I had design questions and helped me narrowing down options. When it came to the construction side of things, their attend to detail is incredible. Julio was our superintendent and he made sure that each aspect of the job was done exactly as specified on the drawings. Overall, Romo Remodeling was great to work with and we are extremely happy we chose them!

Romo remodeling is my go to company for all your home needs. I have referred him many times to my clients that have either needed something touched up or even a big project to build a whole second story add on to a house. They are very communicative and will give you the best solution to your home needs!

This is the fourth large remodeling project we have had Jorge and his team complete for us. And, once again, he didn’t disappoint! His eye for design is amazing! He knows taste! We love our kitchen! Love the shaker style doors on our custom cabinets. The wood tile floors are my favorite. We would highly recommend Jorge and his crew!!

Jorge and his team are amazing. They arrived on time and were very professional. He’s not the cheapest, but he does have the best quality of work. We are very happy with our kitchen and bathroom remodel. Can’t wait to use him again for our pool remodel.

Our family was looking to renovate the master and kids bathrooms, but we were unsure with what remodeling company to go with. We were looking for a very clean look with neutral beige colors and white quartz counters. Jorge and his designers made sure everything we pictured in our minds came to life and even recommended ideas to make the bathroom even more sleek. You could really tell that him and his team really know what they are doing. He kept us informed throughout the entire building process of any issues as well as updates to how everything was coming a long. Our master bathroom now looks so elegant and even the kids are loving the new look. We are so glad we we made the right decision with Romo Remodeling!

We have used this company in the past when we renovated our kitchen with brand new countertops, painted cabinets, backsplash, and flooring. His team was able to create it into a whole new space I barely recognize and we get so many compliments from our family and friends. We decided that we would contact them again when it came time to creating an additional room for our home. We will be welcoming a new baby girl within the next few months and I know we are going to be just as impressed with their work as last time. They have a reputation for their professionalism, attention to detail, and innovation so I know we can trust them with this next project for our family!

We highly recommend Jorge Romo and his crew!! They did an awesome job building a balcony addition to our house, fixing the stucco, and repainting everything. They worked fast, replied quickly when we had questions, were very detail oriented and clearly have very high standards. All in all we are very happy with both the process and the outcome and cannot praise them enough!

We hired Romo Remodeling to update our kitchen last year, they did an amazing job. So we had them come out early this year to remodel our pool and they did a great job again. Easy to work with and dependable team, we had a great experience.
