As someone with experience renovating two homes, I strongly recommend avoiding full-service renovation companies. Instead, opt for DIY or semi-package options where you supply the materials while the company handles design and labor.<\/p>\n
The biggest issue in renovations is material costs. With full-package services, material expenses can easily double, whether you use personal contacts or professional agencies.<\/p>\n
For material selection, it’s best to visit building material markets to inspect quality firsthand or shop online for better affordability and convenience.<\/p>\n
Completely DIY renovation is simpler than expected. When hiring the first tradesperson, such as an electrician, leverage their network to get referrals for other needed roles like painters and carpenters.<\/p>\n
Renovation companies often set fixed timelines, but work isn’t continuous. By managing hires yourself, you can control the schedule, saving 30-40% of the time and completing your dream home faster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
