Living in your home during a remodel can test the patience of even the most saint-like person in the household. There’s a lot of dust, noise, debris, and overall unpleasantness to deal with as the contractors do their job. Making the decision to remodel or not is a tough one, but updating the home and repairing small issues before they turn into big ones can be beneficial in the long run. Here are some things to consider when determining if the family is ready for a remodel.
A remodel can turn the home upside down and make the idea of leaving for the duration of the work a good one. What you have to figure out is if you should stay with a family member for the time, go on a vacation, or put off the remodel for a more optimal time. This is something that the family should talk over as a unit and determine the best course of action for all involved.
Make sure the new design is what you need for your home. A remodel for a kitchen that’s 40-50 years out of date is a good idea to help with the home’s resale value and make the room reflect modern cooking needs. On the other end of the spectrum is making the decision to remodel the basement to make a man-cave/videogame/theater area, especially if you’re in an area that’s prone to flooding. Balance the desire to remodel against the reality of the work or addition you want to make in your home.
