Managing Your Stress During the Remodeling Process

 

Managing Your Stress During the Remodeling Process | Kingdom - DSCF1918

 

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to remodel your own home instead of watching other people do it on HGTV? While it may seem glamorous in theory, there are a lot of factors that go into remodeling your home and it can get stressful. Here are a few ways to manage your stress levels when remodeling your home!

 

Trust Your Contractor

As much as we love watching HGTV, it can leave homeowners believing they know more about the construction process than they really do. TV shows are highly edited and don’t necessarily give you an accurate representation of the full remodeling process and timeline, so be cautious when basing your expectations off of them. You hired your remodeling contractor because they are a proven professional in the industry, so try to remember this and trust them to manage your project! This will eliminate a lot of unnecessary stress from you during the course of your remodeling project.

 

Expect Things to Get Messy

No matter how clean your contractor is, there will always be construction dust in your home during a remodel. There is simply no escaping it, so don’t expect a clean home if you are living in it during the process.

 

Have Some Flexibility in Your Budget

When remodeling your home, always expect the unexpected. It is usually recommended to allow an extra 5-10% in your budget to cover any unexpected costs. Whether it is something the contractor discovered upon demolition or you end up wanting to make a design change, there is always something that doesn’t go according to plan. If you understand this from the get-go and budget accordingly, these events will cause you far less stress.

 

Be Clear About Your Timeline and Expect Project Delays

If you need your project done by a certain date, it Is extremely important to communicate this to your contractor. They will need to plan accordingly to ensure completion by the requested date. There are many factors that can cause delays in your project, such as permit applications and lead times on materials and appliances ordered. If a certain appliance or material is on back order, it can throw a wrench in your timeline. Similarly, a permit can be frustrating to obtain and may take some time. If the contractor knows you have a hard deadline for your project, he can plan accordingly and may have to change some aspects of your design in order to meet it.
