How To
Are you renovating the exterior or interior first?
Which should I choose first?
There are many factors that you should consider when choosing the right project. The most common factor when choosing a project is whether it is old or newly built. The condition of the roof, windows and doors, flooring, wiring, and other aspects are all important. The location, style, number of rooms and size of a new building are all important aspects.
The roof should be the first thing you look at if the building's age is a concern. You might consider starting the renovation immediately if the roof appears to be in danger. You can proceed to the next step if the roof is in good condition. Next, take a look at the windows. The windows should be inspected for damage or dirt before you do anything else. You can then go through your doors and clean them. You can now begin to install the flooring if everything looks fine. Make sure that the flooring is solid and sturdy so that no matter how hard you walk on it, nothing breaks. Now you can start to add the walls. Take a look at the walls to see if any cracks or damage are present. If the wall is in good condition, you can move on to the next step. You can now inspect the ceiling. It is important to inspect the ceiling and ensure it is strong enough for any weight you may place on it. If everything checks out, then you can move forward with your renovation.
If your building was constructed recently, you might want to look at the exterior. First, examine the outside of the house. Is it well maintained? Is there any cracks? Does it look good? If the exterior looks bad, it's time to make improvements. Your home shouldn't look shabby. Next, check the foundation. If the foundation looks weak, then you should repair it. Also, make sure to inspect the driveway. It should be smooth and flat. If it isn’t then it is time to repair it. Also check the sidewalk when you are checking the driveway. If it's uneven, then you should probably replace it.
Once you have completed these inspections, you can now move on inside the house. Look at the kitchen first. Are you satisfied with the cleanliness and maintenance of your kitchen? You should clean up any mess. Next, examine the appliances. You should make sure that they are in working order and in good condition. If they aren’t in great shape, then either you buy new ones or replace them. Next, inspect the cabinets. You should paint them if they are damaged or stained. If they are in good order, you can move onto the bathroom. Check the toilet in here. If the toilet is leaking, you will need to replace it. If the item is only dirty, you can wash it. Next, check out all the fixtures. You should make sure they are clean. If they are filthy, clean them immediately. Finally, make sure to inspect the countertops. If they are chipped or cracked, then you should probably repaint them. If they are smooth and shiny you can use a sealant.
Last, check the furniture. Verify that everything is in good condition. You should find what is missing if it is not there. You should repair anything that is damaged. After you've checked everything, it is possible to move outside and complete the job.
