What You Should Know Before Starting a Home Remodel or Home Addition

When you are ready to do a remodel or addition to your home, the first thing you need to do is decide on your budget. It doesn’t matter if your project is small or large; you need to determine how much you can afford for the project. Of course if funds are unlimited then this is unimportant.

Small Projects

The next thing to do if it is a small project is to find a reputable subcontractor or general contractor who can perform the work competently. Subcontractors are typically licensed for one trade, for example, say you have an electrical project you would hire an electrical subcontractor.

Great Ways to Save Money on Electricity in Your Home or Office

Lights

Try opening up your curtains in your home instead of turning on lights, try to use daylight for your general tasks around your home as much as possible. When you are not in a room get in the habit of turning off the lights when you leave no matter how short or long the period of time being out of the room is. When you are not home make sure all the lights in your home are off. Also try getting a small area light for work or reading at night. I know this seems so simple but it really does reduce your electric bill if you start doing it every day.

DIY vs. Getting a Professional Contractor:

DIY (do it yourself) home improvement projects have become very popular over the last 10 years or so and that is great! For certain projects DIY can be rewarding if you know what you are doing and have the correct tools to get the job done right. But real quick before you get going on a DIY home improvement project take a look and ask yourself these questions:
