With a new year comes some new resolutions. If yours is to renovate your home, here are 5 things to consider before taking the plunge:

1) Avoid Cheap Materials

You get what you pay for, and the last thing you want to do is buy cheap materials for the home you love.

2) Go in With A Plan

Going into a renovation blind is a recipe for disaster. Start with a plan, otherwise your renovation might take twice the work at twice the cost.

3) Use the Right Tools

Using the wrong tool isn’t just a setback – it can be dangerous. Make sure you’re using the right tool for the job and as intended.

4) Check What Paints You Are Using

Using the wrong type of paint can make even the best colors look off.

5) Budget Appropriately

Renovations can be costly, and under-budgeting is one of the most common mistakes. Pad your budget in case there’s a nasty surprise behind the wall you just tore down.
