HomeRestoration: Recommendations for Beginners
Renovating your flat is never easy, especially if it's the first time you are doing this. That's why, in this particular article, we are going to give you some recommendations on what to do when planning to renovate your home.
So, when you start to renovate your home, you must follow some basic steps in a certain order:
First check the wiring and, if necessary, change it
Most of the times, condos in older buildings have very few electrical outlets, so this would be the best time to fix that. As a result, our recommendation is to have the electrician put in more outlets. If necessary, you should also contact a plumber and have the water pipes changed.
If the walls are brick and you need suspended furniture, our advice for you is to mount plugs just before painting.
If you smoke in the house, avoid white-colored walls. You can try darker shades, like gray. Unlike shades of yellow or beige, or blue/ green, on which tobacco is very visible, ash is neutral enough to be suitable for kitchens where people smoke constantly.
When it comes to the floor, it needs to be picked with a lot of care.You might want white, but it's not always a great idea. It's better if you pick a neutral colour, because if the floor is too dark or too light, you will see every speck of dust. As a result, a "middle" color would be preferred.
Work with a good contractor. Unless you have a ton of free time and past restoration experience, it's always a good idea to work with a specialist to take care of the job for you. There are a lot of service providers in that field, so it isn't so difficult to find a list with potential contractors. As an example, if you stay in the Calgary area, all you must do is to make a basic online search and type in "renovation calgary". Nonetheless, the trick is to shorten the list by going to their internet site and checking if they have enough experience in the field, lists with recent projects and all the licences and permits they may need. Next, you can go on Yelp or other similar sites and see if a particular company has a good feedback score. Another useful tool you can use when trying to find a great contractor is the Better Business Bureau Internet site, where you can find relevant information about a particular company, along with feedback from past customers.
