How to Start Your Home Renovation Step-by-Step

At Redefined Living, we understand that beginning a home renovation can be both thrilling and overwhelming. Whether you’re looking to modernize your kitchen, transform your bathroom, or give your entire home a facelift, having a clear roadmap can make all the difference. Here’s our step-by-step guide to help you navigate your renovation journey with confidence and ease!

Define Your Vision

The first step is always the hardest. Just let your imagination run wild and start by imagining the end result. What do you want your renovated space to look like? Consider the style, color scheme, and overall feel you desire. Create a vision board using images from magazines, websites, and the Redefined Living’s design moodboards. This will help you better understand your design preferences!

Set a Realistic Budget

Determine how much you’re willing (and able!) to invest in your renovation. Include costs for materials, labor, permits, and a contingency fund for unexpected expenses. At Redefined Living, we’re committed to giving you a finalized estimate for every design project.

Obtain Your Permits!

With Redefined Living, you can set your mind at ease for all permit requirements — we got you covered. Before any work begins, we carefully check local regulations to see if your project requires any permits. (Securing the necessary permits is crucial to avoid fines and ensure your renovation meets all safety standards.) Our team at Redefined Living will help guide you through this process.

Prepare Your Home

It’s time to prep your space! Clear out the rooms to be renovated and protect your belongings. Set up temporary living spaces if necessary, especially if major areas like the kitchen or bathroom are being remodeled. Don’t worry about being totally uprooted though! We’re careful to ensure minimal disruption during the renovation process.

Monitor Our Progress

Who’s the most important person in your renovation? That’s right — you! We’ll keep you involved with regular project updates, and we encourage you to regularly check in on your renovation. Attend site meetings, ask questions, and provide feedback. Your active participation can help identify and resolve any issues promptly, ensuring that your project is 100% to your satisfaction!
