3 Decisions to Make Before a Remodel

Deciding to remodel a room in your home is the easy part. Everything else that follows can be stressful if you don’t have the right general contractors on your side. However, the team at Centennial Construction & Remodeling Services, Inc. can make this new home project feel less like a chore. We’ll walk you through the entire process, from beginning to end, and will communicate openly along the way. Still, there are some things you need to decide before we begin that will help keep your project on track.

1. Flooring

It’s exciting to pick out new paint, countertops, appliances, and décor. You have a vision of what you want your new kitchen, bathroom, or basement to look like, and we’re here to make it happen. That’s why we encourage you to pick out your flooring well before we begin knocking out walls and rearranging your home. Flooring is one of the last things that gets installed, but it’s one of the easiest to pick out. When you order flooring well in advance of project completion, it guarantees you don’t go over budget with other things, and that all the materials are ready to go without delay.  

2. Window Coverings

When it comes to your windows treatments, it can be tempting to wait until the end to pick them out. However, you can’t go wrong when you choose blinds, curtains, shutters, or shades before we begin remodeling. If you have a strict budget, then we highly recommend you bump window coverings up on the list, so that you’re not left with pennies and bare windows once your project is complete. Not only is that a home security risk, but it can also leave you feeling like your remodel is incomplete. 

3. Skirting & Trim

As we walk through the design process, we’ll gather as much detail from you as we can. If you have a specific image in mind of what you want your finished room to look like, we need to know. This includes the finer details like wall skirting and trim. Whether you’re looking for an elegant crown molding or have specific wall skirting in mind, make that known early on. Picking this feature out before we start your remodel is critical, and it ensures that we give you the walls and finished room you had pictured.
