Thinking About a Home Remodel? Here’s Where to Start

Begin by carefully considering what you think you want and how you can get it. Weigh your wish list against what you’ll probably pay to fulfill it.

Planning a Home Remodel

If you’re adding new rooms, making substantial changes to the existing floor plan, or dealing with complex structural or functional questions, you’ll need to hire professional design help. There are several design options and combinations of options.

How to Check Out Contractors

Some homeowners leave contractor vetting and selection to their architects or house designers, but most make the call themselves, and rightly so: It’s the most important step.

Getting Prices and Proposals for Remodeling Work

Checkbook’s undercover shoppers asked contractors to bid on three different projects. Company-to-company price differences were striking. For the largest of the jobs, quotes ranged from $190,000 to $321,000—a difference of more than $130,000.

What a Contract for Remodeling Work Should Include

Once you’ve picked a contractor, have it prepare a written contract. It should include the following information for medium-sized and major projects; but even if your project is small, many of these points also apply.

Your Role During a Remodel

You can do a lot to help the job run smoothly, finish on time, and produce the best possible results.

Should You Buy Products Yourself for a Remodel?

You can use our advice and price ratings to pay less—often a lot less—for appliances, fixtures, flooring, plantings, and many other products that you can buy on your own, rather than having your contractor buy them for you. But should you?

How to Judge Remodeling Work

As your job progresses, look for these signs of quality.

Financing Options for Remodeling Work

You have several options to pay for your project. Cash certainly is the easiest: no applications, no forms, no appraisals, no debt, no interest. However, many homeowners borrow to cover large remodeling jobs.
