What to Expect When You're Remodeling: A Detailed Breakdown of the Home Renovation Process
Remodeling your home can feel incredibly intimidating, especially the first time you have any major work done. If you’re remodeling your home in Fort Collins or elsewhere in Northern Colorado, we can help you with every step of your project. Understanding the whole process can turn that anxiety into excitement. Here, we will walk you through each step of your home renovation, helping you embark on your home remodeling journey with confidence.
Our process kicks off with a complimentary consultation with one of our experienced interior designers. This session allows you to share your vision, goals and preferences for your spaces while they get to know your style, likes, and dislikes. For instance, if you are considering a kitchen remodel, discuss specific styles that speak to you, such as modern, farmhouse or minimalist. This initial conversation is vital for ensuring that your ideas, like including an island or open shelving, as well as functionality needs, are clearly understood.
Once you’ve had your initial consultation, the designer will schedule a visit to your home to take measurements and see your existing space in person. This step is crucial for drafting an accurate design plan. With measurements now in hand, the designer will provide three design options at three price points: good, better, and best, helping you make the best space to fit your budget. So when designing a bathroom, the “good” plan may include standard fixtures, while the “best” plan could feature upscale materials and custom cabinetry.
Now that you’ve selected your design plan, you’ll move on to making your selections, choosing materials and finishing touches. Your designer will assist you in the selection process to make sure that everything works together with your vision. This is where you get to really explore and define your style.
Once you’ve finalized your design, now the exciting part begins – executing the plan! Your designer will get the materials ordered and schedule all parts of the installation. You won’t need to worry about storing anything as we manage all of the logistics, working to get everything delivered right before it is needed. So if your new plumbing is scheduled to be installed on a Tuesday, we’ll get it there on Monday, out of your way, but available to be installed on time.
Beginning with demolition, the contractors will proceed according to the installation schedule. They will remove everything that they need to and dispose of it. This is where you start to see your ideas become reality. You might see walls beign knocked down to create your new open layout or watch as your new cabinets are installed in your kitchen. Throughout this phase, your designer remains your single point of contact and will coordinate with the contractors and ensure a smooth transformation.
Keeping Communication Open
Open communication is key in any remodeling project. Your designer will keep you informed by giving you regular updates and keeping you up to speed on the progress. They will also inform you of any changes that need to be made or any unexpected hiccups that may occur. By keeping you continuously in the loop, it gives you the space to address any questions or concerns quickly.
This approach to managing your remodel simplifies the entire process, meaning that you don’t need to worry about hiring separate contractors for different parts of the remodel or having to do any of your own scheduling or project management. With decades of industry experience, we can make sure that every detail is executed as planned.
Now that the installation is complete, your designer will oversee the final touches. This final phase involves adding personal details that will make your space uniquely yours. They can help you select the right lighting, decorative pillows, artwork, and furniture. You’ll watch your dream space unfold before your very eyes as we add those final pieces.
Finally, the moment you’ve been waiting for arrives – the reveal. This is the climax of your remodeling journey, where you see the transformed space in its entirety for the first time. It’s exhilarating to walk into your new space, and experience filled with pride and joy as you see the end results after weeks of waiting.
Understanding the complete remodeling process can turn what feels daunting into a simple and enjoyable project. By breaking it down into manageable phases and relying on the expertise of our team, you can look forward to a smooth and exciting experience. By following the process, you can know that you’re creating a space that reflects your personal style and enhances your daily life.
