First Time Home Remodeling FAQs | UlsterHappening.com

With the popularity of home improvement shows and the variety of DIY projects on Pinterest, many home owners are taking remodeling into their own hands. If you bought a fixer upper, or simply just want to put your own touches on your home, remodeling can become a HUGE undertaking.

Before you start breaking through walls, ask yourself the following questions:

? How do I plan my home remodel? Prioritize your projects. If you entertain regularly, and you don?t have a functional kitchen and entertaining space, that project would take priority over your bedroom remodel. Collect pages from magazines and start a Pinterest board for your inspiration.

? How do I pay for my home remodel? The most common ways home owners finance their remodeling projects is through home improvement loans, home equity lines of credit, home equity loans, or refinancing. Make an appointment with your lender to discuss which option is best for you.

? How do I know if I need permits? Building permits are required for major renovations to the structure of your home, such as removing a wall or putting up an addition. Permit requirements vary depending on the region, so contact your municipal housing authority.

? How do I find a professional contractor? Do your homework. Ask family and friends for recommendations; check the Hudson Valley Builders Association for contractors who work in Ulster; read reviews extensively and ask for references. Depending on the project, you may need one contractor to install your energy efficient windows, and another to replace your flooring.

Professional home remodelers offer you labor and materials, but more importantly, years of experience and an understanding of legal regulations. If remodeling your home is a task you cannot take on alone, call the experts at Power Home Remodeling Group at 888.REMODEL to find a professional home remodeler in Ulster.
