Whether it’s a new pathway, driveway or patio for the outside of your home or whether you want to add a loft extension, get your roof repaired or replace the soffits and fascia’s on outside of your house, you need to do one thing first; budget. Many people buy a home that is what is better known as a ‘fixer-upper’ simply because it’s cheaper at the time and they can slowly improve it over the years. Others just need a new extension because they want a bigger space but don’t want to move and others again just want to make some repairs to their homes as a general maintenance policy. Whatever the reason, it is really important that you work out how much you can spend on each project before you begin it.
Setting your Goals
First things first; take a look at the list of things you need to do before you look at the list of things you want to. For instance, there’s no point in buying new carpets if the floor boards in your living room need replacing, so look at putting new floors down before you buy a new carpet. Prioritize your list to the most important, so that you know the things that are in more desperate need of repair. If you have tiles loose on your roof and there’s a chance that it will leak into your attic when it rains, then you certainly need to ‘contain’ that damage and replace the roof tiles before you consider new attic insulation or a loft extension.
Write down the priority issues that need to be dealt with quickly and then work on those first. Of course, you can do some of the work yourself if you are able to but if you need to employ a builder you should look around for a reputable firm or contractor to do the work for you. Ask about recommendations from your family or your friends and colleagues and find one you like. Always sign a contract prior to getting any work done and establish an agreed completion date and price before you put your signature on the paper.
