DEVELOPING HOME REMODELING TIMELINE AND BUDGET

Most people have no idea how much to spend and what things to consider when they decide to go for a home remodel. And quite frankly, that’s completely normal. But you probably don’t want to spend more money than you can afford, and the best way to stay on your budget is to plan in advance. Make yourself a general timeline and an approximate budget that you think is appropriate for your remodeling project.

Here’s everything you need to consider while making your timeline:

Planning

Planning beforehand makes the process a lot smoother and you should give it at least a month before starting off. Make a list of things that you want to get done on an immediate basis and things that can be put off for a later time.

Visit different subcontractors to get an understanding of the budget you should have and make sure to get any plans and permits before you dive into the project.

Electrical and Plumbing

You want to look into the rough-ins before taking care of things like drywall, paint, and flooring. This way you won’t damage anything if there are any rewiring or plumbing repairs pending.

Your subcontractor will need a schematic of your bath and kitchen plans so they know what the end goal of your remodeling project is. They can also help you choose the right materials for a particular space and room. This should take around 4–5 days.

Framing, Drywall, and Paint

The same subcontractor can do both, framing and drywall, or you can get a different one to do each task. Once this is done, your walls are ready for embellishments like paint.

Make sure that anything you don’t want paint on is covered well. A period of 15 days should be good for these tasks.

Cabinets, Doors, and Windows

The house is now ready for your new cabinets and fixtures—get the cabinets installed and choose countertops to go with them, and then have the electrical and plumbing fixtures added in the appropriate spots. This is followed by the installation of any new doors and windows that you’ll want in place before you start with the carpeting. This will take around another 2 weeks.

Cleaning of Vents and Flooring

Construction work leaves a lot of dirt in the vents, so make sure you get rid of all the dust and debris that’s accumulated in your vents. This won’t take more than a day or two, and once the vents have been cleaned and all debris is removed, you can go ahead with flooring.

If you’re cutting any parts of the floor, make sure you cover the vents or you may have to get them cleaned again. Flooring will take 7–8 days.

A Rough Estimate for Your Budget

Here is what the breakdown of your budget should look like:

New appliances: $7000–8000

Electrical: $3000–4000

Plumbing: $5000–6000

Bathroom accessories: $150–200

Drywall materials and labor: $4000-5–5000

Doors and windows: $17,000–18,000

Paint: $800–950

Tiles and labor: $800–900

Carpeting: $1500–2000

Cabinets (kitchen and 2–3 bathrooms): $14,000–15,000

Cabinet hardware: $700–800

Concrete countertops: $6000–7000

This is only a rough estimate of how much you may have to spend. Your actual budget can be lesser or higher than the mentioned figures; and may also include additional expenses pertaining to supplies, masonry, air duct, etc.

Having a remodel budget and timeline will help you stay on track of the project and will keep you from deviating much from your budget. Consider everything that you want to remodel and plan accordingly.

WHAT ARE ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND WHAT ARE THEIR BENEFITS?

An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a relatively smaller building within the premises of a property where the original house has been built. It can be in the form of a basement apartment, a small dwelling in the backyard or an apartment built over the garage.

Legally, it’s a part of the same property and cannot be traded separately. According to reports, ADUs are becoming very popular in the US and residents across the country are building ADUs within the premises of their homes. Once disfavored, ADUs are now considered to be the solution to many housing problems. Let’s see what the benefits of having an ADU are.

ADU as a Home Office

Work-From-Home can become arduous with the presence of kids and feeling like you’re behind on chores. An ADU can be set up as an office, away from the noise and distractions of your immediate living space.

ADU as a Source of Income

If you’re short on cash, an ADU can be a solution. You can rent out your ADU for extra cash; or you may move into the ADU yourself and rent out your main house for a higher rent. This is by far the most common benefit of ADUs across the country. If you have extra space on your property, why not use it to earn some extra income!

ADU for Elderly Family Members

If you have senior loved ones that want to live independently and wish to be close to you and your children, an ADU can be the perfect space for them. Privacy and good company are both ensured this way.

ADU as an Investment Strategy

Since it provides extra utility, ADUs tend to increase the value of a property. In fact, many homeowners are investing in ADUs so that when the time comes and they have to resell their property, it can produce a greater return.

Sustainability

Building ADUs requires lesser resources and provides greater utility. ADU construction is considered as a green construction method as it results in lesser construction waste. Thus, it helps in maintaining sustainable construction practices.
