Are you thinking about doing a Calgary renovation?

Undertaking a Calgary renovation can be both very exciting and daunting at the same time! As your home is usually the single biggest investment you make in your life, making sure you do a home renovation right is hugely important! The challenge is doing a renovation is not something most people are experienced in and they can be complex with many moving parts and potential pitfalls! Get it right and you will reap the rewards for many years to come, but many people make the same mistakes and this can lead to them ultimately experiencing some level of frustration with the renovation process or the end result.

Not sure where to start or how to best approach your Calgary renovation?

Well you need to have a clear understanding of all the aspects involved and what you are looking to achieve. Your goals will vary depending on if you are a young professional, family with children, retired or someone who has certain specific needs. Even if you have been through a reno before and you know construction, it is still almost impossible to know with certainty how to implement the best plan and approach every aspect of a Calgary renovation effectively.

So what does this mean practically for your project? 

Well firstly you need to know what impact the changes you are proposing will have on the area you want to renovate, but also on other areas that may be implicated around it. A good example of this is removing a wall in your main living area (as is common on many older homes). Whilst this may seem simple, there could be far reaching implications to the structure, as well as to your HVAC and plumbing systems. This could well necessitate significant structural modifications and opening up parts of your basement and main floor to now put in place proper structural support and likely comprehensive changes to your HVAC and plumbing, (which could also mean opening up further areas of your home). The costs for this can mount up very quickly and may now take you out of your comfort zone for your budget! However there may be other options and ways to mitigate this that you are not aware of.

What are the next steps you should take?

This is where relying on someone experienced who know renovations inside out pays dividends! The problem is you do not know who to trust, whether you should approach a renovation company of designer first, or how find out whether what you are planning is simple to achieve, or complex and expensive? Naturally your hesitant to engage the services of a renovation company right away (who you likely have not dealt with before), as signing a contract is a huge commitment and you want to make the right decision. Before you take this step, wouldn’t it be great to have someone who is experienced and independent to offer clear sound advice and guidance on your project? Or if you have already started the design process with a designer or contractor, wouldn't you like to know you are making the best decisions and ensuring you choose the most cost effective options?
