House Renovations Timeline

House Renovations Timeline

A house renovations timeline should begin with design and planning. You should make sure you have adequate funding for the renovations, write up a simple list of DIY projects you want to do, and then look for contractors who can do the harder jobs you don't want to do yourself.

Apply for all necessary permits after this planning step is complete. When prioritizing renovation work, your first area of focus should be on the roof, foundation, siding and windows. This ensures that the house will be free of major structural problems and remain protected. You should make sure the foundation is secure and that any major repairs to walls, carrying beams and joists are done first. The next step is to replace or repair the roof, and replace windows which are seriously damaged.
