Financial Planning in Home Renovation

When planning a home remodel or renovation, it can sometimes be difficult to estimate the cost of such a project. Many people simply hire a “design build” firm. This simply means they come in and you tell them what you want in a general sense. It then turns into their job to turn around and provide you a detailed design with all associated costs. That makes it pretty simply and the only drawback is that it typically can cost you a significant amount more than if you were to handle the “general contracting” on your own. Being your own general contractor simply means you run your entire project on your own. This includes ordering materials, supervising sub-contractors, etc.

Being your own general contractor can certainly come with its own difficulties. For instance, in a typical kitchen renovation, you may need to hire more than five to seven sub-contractors to ensure you have all your bases covered.

Number one, and we believe the most important, is your waste removal from your tear out. This is where Waste Solutions 123 comes in. We offer our large variety of dumpster roll offs ranging in size from 10 to 40 yard roll off containers. These are typically the perfect sizes for a home renovation.

Other sub-contractors you will need to hire include a cabinet maker, an electrician, a plumber, a painter, a countertop supplier, a flooring expert, and more. Some of these you could possibly tackle yourself such as the painting or the flooring, however, I strongly recommend getting a quote first. Sometimes it makes more sense to hire it out once rather than attempt it and mess up thus having to do it all over again.

We hope our tips for financial planning in home renovation have been helpful. As always, any questions can always be directed to our waste experts at Waste Solutions 123!
