How To
Do you want to renovate your interior or exterior first.
Which one should I do first?
There are many factors that you should consider when choosing the right project. Most people consider whether the building is new or old. You should consider the condition and age of the roof, windows, doors, flooring, electric system, etc. You should also consider the design, location, size, number and style of the building.
If the building has an older roof, it is worth looking at the roof first. You should start the renovation if you feel the roof is at risk of falling apart. Next, you can check if your roof is okay. Next, check out the windows. Next, inspect the windows and make sure they are clean. After that, you can go through all the doors to make sure they are clear of any debris. Next, check that everything seems to be in order before you begin work on the floors. You want to make sure the flooring is sturdy and solid so it doesn't break no matter how much you walk on it. These steps will be completed before you can proceed to the walls. Take a look at the walls to see if any cracks or damage are present. If the wall is fine, then you should proceed to the next step. The ceiling can be finished after the walls have been examined. You should inspect the ceiling to ensure that it can withstand any weight you put on it. Once everything is in order, you can proceed with your renovation.
You would want to begin with the exterior if the building was recently built. Take a look at the outside of your house. Is it clean? Is it free from cracks? Is it in good condition? You should fix any exterior problems. You don't want your home to look poor. Next, make sure to check the foundation. Repairing the foundation is a good idea if it appears weak. Also, inspect your driveway. It should be level and smooth. If it isn't, then you should probably fix it. The sidewalk should be checked as well when you inspect the driveway. If the sidewalk is uneven, it should be replaced.
Once you have completed these inspections, you can now move on inside the house. Look at the kitchen first. Is it clean and well-maintained? You should clean up any mess. Next, make sure to inspect the appliances. They should be in good shape and working properly. If they aren’t, you need to either get new ones or fix them. The cabinets should be inspected after that. If they are stained or scratched, then you should probably paint them. You can then move on to the bathroom if they are in good condition. You should inspect the toilet here. If it leaks, it is time to get a new one. You can wash it if it is just dirty. Next, inspect all fixtures. Make sure that they are clean. If they are filthy, clean them immediately. Finally, you should inspect the countertops. You should repaint countertops that are cracked or chipped. If they are smooth and shiny you can use a sealant.
Last, check the furniture. Verify that the furniture is not damaged or missing. If you find something missing, it's best to fix it. It is best to repair any broken items. Once everything is checked, then you can move back outside and finish the job.
