Establish the Remodeling Level that suits you

Do you know your own ideal remodeling level? It’s important to
figure out how involved of a renovation you really want to take
on long before you start! Consider your home’s condition, your
lifestyle needs, your budget, and your willingness to deal with
chaos.


Are you looking for a few bite-sized updates, a list of
semi-involved DIY overhauls, or a gut remodel that changes the
layout, reconfigures spaces and generally involves months of work
by a general contractor and you evacuating the area for the
duration?


As always, there’s a spectrum, and you’re on at somewhere.


Your preferred remodeling level is something you want to be aware
of from a very early stage in your design thinking. Once you know
how deep down the remodeling rabbit hole you plan to tunnel, you
can start to tailor the kind of inspiration you’re looking for in
the world and on the internet, the list of professionals you want
to engage with, and the budget you’re keeping.


So let’s figure out where you fit!

Level One work while you plan and prepare for more dramatic
changes in the future. In that case your remodeling level might
be either a Level Two or a Level Three update. [7:42]
