What are the initial steps in a home remodeling project?

The first step is to determine what is wanted vs. needed. This is important when trying to budget your finances. Secondly establish a budget and stick to it. Once you have determined how much you can afford, try to plan on spending 80% of it and save the extra 20% for any of the unforeseen. Thirdly its a good idea to have a mental image in order to describe your vision to your contractor. Use sources like the internet and magazines to get an idea of the latest trends in home remodeling. Lastly, remodel strategically and think ahead to determine how long you actually plan to live in your home to determine whether your remodel is a short or long term investment.
