Practical Strategies to Save Money on Your Remodel
I've been a Realtor and a remodeler in my career -- and I've also been the owner of more than a few homes that needed some upgrades. I've seen people cost themselves a great deal of money that was strictly unnecessary. But, if you read this article, maybe you'll be spared the same fate.
1. Reuse expensive parts
- Save money by reusing cabinetry materials like doors instead of replacing entire cabinets.
- Example savings: Refinishing a cabinet with new doors can cost significantly less than buying a new one.
- Special order new doors for unique cabinets or visit Habitat for Humanity ReStore for possible discounts.
2. Plan for your waste
- Minimize waste by strategizing material usage across different project areas.
- Utilize leftover materials creatively to reduce overall waste in the remodeling process.
3. Invest in your tools
- Choose quality tools over cheaper alternatives for long-term cost-effectiveness and better project outcomes.
- Quality tools like reusable paint brushes and tarps can yield better results with less effort over time.
Saving money on your remodel is achievable by implementing these practical tips.
