Problems With Old Electrical Wires in My Attic - Homes built before
the 1940s could have problems with old electrical wires in their attics.
If the electrical is working just fine in the home and you're not having
major issues, you could leave your electrical wiring alone, but I don't
advise it.
Home Restoration Using a Digital Camera - Now obviously you can't
build a home with a digital camera, but you can save yourself a lot of
frustration by taking pictures as the work progresses. One of the best
tools that you can use today when working on any home remodeling project
is a digital camera.
Online Construction Referral Services Create Restoration Problems -
I needed to find a heating and air-conditioning contractor for the house
I was remodeling and decided to use a popular online construction
referral service. At the time, I was familiar with the process, because
I used their services before, but this time, I was about to learn a
lesson that I would never forget.
Design First Then Renovate Your Home - I know plenty of homeowners
who have a pretty good idea about what they want and often call me, to
provide them with a decent design for their renovation project. This is
okay for the remodeling contractor, but most of the time the homeowner
doesn't get exactly what they want. They haven't gathered enough
information and often end up disappointed in the future.
Used
Building Materials Versus New Building Materials - There are some
pros and cons to using older building materials as compared to
purchasing new ones. It wouldn't be a big problem, if you simply need to
clean up the older building materials, but if there in dire need of some
serious cleanup or refinishing, you could find yourself putting a lot of
hours in, during the process.
