Home Remodeling Process

Preparing a Wish List

You should begin by identifying the areas of your house that you would like to repair, update or completely change. Take some time to develop a complete wish list of rooms and areas of the house that are in need of some level of restoration.
This is the time to allow yourself to dream and image what your home could look like without qualifying limitations. Just imagine if there were no restrictions like money or interruptions of your day-to-day life with workers, dust and the other realities that come with remodeling construction. Let your visualizations and imagination soak in and sleep on these ideas.
After your visit to Fantasy Island, it’s time to prioritize your wish list. This should be done by focusing on the emotional value you have placed on these mental pictures, not by financial limitations or other practical reasoning decision making tools at this stage.
There will be time for this later. The significance in prioritizing your wish list is that you are allowing your emotions and creativity to lead this process. The significance of the planning procedure is that it will assist you in clarifying what is important to you. When you are required to start eliminating ideas through reasoning and justification while preparing your preliminary budget, your important priorities don’t get dismissed easily.

We at Marwood Construction also like to look at the wish list as a menu. Your immediate budget may not be practical for a specific item or area of the house during a specific custom home remodeling phase, but by focusing on the big picture we can plan and build in the infrastructure for future remodeling home projects or even do it yourself projects.

This provides you the advantages of responsible financial planning, while avoiding disrupting recently remodeled work to accommodate access for future project needs, like light switches, underground conduit and flooring material pattern breaks.

This is why we always recommend looking at your home wish list globally. Preparing for a home remodeling Houston project takes a lot of work as explained in the following link, Houston home remodeling.
