4 Renovation Mistakes to Avoid

October 16, 2012 // Posted in Real Estate

Choosing the wrong contractor
The lowest bid does not equal the best. Be sure to do your research before selecting a contractor.

Not being practical
Many people think that wood floors are a practical option. Pets’ nails can quickly cause serious damage to hardwood floors. Young children can cause more wear and tear on hardwood floors.
Not ordering extra materials
When it comes to flooring, ordering up to 20% extra flooring is recommended. Since flooring is prone to cuts and breakage during installation, having extra material is a safe bet, since there is no guarantee you will be able to find an exact match.

Measurement mistakes
It is very important to be accurate when measuring for new cabinets. This can be a very costly mistake. Measure, then re-measure, and then re-measure again to be sure.
