Should you take a Renocation?


Listen Later

What is a Renocation, you might ask?  Well, a Renocation is combining a vacation

with a renovation, thought we would give a few tips on taking a Renocation.

 

•             Wouldn’t

it be nice to go on vacation and come home to a new Kitchen, Bath or some other
home improvement you want?

o             You’re

not there during messy, noisy, potentially dangerous demolition.

o             You skip

the chaos of workers going in and out of your house all day, drilling,
hammering and creating fumes.

o             You don’t

have to deal with the inconvenience of not having a working kitchen, having
water shut off periodically or entire rooms not being usable.

o             Workers

can start work earlier and work later in the day, knowing they’re not
disturbing homeowners.

o             You avoid

the urge to micromanage the project and constantly look over the shoulders of
contractors.

o             Some

projects, like a roof replacement, may be so disruptive that it’s best to
vacate the house anyway.

o             You come

home to a finished project, and get the “Wow!” moment of seeing your renovated
home for the first time.

o            

•             Reasons

why you might not want to take a Renocation. 
Here are some potential downsides to being away while the work is done:

•             You’ll

come home to a mess, especially if there’s no project manager supervising on
your behalf. Your contractor isn’t going to dust, sweep and vacuum for you.

•             Workers

will make themselves at home in the owner’s absence. Your bathroom will
definitely get used and abused.  Leave
plenty of toilet paper behind!

•             You’re

never really “away” from the job site. While out of town, your phone will ring
and ping constantly, with calls and messages concerning the work at your house.

•             Things

can go wrong. Sheetrock went up before a few electrical outlets were in place.
They had to add them after the fact and it delayed the completion time.

•             You might

not get what you asked for. That gorgeous sage green paint you picked out for
the guest bathroom might be mis-ordered, and you’ll come home to chartreuse
walls!

•             Vacations

are expensive, and so are renovations. Combining the two may stretch your
renovation budget beyond its limits.

o            

•             Tips for

a Renocation.

o             Not

applicable to all projects,

o             Good

Contractors love when clients go on Renocation!

o             Find a

Good Contractor

o             Be

specific and have a strong plan

o             Have the

ability to be contacted
