We at Houston Remodeling can't emphasize enough the importance of planning and organization before tackling a remodeling project. Here are some up-front suggestions to get you started.

 

Make a Game Plan

To help you refine your ideas, make two lists: Must-Have Necessities and Nice-to-Have Wishes. When you have to make budget choices and other decisions, your lists will give you a benchmark from which to proceed.

 

Use a Divided Notebook and Binder

It will be a single place that you can:

• Store all the paperwork you will accumulate.
• Record contact information for suppliers.
• Gather notes about other sources you want to track down.
• Use as a diary of your progress.

Designate a "Remodeling Stuff" Area

Assign one location for items related to your remodeling project - It could be a shelf, a dresser drawer or a large tote bag. The items stored there might include:

• A measuring tape.
• A notepad (or this checklist) for jotting down preferences, measurements, product information and the like.
• Samples of materials, such as tile, countertop samples or paint chips.

The checklists below may become your best friend during your remodeling project. Use it to keep yourself organized by noting product choices, design preferences, contact names and numbers, and other important bits of information that may tend to get lost in the dust.

 

Below is a checklist of items to help you get organized for your Bathroom or Kitchen Remodel.  These will help you get a budget and to get a feel of just how much work is involved in a Bathroom Remodel.
