Perguntas a se fazer antes de iniciar um projeto de melhoria na sua casa

A economia tem estado em crise nos últimos meses, o que faz com que todos se sintam instáveis. Mas bom ou mau, a sua casa pode precisar de reparações e você pode não poder esperar.

Do you need to make a major fix in your home? Maybe you need a new appliance suddenly? Sometimes home repairs come at inopportune times. Here are a few key tips to making home improvements in such an uncertain financial time.

Can I do it myself?

The first question you should ask is if you can do it yourself. If it is a small project or installing an appliance you will find that you can probably take care of it on your own. Instructional videos for absolutely everything are on YouTube so if you have patience, you can learn. Things like fixing gas lines and electrical wires should still be done by professionals because they can get dangerous.

What is out there?

If you need work done at home now is not the time to pull the trigger at the first contractor or product you see. Putting in the work to research your options could be an enormous time and money saver down the line. You want to make sure you are getting exactly what you need at a reasonable price. Look online and make some calls. Try to get in touch with local small businesses as well because they may have more flexibility on price and will be happy to get your business.

What exactly do I need?

First and foremost make a checklist of exactly what you need done and if you are doing it yourself, all the materials you will need to purchase. Try and really be thorough. This will help you when navigating the budgeting of the project. If you are clear on what you need you can avoid unnecessary costs and salespeople trying to up-sell you.

How much can I afford?

Once you know what you need research costs and set a budget. Your budget should reflect what you can afford and what the most essential parts of the project will cost. You can look up prices of products and supplies online to find the most affordable as well as contact contractors and get estimates for the work. If your estimates come back too high to afford fix the things that are most urgent and save for the rest a little more down the line.
