Ok, let's face it! Some of you here might
think that renovations is not that important at all and will only cost you a
lot. Of course, it will if you don't know anything about renovations and all.
However, if you just know the basics of what's and what's not to do, then you
might avoid major and costly mistakes in renovating your home.
Sad to say, some homeowners believe on
lies about home renovations. That is why, they are committing costly mistakes,
which they have regretted it. Well, if you are one of those homeowners who are
planning to do some renovations, then you might as well know the lies about
most homeowners believe – which you shouldn't. It does not matter if you are living in a real estate Makati, or any real estate property in the Philippines, then there is no reason for you not to have a desirable outcome.
Reusing material is a no-no
It's the opposite instead. If you have a
lot of materials left from the previous renovations that you have, you can
reuse it. It is not true that it will cost you a lot more. In fact, this is one
of the many ways you can save your budget for the next renovations you have at
home. Well, you just have to make sure that the materials you use are still
good and durable enough for your home. If not, then you better find another one
that can be still of use.
Improvements always pay off
This is one of the common misconceptions
of most homeowners. They always think that whenever they renovate, they will
always have something in return. Sad to say, it is always not the case. Home
renovations may not pay you off. That is why, before you decide to have some
renovations on your home, you have to be sure that you won't regret your
decisions later on. Moreover, if you renovate your home without any plans at
all, it might commit costly mistakes. And I'm sure, you don't want that to
happen, right?
You don't need any permits
If you think that renovating your home do
need to have permits, then you better think again. Some properties require you
to submit a particular permit before you can do the renovations. Well, if you
don't know anything about it at all, then this might cause you into trouble for
not following the policy of your community. Moreover, permits are there to
authorize you to do the renovations for any case someone is there to ask you
about it.
Good contractors are available 24 hours
This is not true. When a contractor is
good enough when it comes to home renovations, you have to expect that there
are also a lot of homeowners who likes to hire that particular contractor – not
just you. That means they are not available anytime you want them to be. Sad to
say, some homeowners fail to see that coming, that is why they tend to do a
last minute bookings. As a result, the contractor that they want to hire is not
available. Some of them resort to a not so good contractor, which definitely
can jeopardize the quality of the renovations.
Hiring a professional is expensive
Definitely not! Of course, not all
professionals have expensive fees. Some professionals offer services at an
affordable price without compromising the quality of their work. Moreover, if
you don't hire professionals, doing home renovations on your own may cost you
more than hiring one. You are hiring a professional that can do the work faster
and easier. All you have to do is expect for a better outcome.
