\r\n\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t\t<\/i>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t \r\n\tHey {first_name} \r\n\t <\/div>\r\n \r\n\tCreating a budget is one of the very first things that you should do when planning a<\/div>\r\n \r\n\trenovation project of any kind. The 5 tips below will help keep your reno on budget, with<\/div>\r\n \r\n\tcost-saving advice to keep more money in your pocket. \r\n\t <\/div>\r\n \r\n\t1. Account for Permits<\/strong><\/span> \r\n\t <\/div>\r\n \r\n\tYou need permits before you start major renovations. Not having the right permits,<\/div>\r\n \r\n\tor not correctly displaying permits, can cause serious delays and fines from city<\/div>\r\n \r\n\tinspectors. Make sure to apply for permits as soon as the sale is final. I can guide<\/div>\r\n \r\n\tyou through this process. \r\n\t <\/div>\r\n \r\n\t2. Stick to Timelines<\/strong><\/span> \r\n\t <\/div>\r\n \r\n\tStay on track of your finances with a timeline for projects, with associated deadlines,<\/div>\r\n \r\n\tand the budget listed for each project. \r\n\t <\/div>\r\n \r\n\t3. Sell What You Can't Use<\/strong><\/span> \r\n\t <\/div>\r\n \r\n\tEven if you don't want the old kitchen, somebody else might. Save on dumping fees,<\/div>\r\n \r\n\ttake pictures of the original \u201880s oak cabinets, and post them on Kijiji. That goes for<\/div>\r\n \r\n\tanything that could go to a good home. \r\n\t <\/div>\r\n \r\n\t4. Put in Sweat Equity<\/strong><\/span> \r\n\t <\/div>\r\n \r\n\tThat is, if you have the skills and the time to do the job yourself. Great tutorials can<\/div>\r\n \r\n\tbe found online from mudding a patch in the wall to refinishing hardwood floors. \r\n\t <\/div>\r\n \r\n\t5. Have a Reserve<\/span><\/strong> \r\n\t <\/div>\r\n \r\n\tI advise that you add 20% to the final estimate because remodeling a home can give<\/div>\r\n \r\n\trise to unexpected surprises ie. termite damage or asbestos. \r\n\t <\/div>\r\n \r\n\tKeep these five tips in mind to make sure that your home renovation project doesn't break<\/div>\r\n \r\n\tyour budget.
