6 Steps in Home Renovations

We’re excited to work with you to craft a detailed remodeling plan that meets both your aesthetic and functional needs. Our dedicated craftsmen possess the perfect blend of skill and creativity to bring your vision to life, focusing on timely completion and unwavering satisfaction with the final outcome. Dagmar Construction’s main goal is to achieve complete customer happiness with our consistent delivery of exceptional service across all projects. This is what the typical process looks like:

1. Planning

We will work with you to help plan your perfect renovation by working off of your design or choosing one of our many design options. Whatever you pick, we will turn your space into the room of your dreams.

2. Demolition

Once all your materials arrive at the job site and have been inspected, it’s demolition time. If space is being added, then framing generally takes place. If walls within are being moved, it may be a good time to potentially install any new windows and doors.

3. Work Behind the Walls

Generally, this is the time for critical work behind walls, below floors, and above ceilings, plumbing, electrical, heating, and air conditioning rough-ins, subfloors, and insulation. Next, we patch and hang drywall, tape, and sand to create smooth exterior surfaces.

4. Paint and Flooring

This is when you start to see your room really take shape. By painting walls and installing the floor, you can really see what your new renovation will look like.

5. Install Cabinets and Appliances

Now that walls and floors are in, the room begins to resemble its finished state. Cabinets are typically installed next, with upper cabinets going in before lower ones. As well as any appliances and equipment.

6. Finishing Touches

This is the time to add those last details and decorations, final painting, backsplashes, floor sealing, light fixtures, hardware, and any other touch-ups. Once a renovation is complete, be sure to take a moment to enjoy your new surroundings – and maybe even start dreaming of your next project!

#1 Don’t Skimp on Prep Work

It’s very critical not to overlook any prep work when diving into a home renovation. Certain measures must be taken before beginning any phases of renovation work. This is oftentimes overlooked and ends up costing you more of your time, and more importantly, money. Be sure to go over your renovation plans thoroughly with a skilled professional. We always carefully plan the beginning stages of each renovation project we get.

#2 Be Mindful With ‘Gutting Everything Out’

While in your planning phase, be mindful of what is being removed from your home’s structure. Sometimes a homeowner may “gut out” too much material that was unnecessary in the first place. A lot of the existing structure of the building can be worked around or even worked with, such as walls or sections of the floor.

#3 Don’t Ignore Lighting

Another common mistake homeowners make is overlooking the lighting of their homes. Lighting can really make an impact on the ambiance, feeling, colors, and overall atmosphere of your home. We’ll help you choose the most suitable lighting for your home’s unique design that will add a very pleasant effect to the aesthetics of your new design.

#4 Choose the Right Paint

There are several different types of paint made for just about every kind of surface. Typically, flat paints are used for ceilings and even sometimes on walls, whereas different kinds of semigloss are good to use on trim. Even glossy paint is sometimes more appropriate for certain types of trim. This all depends on the individual layout of your design. Choosing the right kind of paint can add a lot of flair to the finished appearance of your renovation project.

#5 Update the Electrical System

There’s no better time to upgrade your electrical system than during a renovation. One thing often overlooked is having a professional check to see if your wiring is all up to code and working properly. This is especially true in older homes and buildings. Be sure to talk this over while forming your renovation plans and decide on the locations and types of outlets you need to install.
