How To

Do you renovate interior or exterior first?

Which one should I do first?

When choosing which project to begin with, there are many things to take into consideration. Most people consider whether the building is new or old. The condition of the roof, windows and doors, flooring, wiring, and other aspects are all important. If the building is new, then there are many different aspects to think about such as the location, size, number of rooms, style, etc.

The roof should be the first thing you look at if the building's age is a concern. If it looks like the roof could collapse any minute now, you may want to start on the renovation. Next, you can check if your roof is okay. Next, check out the windows. If they are broken or dirty, then you might want them replaced before doing much else. Next, clean the doors and ensure that they are free of debris. You can now begin to install the flooring if everything looks fine. It is important that your flooring is strong and stable so that it will not give way no matter what you do. After you have completed these steps, you can move on the walls. You can now examine the walls to check for cracks or damage. If the wall looks good, you can proceed to the next stage. The ceiling can be finished after the walls have been examined. You should inspect the ceiling to ensure that it can withstand any weight you put on it. If everything checks out, then you can move forward with your renovation.

You would want to begin with the exterior if the building was recently built. Start by looking at the outside. Is it in good condition? Are there cracks around? Does it look good overall? If the exterior doesn't look great, then you should definitely fix it. You don't want your home to look poor. Next, make sure to check the foundation. Repairing the foundation is a good idea if it appears weak. You should also inspect the driveway. It should be smooth and flat. If it isn’t then it is time to repair it. You should also inspect the sidewalk while you're checking your driveway. If it's uneven, then you should probably replace it.

Once these areas are checked, you should move on to the inside of the house. Begin by inspecting the kitchen. Is it clean and well-maintained? It should be cleaned up if it's messy. Next, make sure to inspect the appliances. You want them to be in good order and working correctly. If they're not, you can either replace them or repair them. You can then inspect the cabinets. You can paint them if the cabinets are stained or damaged. If they are in good order, you can move onto the bathroom. Check the toilet in here. If it leaks then it's time to replace it. You can wash it if it is just dirty. Next, take a look at all of the fixtures. Check that the fixtures are clean. You should clean them if they are stained. Finally, you should inspect the countertops. Repainting countertops is advisable if they have cracked or are chipped. Sealant should be used if the surfaces are smooth and shiny.

The last step is to check the furniture. Verify that the furniture is not damaged or missing. You should find what is missing if it is not there. It is best to repair any broken items. After everything has been checked, you can go outside to finish the job.
