How To: Budget for Your Dream Home

Planning a home improvement project? Then you’re probably planning a budget as well.

From a young age, everyone imagines what their Dream Home will be. One day, you get to make those dreams come true! But chances are it isn’t happening overnight. Over the years, you plan remodeling projects that get you one step closer to your Dream Home. The hardest decision to make is what projects fit into your budget at the time.

Planning a budget can be stressful. Follow this guide to help ease your budgeting stress with a look at some factors that can affect the final total!

1.       What material will you choose?

Every material that you could for your project will have a different cost. If you’re replacing your front door – wood is more expensive because it is heavy and the manufacturing process is more demanding. Fiberglass, however, would be a cheaper alternative to wood.

2.       What style are you looking for?

Similar to material, the style of the product could also affect the cost. The price of a bay window, for example, would be more expensive than a single-hung window.

3.       What is the size of the project?

Obviously, the bigger the project is, the more expensive the cost will be. The estimated cost between a new door replacement vs. a whole-roof replacement is pretty monumental. Figure out what type of project you’re looking at before you budget!

4.       What are the installation costs?

DIY is always a cheaper options (especially when you can find the products you need on sale) but you should really talk to a professional before attempting to do a project on your own. If you make a mistake, it might end of costing you more.
