Follow the 3 ‘P’s of home renovation (MS) — The initial stage of a renovation is the planning stage.
Planning Many people find it helpful to write out plans and draw up the concept on paper. If the job will be expansive and require an architect or engineer, he or she will often provide a technical drawing. If the project focuses more on decorating than building, some find it helpful to create a design board. This is where fabric swatches, paint color samples, pictures of furniture and accessories, and any other components of the room are put together. Another part of the planning stage is establishing a budget and determining the project’s financing.
Permits
Many projects, especially those involving building, demolition, electrical work, or mold remediation, require permits issued by the town, province or city in which the work will be taking place. The purpose of permits and subsequent inspections is often questioned by homeowners looking to circumvent the system. In many cases, homeowners will need to visit the municipal building in their respective towns and apply for a permit. The permit may not immediately be issued. Oftentimes, there is a waiting period during which the project’s legality and safety is examined. Work should not begin until a permit is received, and then the permit generally has to be
placed in plain sight, such as in a window of the building. Depending on building codes, inspections of the work may need to take place after all of the project is completed or during certain phases. Should a home be put on the market, all permits may need to be on file or in the homeowners’ possession in order for a certificate of occupancy to be issued to the new buyer. Failure to have permits can hold up the process or result in fines.
Protection Homeowners about to begin a project also need to emphasize safety. • Eye protection is especially important when working with flying debris, cutting items, mixing caustic chemicals, etc.
• Respirator or face masks Can cover the nose or mouth when there is dust or debris in the air that can enter the lungs. • Boots: Proper footwear ensures protection should an item fall on the foot or when walking where nails or other sharp items are located. • Fire extinguisher: A fire extinguisher should be nearby in the event of a mishap. • First aid kit: An abrasion or cut may occur, requiring prompt care. • Gloves: When the hands need to be protected or extra traction on surfaces is required, gloves can be a necessity. • Headphones: Safety headphones can protect the ears against loud, consistent noises from power equipment and tools.

Tips for hiring a contractor, maintaining projects Starting a project can be a lot of work, here are some tips to remember before and after a project: · Get three written estimates based on the same work to make meaningful comparisons. Estimates should include detailed job specifications on the materials, labor, timeline, and total charges for the work. Don’t automatically choose the lowest bidder. · Ask for references. Talk to friends, neighbors, or former customers who are familiar with the contractor’s work, reliability, and business practices. Ask former customers to see their completed job, if they were satisfied, and if they would use the contractor again. · Obtain a detailed written contract that states exactly what work will be done, the quality of
the materials used, warranties, start and completion dates, total cost of the job, and a payment schedule. It will provide clear expectations for you and the contractor, and help avoid many of the problems experienced by consumers. Make sure you understand all of the terms. If you don’t, ask. Never sign a contract with blank spaces. Know your cancellation rights. · Protect yourself by asking the contractor, subcontractor and suppliers for a completed and signed “waiver of lien” form. This will prevent a subcontractor or material supplier from putting a lien on your home if the contractor doesn’t pay the bills. This can happen even if you paid the contract in full. · Make sure your contractor is insured and carries personal

liability, worker’s compensation, and property damage coverage. Ask for copies of current insurance certificates. If the contractor is not properly insured, you could be held liable for any injuries and damages that occur during the project. · Keep good records -- copies of the contract, change orders and correspondence.
Preventive Maintenance Protects Your Investment · Check the roof for any missing or damaged shingles, flashing around the chimney, foundation for any cracks, windows and doors to identify or prevent water damage from heavy spring rains. Check gutters to ensure they are hanging properly and are free of debris. Position downspouts so they drain at least three feet away from the
foundation. · Inspect plumbing and pipes to prevent water damage inside the home. Check around the base of the water heater for evidence of any leaks. Make sure your sump pump is operating properly. · Inspect the electrical system, fuse or circuit-breaker box for excessive wear or tripped breakers. Make sure each circuit breaker is labeled with the location it serves. Replace batteries as needed in smoke detectors and inspect the gauges in fire extinguisher(s). · Change the air filters on your heating and cooling systems to clear away the winter dust and ensure you’ll have fresh air throughout your home. · Check your deck for any damaged wood, wobbly railings or stairs.
