- John and Martha G.- El Dorado Hills, CA Should I do it all at once or in phases?
You might be wondering if you should start with a smaller project and then do things over time. If money is an issue, then you may not have a choice. If you must do it this way, it is best to create an overall plan first so that you don’t end up having to re-do things that you hadn’t planned. If you decide to do it at once, it will prevent you from having to be inconvenienced multiple times and it will save you money. In larger projects, the contractor has to make less trips and may have more flexibility to work with you on pricing versus a smaller project. Some folks decide to move out during the remodel, while other stay and work around it. If you stay, then you can sequence the project so that you are not left without a bathroom at any given time and have a retreat area and makeshift kitchen in your home to live in during construction.
