Your roadmap to a smoother, more successful renovation journey.
If you’re reading this you might be at an exciting point! A home renovation project, whether it’s a full house renovation or a kitchen remodel, can feel both exciting and overwhelming. At Wynwood Renovations, we believe the key to a successful project lies in proper planning, clear communication, and having the right team by your side. This step-by-step guide walks you through what to expect during your renovation, from the first step to the final touches and getting you back into your space as quickly and efficiently as possible!
Step 1: Initial Planning and Consultation
We’re a team of planners, through and through. Every successful remodeling project starts with careful planning. During the initial consultation, we’ll assess the scope of your project, your lifestyle needs, and the type of project you’re taking on, whether it’s a single room update or a whole-home renovation. This is a crucial step to lay the foundation for your home renovation because the success of your project lies in the upfront work – and giving yourself the right amount of time to organize and get ready. We’re as much invested in your project as you are and our work starts very early on making sure everything is lined up and ready for when we need it on site.
As far as design goes, we’ll discuss your choices early on, goals for your living space, and whether structural changes or major renovations are necessary. If you’re planning a complete home remodel, expect a comprehensive review of floor plans, design elements, and possibly new windows or light fixtures.
Step 2: Assembling the Right Team
To be honest, it takes more than a good contractor. You need the right professionals. Wynwood Renovations brings together reputable contractors, professional designers, and an experienced project manager to support your entire project. For design-forward renovations, we recommend starting this process as early as possible to ensure we’re meeting your timeline expectations.
We believe in regular communication and offer project management that keeps you informed through every phase of the renovation.
Step 3: Design, Plan, Material Selection, Budget and Scope of Work
Working with our design team, we finalize floor plans, materials, and finishes together. From selecting the right materials to choosing cohesive design elements, this is your chance to personalize your space while keeping functionality front and center.
Your input is key, and with our expert advice, you’ll be able to make confident decisions that support your lifestyle and reflect your taste.
A realistic budget is essential. It should include your expected home renovation costs, a contingency fund for unexpected costs, and an outline of the scope of work. Whether you’re updating a few rooms or managing a full home renovation, we help you set realistic expectations about what’s possible per square foot, so you’re never caught off guard. And our process is very thorough. You’ll receive costing early on – with your Design + Plan. That means that for the smallest of tile you choose, there is a transparent cost that we share with you. Line item by line item, you receive a budget for every aspect of your project and you get to decide where you might want to add or subract so you’re sitting at a comfortable price point.
Step 4: Permits and Approvals
Before renovation work begins, we’ll secure the necessary permits and ensure everything meets local building codes and local authority requirements. This step is especially important for structural work, electrical work, or significant changes to your home’s layout.
Skipping this crucial step can lead to delays and additional expenses. Our team takes care of the paperwork so you can focus on the fun parts like choosing finishes and visualizing your new space.
Step 5: Construction Phase
This is when you start to see things come together. During the construction phase, our construction crew carries out the structural work, electrical work, and installations based on your detailed plan. Depending on the scope of the project, this stage may affect your daily life. We’ll help you plan ahead to reduce disruptions. We also provide you with a daily schedule tracker online that gives you a daily update as to what work is being done, who to expect and how to plan accordingly.
Weather conditions, supply availability, and unexpected repairs may arise. With clear communication and thorough planning, we’ll keep things moving with minimal stress. We also update you with daily logs and communication so you’re always fully aware of what’s going on.
Step 6: Final Inspections and Finishing Touches
As your home renovation process nears completion, we conduct final inspections to ensure everything is safe, up to code, and aligned with your vision. Then come the finishing touches. Paint, trim, hardware, and those thoughtful details that make your new space feel like home.
Step 7: Enjoy Your Renovated Home
Ah, this is truly the best part. Coming back to your new space is thrilling for you and for us. We’ll walk you through your new space. Whether you completed a smaller project or a complete home remodel, walking into your renovated space is a moment of real joy. With support from the right contractor and a team you can trust, you’ll experience peace of mind knowing your investment was handled with care.
