What to consider when starting a home renovation project?

Beginning a complete home overhaul project can be a daunting experience and requires thoughtful planning and consideration. Here are some key elements to keep in mind:

  1. Goals and Objectives: Ask yourself, do you need help turning your house into your dream home? Have you outgrown your home but moving is not an option? Are you embarrassed to have people over? Determine why you want to renovate your home and focus on improvements that align with your goals.
  2. Budget: Understand and set a realistic budget you’re comfortable with and ensure your renovation team respects your financial limits and has the ability to design and build your space within your budget. 
  3. Deadline: Large-scale home renovations can take several months to complete. It is essential to work with your renovation team to set a realistic project deadline.
  4. Living Arrangements: With large-scale home renovations, you may need to find temporary accommodation while construction is in process. It’s imperative to have a transparent conversation with your home renovation company about the projected timeline so that you can make timely and suitable alternative living arrangements.
  5. Design & Functionality: Gather inspiration and ideas for your dream home. Collaborate with a designer to develop your aesthetic style, while creating a functional layout that optimizes your space.
  6. Material Selection: Work with your renovation company to choose durable materials that suit your design preferences, budget, and long-term needs. Quality materials can significantly impact the value and longevity of your home renovation. 
  7. Professional Guidance: Choose an experienced, reputable company that will guide you through the entire renovation process. A large-scale home renovation involves seamless coordination of multiple roles, ensuring the completion of work within a set schedule, while being held to a high standard. Working with a company that has an in-house team of designers, tradesmen, and project managers can offer a cohesive and streamlined renovation experience.

Choosing the right company and considering these key elements will ensure a successful full home remodel.

The duration of a full home renovation can vary significantly depending on several factors such as the size of the house, the extent of the renovation, and the complexity of the project and design. When determining how long the home remodeling project could take it is essential to factor in the entire timeline, from the initial consultation, to pre-construction, to construction.

On average, a simple full home renovation that does not require a building permit can take 6 to 8 months from the initial consultation to the completion of construction. More extensive renovations requiring structural changes, such as to plumbing systems in bathroom renovations or kitchen renovations, will add to this timeline significantly.

At SOSNA, we provide all our clients with a detailed construction schedule that shows what we plan to do every day during construction. Our team adheres to a strict renovation process with your dedicated Project Manager providing daily updates to ensure you are up to date on the renovation and the project stays on track.

When choosing a home renovation company, it is crucial to work with a home renovation company that will provide a realistic timeline and keep you informed on the progress and timeline throughout the renovation process.

The cost of a home renovation can vary significantly depending on the scope of work, the extent of the renovation, and the complexity of the project and design. Interior home renovations usually range between $100 to $300 per square foot. Additions and extensions could increase this range dramatically.

At SOSNA, we do not cut corners. We ensure that every room is renovated to the highest standard using only quality materials. detailed design needs to be developed before an accurate quote could be provided. The price we quote you includes every detail of the project and will not increase during your home renovation. That is our promise to you.

It s important to work with an experienced  home renovation company that can help you create a realistic budget that suits your financial constraints while ensuring a successful project outcome.

If the renovation involves structural or layout alterations, or modifications to plumbing or electrical work a permit is likely. Obtaining the necessary permits can take anywhere from 3 weeks to 6 months depending on the municipality, complexity and Zoning requirements. 

Our team at SOSNA is familiar with permitting requirements within Toronto and the GTA. We understand when one is needed, and can streamline the process of obtaining them for your project.

At SOSNA, most of our clients renovate their home so that they can live there comfortably for a long time. Nobody can tell you exactly how to maximize the value of your home. Nobody can tell you who will purchase your home when the day comes. Therefore, we can’t determine the future homebuyer’s  individual priorities, tastes, likes and dislikes. For this reason, we recommend to our clients to focus on what will improve the life of them and their family now, as opposed to focusing on what will make a profit in the far future. However, if you observe current trends maximizing the value of your home through renovation, here are some key tips for your project:

  1. Improve Energy Efficiency: installing energy-efficient appliances, insulation, windows, and solar panels can lower your utility bills and make your home more environmentally friendly. 
  2. Smart Home Features: automated lighting, smart thermostats, or other home automation systems modernize your home and increase functionality and convenience.
  3. Consider Future Needs: renovations like a main floor master suite, wider doorways to accommodate mobility devices, or a walk-in shower can ensure your home continues to be comfortable and accessible as you age.
  4. Personalized Spaces: Create spaces that reflect your interests, hobbies, and style. Remember, this is your home, it should make you happy and resonate with your personal taste and preferences.

We want you to feel that same joy and pride in your home now and for years to come.

Estimating renovation projects inherently involves some guesswork, but we take steps to minimize it as much as possible. Here’s how:

Crystal-clear Design Drawings: Our meticulous drawings go beyond basic sketches and floor plans. They include precise measurements, elevations, sections, and details with specifications for materials and finishes and clear layouts for plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems. This level of detail allows us to calculate material quantities and labor hours more accurately.

Upfront Material & Fixture Selection: We work with you to select all materials and fixtures – tiles, flooring, cabinets, countertops, accessories down to the door knobs on your cabinetry – before finalizing the quote. This eliminates the need to estimate costs based on allowances, reducing the potential for surprises later.

Thorough Inspections: Before finalizing the quote, we thoroughly inspect your home’s structure, plumbing and HVAC systems, and electrical wiring. This uncovers potential unseen issues that could impact the project scope, cost, and design. By identifying these issues upfront, we can factor them into the quote, avoiding unexpected cost overruns during construction.

Only after we complete all the above-mentioned steps do we provide a fixed-price quote that we guarantee will not change during construction.
