Remodeling Your Home on A Budget

The Floor Barn is a Wood Flooring Store Mansfield TX where we like to bring some insider tips on home improvement. In addition to specializing in flooring, we also specialize in home remodeling. When you are remodeling your home, everyone starts with a budget and hopefully they also have a desired outcome or finished design. Usually the tricky part is trying to achieve that desired look while staying within your budget.

You also need to prioritize the aspects of your remodeling project. For example, if you have a roofing or foundation issue, that needs to be addressed first. Otherwise, if you fail to take care of something structurally like that, leaving it untreated can damage all the other work you put into your home.

Get creative in your design. Look for alternative ways to get the same desired look for less. For example, if you want hardwood floors, but have a specific budget, look at installing an engineered hardwood floor instead of solid hardwood floors and that can save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars depending on the size of your home. The Floor Barn as a wood flooring store Mansfield has a large selection of excellent handscraped engineered wood floors to choose from. You can shop online at our website, http://floorbarn.com/shoponline/category/hardwood-flooring-wood-floors/ or in our retail store.

If you consider yourself a handy person, learn a new DIY skill. This is not for every homeowner, but if you feel confident that you can take on a project, it can save a lot of money. The difficult part is determining whether the project is suitable for a DIY project or if it is best hiring a professional. Nothing is worse than starting a project, installing something incorrectly and having to start all over and purchasing products where you have wasted money.

Paint your cabinets instead of replacing them. Painting them can save you a lot of money, you just need to make sure and use quality paint and use sufficient coats of paint. Do not skimp on the quality of brush either. Taking the time to do it right can be the difference between a quality job and one that was a waste of your time.

If you want the look of hardwood floors, but it is not in your budget, try laminate floors or vinyl plank floors. Technology has improved incredibly over the past few years where the products look almost like real wood. And you can save about 2-3 dollars a sq ft versus going with engineered wood.
