Many homemakers dream of remodeling their home to

Increase available space

Better esthetics

Get a different look

It is important, however, that you know exactly why you want to remodel and what you want to do with the extra space.

ValueMax, a premier consumer saving program, suggests that you plan your project for efficient implementation.

List the changes that you would like

Create a favorites file

Add pictures of what you like from magazines

Keep a folder dedicated to remodeling on your computer and add pictures of interiors that have been done

Maintain a list of stores you have visited and the model number of what pieces you think you might want to buy

ValueMax suggest that you note the prices of all the products so that the final choice takes cost into account.

This also helps in budgeting for the remodeling project.

Putting a number to the amount that you will spend is critical

This should be based on

How much you really need the space

Costs for the specific items that you have been researching

Estimates that you have obtained from vendors

The extent to which the added room or space will ad to the value of your home

ValueMax tells you that there are online tools that can help you estimate what value the extra room really ads.

handy and you can purchase the items that

you have had an eye on.
