When working on a budget, it’s still possible to get the dream bathroom, custom closet, or high-end kitchen you desire. You just need a little know-how and a can-do attitude. Whether you’re an avid do-it-yourselfer or are just starting out, here are the best DIY tips for remodeling on a budget.
Plan Ahead
When embarking on a home remodeling project, you need to plan ahead and set a budget. Start by creating a remodeling project planner that defines your goals, with a checklist of what you will need for the job, including tools, materials and any required permits. Next, create a home renovation schedule that will help to keep you on track — but be realistic. If you are new to the world of DIY, know that there may be a learning curve and projects could take a bit longer than anticipated. Allow enough flexibility in your timeline and budget for any unexpected bumps and issues may arise.
Shop Smart
When you shop online at The RTA Store, you can save up to 50% off big box store prices. If you are tackling that dream bathroom or high-end kitchen update, ready-to-assemble cabinets for the home are the most budget-friendly option, because you do the assembly and installation work yourself. All parts are pre-cut and all holes are pre-drilled, so it’s easier than you might think. Read our home remodeling project how-to’s, go over assembly instructions, and when in doubt, know that we’re here to help! You can reach us by phone, live chat, or email.
Accept Help
When sticking to a home renovation schedule, help is invaluable and can come in many forms — whether it’s assistance from friends and family, hiring an expert when necessary, or consulting with a designer. Speaking of help, did you know The RTA Store offers free room design? When you shop with us, you can request to be paired with a professional designer who will create a custom layout with photorealistic renderings. You will also get an itemized list of what you will need and what it will all cost, to help with your remodeling project planner and to help you stay on budget.
The fact is, you don’t have to spend a fortune on your home remodeling project to achieve a stunning end result! While doing the work yourself can save you money, it’s always good to be mindful of sales when working on a tight budget. Shop our Friends and Family Sale, July 24th through 31st, 2020!
