Home Remodeling Washington DC

Are you planning on tackling a home remodeling project? Before you get out your tool belt, you might really want to do some prep work.

Why you may ask? Because doing your pre-project homework will definitely help you avoid any slip-ups down the line, says Shane Hannegan, owner of Hannegan Construction a Washington DC area based home remodeling and home construction company.

First Mistake to Avoid: Not Having Proper Permits

Sure, taking shortcuts and building without a permit may save you money up front, but most likely it will end up turning into a big mistake down the line.


Second Mistake to Avoid: Buying Cheap Cabinets

Poor quality cabinets can be a time-drain. Buying lower-end products means you'll be spending more time at the hardware store returning them, trying different ones, taking them back again - you get the idea.

Third Mistake to Avoid: Not Hiring Reputable Contractor

Re-doing your kitchen? Overhauling your bathroom? Exciting times! But if you don't hire a general contractor for big projects like these, your life could become a coordination nightmare.


So there you have it.  Those are three common mistake you will want to avoid.  There are many other pitfalls you need to watch out for and we will be covering these in future posts.

Until next time,
