PLAN STRATEGICALLY
Will you be replacing sheetrock on the walls? And then will you be painting? There’s a ripple effect with home renovation projects, which might make including a window and door renovation a strategic move. A home renovation can be an opportunity to think strategically about other potential work in your home. This can also help shorten the overall timeframe that your home might be in “reno” mode. Piggy-backing projects can potentially save time and cost, especially when hiring an architect, builder, or contractor to bring all the parts together.
SEEK EXPERTISE EARLY ON
Home renovations can feel overwhelming. There’s so much to explore and learn, and so many decisions to make. When dovetailing window and door renovations with bigger home renovations, you’ll want to consult an expert for design ideas and guidance. Architects, builders, and contractors can help with the overall design vision as well as the mechanics of how the pieces of your home renovation project will fit together seamlessly.
SEE THE BIG PICTURE
When you think of your windows and doors as key elements in the overall design of a home renovation project, you can incorporate them in ways that will bring the entire project to life. For example, if you’re updating your home to achieve a more contemporary look, a new kitchen countertop, refaced cabinets, and a new kitchen window can come together to make all the difference. Choosing a window with minimal sightlines and large panes of glass, as shown in the styles at Marvin Modern, can transform your space in a dramatic way, plus add more natural sunlight, which is always a bonus.
