1. 7 Ways to Save on Your
Home Remodel

2. SECTION HEADProjects rarely go according to plan or
budget. With the average kitchen and
bathroom remodel costing $20,556
and $9,348, respectively, according to
Homeadvisor, any home renovation
project–whether large or small–
requires proper budgeting.

3. To help you accomplish your desired
renovations while saving when possible,
here are some ways to slash the bill of
your next remodel.

4. SECTION HEAD1. Schedule remodeling
when contractors are
less busy

5. If you wait until the slower winter or
spring season to schedule your
work, you may be able to negotiate
a discount.

6. SECTION HEAD2. Evaluate maintenance
and long-term costs
before making a plan

7. There are a number of scenarios where
paying for more expensive material up
front will provide savings down the line
that more than make up for the initial
expense, particularly if you plan on
staying in your home for a longer period
of time.

8. For example, if your house needs
exterior paint, consider siding instead.
While you'll pay several thousand dollars
initially, siding is a more permanent
solution that eliminates the need for and
expense of future paint jobs.

3. Use existing plumbing
& electrical locations
when possible.

10. Moving pipes for sinks and
toilets can rack up plumbing
fees fast, and electricians'
wiring charges don't come
cheap either.

11. As you formulate your remodel
plans, consider keeping
existing locations of sinks,
toilets, and wiring; the less
you move, the less you'll pay.

12. SECTION HEAD
4. Stick with standard sizes

13. While you're certainly free to
install oddly sized doors,
windows, and bathtubs, they'll
cost you dearly. Standard
sized materials look just as
good and function just as well
for a lower price.

14. SECTION HEAD5. Expand your horizons
when buying materials
Materials make up a large portion of any
remodel bill. Here are some options for
lowering your materials bill:

15. Ask your contractor if you can
buy leftover supplies from other
jobs. Contractors often end up
with a stockpile of odds and
ends from completed jobs, and
they may be happy to unload
some of that inventory at a great
price to you.

16. Visit building supply auctions
to save on overstock materials
and other supplies.

17. SECTION HEAD
6. Tackle some jobs yourself

18. Talk to your contractor about
tasks you could perform to
save money.

19. For example, if you hire a contractor
to remodel your bathroom, ask if you
could save on your total bill by
removing the existing tub, vanity, and
other fixtures yourself.

20. SECTION HEAD
7. Recoup some costs by
selling old materials

21. Inevitably, you'll end up with a lot of trash
when you remodel. Remember that one
person's trash is another's treasure!

22. Sell old appliances, fixtures, and
materials via websites such as Craigslist,
to defray some of the costs of your
remodel.

23. While any home remodel will cost you a pretty penny,
there are ways to save if you get creative and are
willing to put in a little time. Next time you upgrade your
home, use these tips to save where you can.
