Embarking on a full home remodel is an exciting endeavor that promises to transform your living space into the home of your dreams. However, before diving into interior remodeling work, there are crucial preparatory steps that deserve your attention. At Elevation Construction, we understand the importance of laying a solid foundation for your remodel to ensure long-lasting beauty, functionality, and structural integrity. Here are key items to consider before initiating interior renovations:
- Replace Galvanized Pipes: Aging galvanized pipes can be prone to corrosion and leaks, compromising your home’s plumbing system and water quality. Prioritize replacing them with durable, long-lasting materials such as copper or PEX piping to ensure reliable water supply throughout your remodel and beyond.
- Upgrade Wiring and Electrical Panel: Outdated wiring poses safety hazards and may not support modern electrical demands. Consider upgrading your electrical system and installing a new panel to accommodate increased power needs and ensure compliance with current building codes.
- Install a New Roof with Sheathing: A sturdy roof is essential for protecting your home from the elements and preserving its structural integrity. Invest in a new roof installation with quality sheathing to enhance insulation, prevent moisture intrusion, and safeguard your interior spaces from water damage.
- Upgrade Hot Water Heater and Enclosure: Replace your old hot water heater with a more energy-efficient model to improve performance and reduce utility costs. Additionally, consider enclosing the hot water heater in an insulated room to enhance safety, minimize heat loss, and optimize energy efficiency.
- Repair and Level the Foundation: Addressing foundation issues is critical for ensuring the stability and longevity of your home. Prioritize foundation repairs and leveling to correct any structural deficiencies and prevent future problems that could compromise your remodel. Doing any interior remodeling work prior to leveling the foundation could cause cracking and damaging the work during the foundation repair.
- Siding Work and Sealing: Enhance your home’s curb appeal and weather resistance by investing in quality siding materials and thorough sealing. Properly installed siding acts as a protective barrier against moisture, pests, and outdoor elements while enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your home’s exterior.
- New Energy-Efficient Windows: Upgrade to energy-efficient windows to enhance insulation, reduce energy consumption, and improve indoor comfort. High-performance windows help keep the elements out while allowing natural light to brighten your living spaces.
