THE COMPLETE HOME RENOVATION PLANNER ibook

Planning a home renovation can feel overwhelming—especially when you’ve never done one before.

The Complete Home Renovation Planner gives homeowners a clear, practical roadmap for managing a renovation from the first idea through the final walk-through.

Designed for first-time renovators, this step-by-step guide explains what happens next, what questions to ask, what decisions need to be made, and what details should be tracked along the way.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Define your renovation goals, priorities, scope, and budget
• Understand the major stages of a renovation
• Decide which professionals you may need and when to hire them
• Compare contractors, bids, allowances, exclusions, and payment terms
• Prepare for permits, inspections, demolition, and construction
• Understand the typical order of construction
• Track schedules, payments, purchases, deliveries, and decisions
• Manage unexpected issues and change orders
• Plan selections before they delay the project
• Organize room-by-room renovation details
• Conduct contractor meetings and final walk-throughs
• Create and manage a punch list
• Collect warranties, manuals, permits, receipts, and closeout documents
• Reconcile your final renovation cost

This is not a technical construction manual and you don’t need renovation experience to use it. Instead, it gives you the homeowner-focused knowledge and organization system needed to stay informed and involved while qualified professionals perform the work.

Whether you’re renovating a kitchen, bathroom, several rooms, an addition, or an entire house, The Complete Home Renovation Planner helps you move through the process with a plan—and know what comes next.
