Repairs and renovations require careful planning and execution to keep them on schedule and within budget. Before you begin, prioritize your repairs and renovations so that you know what’s most important; I give you all the tools and tips you need in Chapter 14. Invest your time and money in the repairs and renovations that promise the most bang for your buck — and then if you need to trim costs, you can skimp on the less important stuff.

Schedule the work so that it proceeds logically. If you install new tile or carpeting or refinish the floors before painting the walls and ceiling, you risk ruining the new tile, carpeting, or flooring. A good rule of thumb is to work on the infrastructure first — the foundation, electricity, plumbing, heating, and air conditioning. Then, work from the top down, starting with the roof and finishing with the floors. Likewise, depending on the location, you may need to schedule curb appeal renovations in the spring, summer, or fall — such as new landscaping or siding or a new roof.
