We’ve spent the past year renovating our home with the goal of making it perfect for the new owner. The first step was to get a great contractor to design the space and show us exactly what it would look like once we got it all done. It’s taken us five months to do so, and we’ve already found that we’ve gotten more work done than we’ve expected.
We have a lot of remodeling to do this year, but we have a few things to fix and clean up before we can begin. We need to remove the carpet and get the rooms ready for paint, but more importantly we need to get the walls and ceiling painted. It is one of the most tedious parts of the renovation process. It takes hours for us to drag out the heavy machinery, and even then we sometimes break something.
Painting is one of those projects that seems to have homeowners pretty stumped. I think it is because painting your home is one of those things if you get wrong, you can’t really hide it. Paint covers a lot of the surface of your home’s interior and exterior, so it will obviously impact your decor.
Buying or building a new home, you would think would eliminate the painting stress, but it can actually be the very thing that causes it. Among the many decisions that a new homeowner has to make during construction, choosing paint colors can be the most difficult. I know this because I get asked a lot, plus the Google search terms “should I paint my new construction home?” is one of the most frequent ones that lead people to our website. It goes beyond just choosing colors.
Links are one of the three major ranking factors in Google. So if you want your website’s pages to rank high in search, you will almost certainly need links. Google (and other search engines) look at links from other sites as “votes.” These votes help them identify which page on a given topic (out of thousands of similar ones) deserves to be ranking at the very top of the search results.

It would seem that improving our home is one thing that many people are looking into. But getting the work done on your own home may be a lot more difficult than you think. There are many options here.
One of the most popular ideas is to hire a professional contractor to do the work. And I have to admit, I’ve done some DIY home improvement projects on my own in the past. They tend to be messy and expensive, but then you realize that there is a lot more to it than “cutting corners”.
As a general rule, the more time you have, the more skilled and experienced the contractor should be. You also need to budget the money you need to spend on a contractor, and this can be a big factor. For example, I recently spent $10,000 for a home renovation that was supposed to take 10 hours. It didn’t.
