PLAN: Before diving headlong into a renovation project, do an assessment:
• What are your wants and needs?
• How soon do you want the look you want?
• What do you have to keep and what can be removed?
• How much money do you want to spend?
After answering these questions, you should have enough information to begin creating a budget.

TAKE INTO ACCOUNT
• CONTRACTOR: After researching professionals in your area, you will receive estimates from various contractors. The quality of the work and the material can vary.
• APPROVALS: If local building codes require permits for your renovation project, it is important to secure these documents before beginning. Permits help keep you safe and make life easier for contractors.

DIY OR PROFESSIONAL: It is recommended that you consult a contractor about your kitchen renovation. When you have someone who is knowledgeable about plumbing, electrical and demolition work, the process will be smooth and safe.

HELOC: A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is the most popular option for financing a home renovation project. A HELOC takes advantage of the appraised value of your home and makes it easy for a lender to offer you a low interest rate.

Even a small kitchen remodel can add value to your home. With proper planning, budgeting, and research, you can avoid frustrating and costly mistakes. If your home could use an upgrade, consider speaking to a UW Credit Union loan partner.
