This Renovation resource page was put together to help homeowners who are planning, in the process of, or dealing with the aftermath of major renovations and remodels. These information sources are especially pertinent for homeowners who are hiring professionals to implement their renovations.
If you are in the planning phase, we highly recommend starting with these 3 articles:
- How to Start a Successful Renovation

- What to Include in a Renovation Contract
We also recently launched our unique Homeowner Glossary that is an easy read to grasp important concepts not found elsewhere.
