Taxes

You’ll be on the hook for any taxes involved in hiring laborers and purchasing materials and fixtures. Unfortunately, most homeowners are not eligible for tax breaks when it comes to home renovations. However, you could be entitled to some tax breaks if you’re putting in a home office or upgrades related to medical care or energy efficiency. Tax breaks are also available for those renovating a home with the intent of making it suitable for renters.

Upgraded Appliances

$200 to $10,000

Living Spaces During Renovation

You have to live somewhere during the renovation, which can be a source of frustration in the case of a whole-home project. In most cases, you’ll be able to find a corner of the home to sleep in, but you may not have access to a bathroom or a functioning kitchen. Also, the HVAC system could be turned off, leaving you at the mercy of the elements. In other words, it’s time to book a hotel for the duration of the project.

The prices of a hotel fluctuate depending on where you live and how long you’re staying. Talk to your pro as they may have a contact to save some money.

Floor Plan Changes

$750 at the bare minimum, with a price range that stretches to around $7,000 at the high end.

Interior Design

$5,200, on average, and these pros charge anywhere from $50 to $500 per hour, depending on experience level.

How to Pay for a Home Renovation

This is the big question. Home renovation is expensive, particularly if you’re doing more than one room or are drastically changing the layout of the property. Paying for these projects can be a real cause of worry. The typical way in which whole-home renovations are paid for is via financing of some kind, as there are plenty of companies that specialize in home renovation loans or home equity credits. That’s the most common option, though it’s not the only one.

Tips for Creating a Home Renovation Budget

Beyond a bank loan or a similar setup with a financial institution, there are other ways to pay for home renovation projects.

• Save, save, save: This sounds obvious, but saving money ahead of time can really help ease the financial burden of a renovation project. The amount you need to save depends entirely on the scope of the project . However, saving ahead of time ensures you don’t get over your head when it comes time to hand over that credit card.

• Use those credit cards: If there was ever a time to indulge in some good old-fashioned debt accumulation, it’s when renovating a home. Break out those credit cards and charge as much as you can. Paying a monthly credit card bill will likely hurt less than shelling out thousands upon thousands of dollars all at once.
