You should always be searching for new ways to improve the look and feel of your property. Even if you have lived in the same home for 30 years, there are always going to be minor and major things that you could do to boost your property’s value and provide you and your family with a nicer home.

On average, homeowners will spend between 1% and 4% of a home’s value on annual maintenance and repair needs. Whether you’re improving something that’s faulty inside your home or if you’re planning on adding a new addition, you need to be careful, however, because there are so many mistakes that can be easily made and end up causing all kinds of financial and structural problems.

From not hiring roofing contractors during rooftop projects to skipping residential inspections, here are some common household renovation mistakes that you should avoid at all costs:

• Skipping residential inspection — You should schedule every kind of household inspection to ensure that nothing else is going on before, during, and after any renovation project. Structural inspections, roofing inspections, electrical inspections, termite inspections, HVAC inspections, plumbing inspections, and more are essential for a quality home.
• Not working with professional home improvement contractors — Unless you have years of experience performing various household remodeling projects, you likely will ruin your home and your bank account. Professional roofing contractors, for instance, can quickly and effectively revamp your entire home’s roof. If you to perform your roofing maintenance needs yourself, you could end up injuring yourself and destroying your roof.
• Being afraid to change a room’s layout — Take a look around your home. If you love the way a room or area looks but want to change things up a bit, don’t be afraid to adjust the layout. Conversely, you should never force yourself to live with an awkward kitchen, bedroom, or bathroom just because it’ll save money by avoiding renovations. You can move toilets, kitchen islands, anything with the right help.
