this is my 1st rehab and i need a little help on the order to do my repairs so i dont get myself in a bind later on. heres my list.
—outside—
small foundation work
new breaker boxes(and a little rewiring)
paint all outside, replace rotted wood
landscapping
—inside—
new sheetrock in living
refinish hardwoods
texture walls
paint in every room
tile and countertops in kitchen
5 new doors
replace 2 windows
tile and sink in bathroom
new baseboards and crown molding in whole house
new fixtures-fans, door knobs, light fixtures, etc.
Ah…OK - here’e how I’d do it…opinions and actual mileage may vary…
—outside—
(1) small foundation work
(2) new breaker boxes(and a little rewiring)
(3) paint all outside, replace rotted wood
(4) landscapping
(3) and (4) could go in either order or simultaneously. You want to do the foundation first (so that you don’t screw up work you’ve already done) and the landscaping last (so that you don’t trample your plantings paining, etc.)
—inside—
replace 2 windows
new sheetrock in living
5 new doors
tile and countertops in kitchen
tile and sink in bathroom
texture walls
refinish hardwoods
new baseboards and crown molding in whole house
paint in every room
new fixtures-fans, door knobs, light fixtures, etc.
Inside and outside work can be simultaneously or may be weather dependent.
Obviously, you want to do any wiring/plumbing rough-in before sheetrock and painting…you might want to replace windows before painting the outside.
It’s mostly commonsense. Don’t do anything that would cause you to redo something you’ve already done!
