 These steps offer a broad foundation in how to get started if you are thinking about renovating your home. Gather your ideas • Watch renovation shows (but don't trust the timelines as a lot can happen during commercials). • Visit web sites that show renovated areas which are similar to what you have in mind for your renovation. • Visit showhomes in the city to get ideas. • Research professional renovators to find one who has all the credentials with a proven track record.
