Home renovations can add value and improve functionality, but without proper planning, they can also be stressful. Whether you’re remodeling a kitchen, upgrading a bathroom, or renovating an entire home, preparation is key.
Steps to Take Before Starting Your Renovation
✅ Check Local Building Codes & Permits – The City of Philadelphia’s Licenses and Inspections (L&I) Department provides guidelines on when a permit is required for renovations. Check Philadelphia permit requirements
✅ Inspect Your Home for Lead & Asbestos – If your home was built before 1978, lead paint or asbestos may be present. The EPA has strict guidelines for handling these hazardous materials. Read the EPA’s lead safety guidelines
✅ Create a Budget & Timeline – The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) offers budgeting tools and home improvement financing resources. Explore HUD’s home renovation assistance
