The “trim-out” stage
Finished with the rough-in stage? Have you gotten all the wires measured and stapled in? Ready for the plyboards to cover it up, a fresh coat of paint afterwards perhaps? Ah, then you are in the “trim-out” stage. This can be the longest time into your remodeling season as you are now looking and figuring out how things will make their visual appeal.
You’ve got the function team done with making your home work for you, now you need to retain a few while bringing in a fresh team to look at design. I wouldn’t scrimp on getting the best people that your money can afford. Remember you will dwell in that house everyday so you NEEEEED to hire a professional to take care of important stuff like color harmony, placements/boundaries, a feng sui expert perhaps? Whatever works for you.
I’ve seen too many home remodeling projects take the longest time here. Some families get caught moving in too soon because of trim-out issues. It both has its pros and cons, but I think once you move in it leaves little chance to focus. Because by that time you’re already running the house with what you’ve got.
If you can wait before moving in, that would work best. This is an important stage, so hold-off until you can.
