Waco homeowners, a good remodel starts before the first wall even comes down.
Taking on a DIY project?
Here are 3 tips to help you get a better finished result:
1️⃣ Plan beyond the demolition.
Measure your space, choose your materials, and write out the order of your work. Include time for drywall finishing, painting, and trim so you’re not rushing the details at the end. A little planning goes a long way.
2️⃣ Get the drywall ready before opening the paint.
Let the joint compound dry as directed before sanding. Smooth out ridges, remove the dust, and prime new drywall before painting. The prep work matters just as much as the paint color. You don't want seems showing through the paint!
3️⃣ Test your wood stain first.
Before staining trim or beams, try it on an offcut from the wood you’re using or a hidden spot. The same stain can look different from one board to another. A small test can save a lot of rework. This will save you time and headaches.
