If your plans for your home involve significant renovations or remodeling, it is typically best to hire an architect or professional designer.

Professional designers can create the plans you need to make sure your project is a success.
If you are going to put in any paneling, paint some stripes on the walls. Regardless of how much care and caution you use when putting up paneling, old walls have a tendency to peek through. To avoid this, you can measure the places the sheets of paneling will connect. If you paint the wall to match the paneling, you will not see any cracks in between the panels.
Prevent creaks and squeaks in wood flooring with construction adhesives. You may have to work in tight spots but your efforts are well worth it. With a caulking gun, place a line of construction glue along the sides of each floor joist, allowing the glue to secure each adjoining subfloor plank to your joists.
A good place to start home renovation is the kitchen. A great place to start is by cleaning any grease stains off the walls. A water and TSP solution will usually remove these stains. You can get off any dirt or grease. Apply tan hues to the kitchen, and the transformation will amaze you.
