Getting the ball rolling on any project often takes more energy than it should. When you do get things rolling you really want to be organized enough to keep up the pace. In the home rehabbing business, this seems to be common difficulty. Many times the most glaring issue that is wrong with a home is not easily discovered.

Creating a logical step by step repair plan with a time-line will help tremendously. If you have a contractor, consult him and set a deadline for repairs. Can you get this or that done is a set period of time? A month? Once this time-line is understood, make an effort to finish the project before or on the deadline.

First thing you should do is create a time-line for repairs. If you have a contractor, consult him and set a deadline for repairs. Can you get this or that done is a set period of time? Ten to twelve days? After you establish these time lines then you can work hard to meet that deadline and continue through each one.

Now, it is time for the demolition. This is the stage where you clean the property. This can be as extensive as removing a wall or completely gutting a kitchen. This can be as simple as carpets and padding to removing lathe and plaster. You may even want to update the furnace or air conditioner. If these are still working, you can sell them to surplus shops or neighbors. The money can always go toward something in your own project. If the old paint needs to be scraped, then it will go as well.

Now, on to the bigger types of issues. Your projects will never have a budget big enough to anticipate all the repairs you want to do. Keeping a list that tracks your most important repairs and accounts for them first will help you stay on budget. Anything structural must be taken care of first and by a licensed professional. After that you focus on the obvious cosmetic repairs. Anything to do with any substance or material that directly support the roof is considered a structural repair.

The HVAC (heating, ventilating, and air conditioning) will be carried out next. Plumbing and electrical systems must be updated if necessary. Completing your finish work is where you want to end up the process. Cosmetic changes may include updating light fixtures, new mop boards and any repainting that needs to be done.
