Which one should i do first?
There are many aspects to consider when choosing which project should be started. The most important thing to consider when deciding which project to start is whether the structure is old or new. There are many factors to consider if the building is older, such as its roof, condition, windows, doors and flooring. When the building is new, there are many things to consider such as its location, size, number, style, and so forth.
If the building has an older roof, it is worth looking at the roof first. If it looks like the roof could collapse any minute now, you may want to start on the renovation. Next, you can check if your roof is okay. Next, check out the windows. Next, inspect the windows and make sure they are clean. After that, you can go through all the doors to make sure they are clear of any debris. If everything looks good, you can start to lay the flooring. Be sure to ensure that the flooring is stable and strong so that you can walk on it without slipping. The next step is to check the walls. Check the walls for cracks and damage. If the wall is intact, then you can move to the next step. The ceiling can be finished after the walls have been examined. You should inspect the ceiling to ensure that it can withstand any weight you put on it. If everything checks out, then you can move forward with your renovation.

Is it in good condition? If it doesn't look good, you need to fix it. Your home shouldn't look shabby. Next, make sure to check the foundation. You should repair any foundation that appears weak.

If it is dirty or messy, you need to clean it up. Next, you should inspect the appliances. You should make sure that they are in working order and in good condition. If they aren’t in great shape, then either you buy new ones or replace them. After this, check out the cabinets. You can paint them if the cabinets are stained or damaged. If they're in good condition, you can move on to the bathrooms. In here, you should check the toilet. If it leaks then it's time to replace it. If it's just dirty, then you should probably wash it. Next, inspect all fixtures. Make sure they're clean. If they're dirty, you need to clean them. You should also inspect the countertops. They should be repainted if they are chipped or cracked. If they are smooth and shiny, then you should probably use some kind of sealant.
