Double glazing quotes: Set a budget for renovation work

Double glazing quotes: Set a budget for renovation workPeople who are looking for double glazing quotes should set a realistic budget for renovation work, an expert has advised.When people are considering renovation work, such as installing double glazing quotes, they should be careful to set a realistic budget, an expert has advised.

Industry commentator Bryan Baeumler, from QMI Agency, told Home & Garden readers that planning is an essential part of home improvement.

He advised that pencilling in time and money to cover any unexpected mishaps is important to avoid the dangers of "project creep".

Mr Baeumler said: "Decide how much you are willing and able to spend, and set aside at least 15 per cent of your budget for contingencies – more if you live in an older home."

Refurbishment is a "fluid" process, Mr Baeumler explained, and often unexpected repairs can cause delays which could have poor consequences if no emergency planning has been made.

Earlier this month, broadcaster James Max said that there has "never been a better time" to carry out DIY projects, as investing in features such as double glazing quotes and kitchen quotes will improve the attractiveness of a property for potential buyers.
