Plan your way to a successful renovation

Whether it’s upgrading old systems, repairing problems or just adapting your home to suit changes in your family’s lifestyle, most homeowners will eventually need to carry out a renovation. With a little careful planning, you can make sure your renovation is a success, and make your home look better, work better, last longer – and be more comfortable.

If you’re thinking about renovating your home, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) has a variety of questions you should ask yourself before you start work, such as:

  • Are there any significant underlying problems in the condition of your home that need to be addressed before or during your renovation project?
  • How will changing a particular part or component of your home affect the performance of the house as a whole?
  • For your foundation, are there any cracks, damage, damp spots, white or chalky stains, or blistered paint on the concrete, finished walls or floors?
  • Are there any signs of moisture problems in the basement or attic, such as high humidity, water stains and dampness, mold or rot?
  • Are your heating or cooling bills unusually high, or do you find your house too dry, too humid – or simply uncomfortable?
  • Are the mechanical and electrical systems sufficient for both your current and future needs?
  • Is there any water seepage around kitchen or bathroom fixtures, windows or toilets, or leaks from pipes, taps, toilets or the water heater?
  • Are your floors or stairs springy, sagging, warped, squeaky or damaged?
  • Do your walls or ceilings have any cracks, holes, bulges, water stains or peeling finishes?
  • Are any doors or windows drafty, broken, operating poorly or sticking?
  • Does the roof have any curled or cracked shingles, bare patches, leaks, moss or damaged flashing?
  • Finally, is there any blistered paint, rotted wood, buckled siding, stained or crumbled brick or damaged stucco on the exterior walls?
