Do I need to be ready to start renovating to use this guide?

Not at all. In fact, this guide is perfect for anyone in the early stages of thinking about a renovation. Whether you’re still tossing around ideas or waiting for the right time to begin, it will help you get clear on your goals, understand the process and avoid the mistakes many homeowners make when they rush in unprepared.
