Whether you are planning on using epoxy or another material for your renovation, these recommendations will help you to have the best experience possible when remodeling your home.
Before you make any design decisions, it is important to have a clear plan in front of you. Go through your home and ask yourself these questions:
What do I like and dislike about my home?
Take the time to consider what you dislike and like about your current style. Continue to use those aspects of the home you enjoy, and make sure to not repeat the designs that you now dislike. You don't want to repeat previous design mistakes that you may regret later on.
Which areas are the most important to me to remodel?

Will these projects affect my day-to-day life?

Get Inspired
Now that you have a better understanding of what you are looking to remodel, it’s time to get inspired. Collect photos of your desired look in your home, keeping in mind the time required for the different installation processes. For example, a new granite countertop can take a long time to locate, let alone install. An epoxy countertop that is customized to look like the expensive granite countertop you wanted is a better solution for many homeowners. Your existing countertops can quickly be resurfaced using epoxy and you also have the ultimate creative control of the process unlike with a stone countertop.
