Remodeling Planning Checklist
Before demo day, know what to expect and how to prepare. This guide helps you plan for a smooth, stress-free renovation.
Plan Smarter, Build Better
A great remodel doesn’t start with demolition — it starts with planning. But that doesn’t mean you’re left to figure it out alone.
Our checklist is designed to help you think through the right questions with guidance from our team every step of the way. We’ll handle the details, coordinate the moving parts, and make sure you always know what comes next.
Our goal: to remove the usual friction homeowners feel — and replace it with clarity, communication, and calm.
Planning ahead can save up to 25% in remodel costs.

REMODELING PLANNING CHECKLIST
What We’ll Work Through Together
According to the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), homeowners who invest in detailed pre-construction planning save 15–25% in unexpected costs and project delays.
That’s why Right Angle’s process starts long before construction begins — with collaboration, clarity, and shared vision.
When we plan together, your project runs smoother, faster, and with far fewer surprises. We don’t hand you a checklist — we walk through it with you.
Define Goals
We’ll talk through what matters most — functionality, aesthetics, resale value, or simply comfort.
Set a Realistic Budget & Timeline
We’ll guide you through the true cost of materials, labor, and finishes, and help you prioritize where to invest for the greatest long-term value.
Design Style
Bring inspiration, and we’ll help refine it. Our designers translate your preferences into a cohesive style that feels natural to your home — and true to you.
Permits & Logistics
Permitting, inspections, neighborhood approvals — we handle all of it. Our team ensures your remodel runs smoothly and stays fully compliant.
Prepare Your Home & Family
We’ll help you plan for the day-to-day during construction — from temporary setups to minimizing disruption. Our goal is to make sure you always feel informed, prepared, and comfortable.
Customer Reviews
Right Angle projects come with a 10-year craftsmanship warranty — a level of confidence few builders match.
Right Angle just completed construction of a new covered deck for our home. Trent and John did an outstanding job. Their attention to detail and accuracy was exceptional. Several times, they pointed out concerns and recommended adjustments before we were even aware of the issues.
Doug Hutcherson, Lexington KY
Amazing service, amazing work, amazing people. Daniel and his team are the cream of the crop. Jason and Corey not only did top-tier work, they are top-notch people. They were reliable, on-time, hard-working, finished ahead of schedule, and kept our home as tidy as possible while they worked.

The Right Angle Way
Most remodels feel reactive. Ours feels guided. You’ll have a clear plan, a steady timeline, and a team who keeps you informed every step of the way.
Because remodeling shouldn’t feel overwhelming — it should feel exciting.
