Why You Should Repair Your Foundation Before a Remodel

A proper home remodeling is all about precision additions and the home has some strong bones. With that in mind, it’s always best to make sure your home’s foundation is at 100% before starting any remodel.

Why would foundation repair affect a remodel  

Foundation repair affects the very support structure of your home. If your foundation needs repair that likely means that there are walls, doorways, windows, and other structural parts of the home that are not in their appropriate place. Foundation repair fixes the issues by re-strengthening the supports that were previously failing. This causes the walls that were dropping, floors sagging, windows that jamming, etc., and other issues to be resolved.

If you perform a remodel before the foundation repair, the changes to your home will fit the state that it is in at the time. Meaning if you apply changes to a wall that is saggins the remodel will also be in that position. If you were to then perform a repair to the foundation it’s possible that the repair may damage the new additions because the repair affects the position of the walls, floors, windows, and more.
