Does home maintenance have you feeling a little overwhelmed? If you have a lot of projects to cover, you may not know how to choose which to do first. Here’s a checklist of items to consider when prioritizing projects:

  • Overall cost
  • Your budget
  • The urgency of the project
  • Which project most increases your quality of life
  • Whether you’ll need to hire a professional
  • Your own DIY skills, availability and interests

When it comes to tackling a decision, it’s best to make a list of all of the projects you’re preparing. Make sure to prioritize them by a list of different qualities. You can narrow down projects more easily when you know which you need to finish first and which fall in line with your budget.
