Recreational Room Steps
Use this 6-Step Home Remodeling "Quick Guide" to review designs for a home recreation room. It assembles information you may need and outlines it using a step-by-step review.
Step 1: Analyze the Numbers
Before you remodel or redecorate your recreational room, run some financial numbers to determine whether your project is a smart investment.
The numbers include the estimated costs, home value assessment, financing costs, and other related calculations.
Review cost-related issues to design a home recreation room (remodeling) vs. buying a new home.

Step 3: Plan the Needed Specs
Step 3 is sketching your ideas on paper (or digitally) and developing the spec plan.
The spec plan determines what type of home recreational design considerations that will be needed. It will also contain the product specifications for each design element such as design layout, spacing, game tables, sound system, room development, decor, other.
You will use the spec plan and architectural design to bid the project out to home contractors.

Step 4: Find Home Contractors
Step 4 is finding and negotiating the project with a home contractor or interior designer.
Give your remodeling ideas and specs to a contractor for review and bid analysis.
Use our local network (aligned with HomeAdvisor) to find the right person for your project.

Step 5: Financing Your Project
Step 5 is arranging financing once you select the interior design for your home recreation.
Using the equity value in your home is one of the best financing option for home improvement. Start with a home equity line of credit or a bank equity program.
Other options may include cash-out refinancing, personal savings, and/or financing from home improvement contractors.

Step 6: Manage the Project
Step 6 is where the project begins.
It starts with setting up the work area, installing everything that needs to be implemented, spacing, setup, decor, etc.
It also means working with the contractor, managing the project, and getting the remodeling project inspected before releasing any funds.
