We believe the best way to continue to enjoy the home you already love is to remodel it and/or add living space to it. Let’s dive into some of the reasons you would want to give your home a refresh by remodeling:
It’s Time to Sell
If you’re looking to put your home on the market soon, remodeling and updating can greatly increase its resale value. Focus on the rooms potential buyers care most about – kitchens, bathrooms, and master bedrooms. Update fixtures, finishes, appliances, and layouts to reflect current trends. Add square footage if your home seems small by today’s standards. Remodel to neutral, timeless styles that appeal to the widest range of buyers. The investment in strategic renovations can yield huge returns when you sell.
Time to Retire
Are you looking ahead to retirement and staying put in your longtime home? Look at how you use your space and modify it suit your future lifestyle. Convert underutilized rooms like formal dining rooms into hobby rooms or home offices. Install grab bars, railings, comfort height toilets and other aging-in-place modifications. Open up floor plans and improve lighting and accessibility to create one-story living if managing stairs becomes difficult. Focus on low-maintenance materials and technologies to reduce household chores. Remodeling with retirement and aging in mind allows you to enjoy your home comfortably for years to come.
Personalize for How You Live
Over the years, homes can become ill-suited for our lifestyles as families grow and change. Remodeling lets you reclaim and customize your space. Finish basements into recreational rooms and home theaters for family fun. Add a bedroom, bathroom, or accessory unit above the garage to accommodate boomerang kids. Open up walls and doorways between existing rooms to improve flow. Upgrade storage, organization systems and smart home technology. The possibilities are endless when you remodel with your unique needs in mind.
Your Home Feels Stale
Do you feel like you’ve outgrown your decor? Does your home feel tired and out of date? Now is the perfect time for a refresh. Simple upgrades like new interior and exterior paint colors, modern light fixtures, hardware, and fixtures breathe new life into old homes. Splurge on showstopper focal points like statement kitchen backsplashes, stylish new flooring, contemporary tile, and eye-catching accent walls. Minor remodels revive homes into fresh, current spaces you’ll be excited to spend time in.
Be Wiser With Energy
Incorporating energy efficient systems and eco-conscious materials into your remodel aligns your home with your green values. Strategic upgrades save resources and money over time. Air seal and insulate to prevent energy loss and drafts. Install ENERGY STAR certified windows, appliances, lighting, and HVAC systems. Source sustainable materials like bamboo floors and quartz counters. Small changes add up to big energy savings and environmental benefits down the road.
Fell in Love with a Vintage Home
Old homes built with quality materials and architectural details have unmistakable character. While tackling necessary repairs or functional layout issues, take care to preserve original charm and features. Repair rather than replace wood floors, leaded glass windows and molding whenever possible. Design additions with sensitivity to existing architecture. Gutting everything erases coveted vintage appeal – update selectively instead for refreshed historic homes brimming with beloved quirks. Faithful restorations allow you to modernize flawed properties without stripping away coveted vintage spirit.
