Should You Remodel Your Home or Move?
Are you feeling antsy in your home but aren’t sure you want to take on this unpredictable real estate market? We completely understand. The good news is that you might not have to move – maybe a home renovation would be the change you need.
To help you decide if you should move or renovate, let’s look at some of the most common reasons we hear homeowners say they need a change and see if a renovation would solve their problem.
Your Home Is Outdated
If you feel like you’re walking back in time when you come home, you don’t need to pack up and leave. Remodeling an outdated home can be a fun way to freshen up the house and allow your style to shine.
A small update like taking out old flooring and replacing it with new luxury vinyl or wide plank hardwood will immediately make the space feel more on-trend. Significant updates like a complete kitchen remodel will be even better and can completely change how you feel about your home.
Your Family Is Growing
Has your family grown since you bought your house? Maybe you have some kids, or you had to take in your aging parents. Either way, now it seems like there is not enough space, and you want a larger home.
If you have the space, we could add on to your home. You can build an upstairs loft to provide an extra lounge or living area. You could convert a garage space into a bedroom – you might have more possibilities than you think! However, if adding on to your home is not an option, it may be time to consider moving.
You Need More Storage
If you feel like your home is always a cluttered mess, you may think a larger home would solve that issue. But, you probably don’t need more space – you just need more storage.
Adding built-ins to your living room will give you extra cabinet space where you can keep linens and toys. Adding pull-out shelves to the kitchen cabinets will help keep your pots, pans, and serving dishes in order and optimize the space you already have.
You’d Like More Privacy
Have you realized that you need more privacy? It’s a common problem we’ve been hearing a lot, especially now that folks are working or going to school from home. We’ve noticed that the trendy open concept home is not conducive to our new remote world. The good news is it is pretty easy to change.
Creating a semi-open concept home can be done, and it won’t necessarily make your home lose the open, spaciousness you initially wanted. Instead of moving to a new home, we can add walls or dividers to give your home designated zones. The different zones in your home will give you more privacy, so you can hop on a zoom call while your kids watch a movie.
