A remodel is usually a lot more extensive than a home renovation. When you’re remodeling this means the addition of a shower to the bathroom, or changing the format of your kitchen. A renovation is more of a “fix-up”. This could be repairing broken tiles, or painting kitchen cabinets.

Below are some tips to help you decide whether you need a renovation, or a remodel, to make your home more functional, and aesthetically appealing.
Home Renovation Explained
You could think of renovating and restoring, as the same thing. A renovation is taking parts of your home, like your kitchen or bathroom, then repairing and enhancing them. This could mean a few things, like,
- Painting
- Refacing cabinets
- Installing new light fixtures
- Replacing flooring or repairing cracked tiles
- Updating faucets and cabinet knobs
These small details may seem insignificant, but they can have a huge impact on your home’s look, functionality, and value. A fresh coat of paint can brighten up a room and make it appear brand new.
Minor changes, even down to your doorknobs, will enhance your home’s interior design. So if your home feels like it needs a bit of a pick-me-up, but you don’t have the budget, time, or other recourses for a remodeling job, that’s okay. Home renovations can transform your home, into something beautiful that accommodates the needs of you and your family.

This could mean natural stone countertops, updated cabinetry, the addition of an island, or just an all-around more modern design. Your kitchen should be warm and welcoming.

Bathroom Remodeling
The next room you may want to focus on is the bathroom. Energy-efficient upgrades are very appealing to home buyers these days. Minus the compromise that energy-efficient applications may have, like weak water pressure.
Other bathroom remodeling elements you may want to tackle, are vanity upgrades, and new plumbing fixtures. Old plumbing fixtures can really stand out and make take away from the aesthetic appeal of your bathroom.
What Is A Whole-Home Remodel?
A whole-home remodel is pretty much what it sounds like. Its remodeling various rooms in your home, or adding a room. When you’re remodeling your whole home, and extensive, detailed plan is absolutely necessary.
You don’t want to be halfway done with your remodel and realize you have to change something significant, which sets back your completion date. With a plethora of remodeling experience, our contractors will suggest ideas that you may not have put to much thought to.
For example, if there are still plastic water pipes in your home, you may want to upgrade to cast iron. Upgrading to cast iron, will muffle the noise of the water flowing through the pipes, so you can enjoy a more quiet home.
