Sooner or later, every home needs updating either to fit a change in ownership, taste or new lifestyle. While the size and scope of your project will determine the cost and timeline, the purpose alone will determine whether your home is in need of a remodel or a renovation.
Knowing when your home needs a renovation and when it needs a remodel
Knowing when your home needs a remodel versus a renovation isn’t as complicated as some would have you think. It all depends on what your goals are for your home. If your objective is to drastically change the look or function of a space, that is considered remodeling. Examples include expanding a kitchen, updating a master bath or knocking out a wall for an open floor plan. The point is that you’re transforming the space’s size, layout or purpose.
On the other hand, if your objective is to restore or repair existing features, then what you’re looking for is a renovation. A renovation is often a necessity compared to a remodel because the purpose isn’t to change anything, but to fix outdated or broken fixtures. Examples include swapping out old appliances, updating the plumbing or electrical, or replacing destroyed flooring. The idea is that you are not changing the space, but restoring its livability.
