How to Decide it’s Time to Renovate Your Home

Home renovation projects are usually inspired to satisfy a need. Whether you need to update your home, you’re looking to sell, or you’ve made some lifestyle changes, your home should reflect those changes with a refreshed new look. But how do you know when it’s time to renovate your home?

At Flansburg Construction, LLC, we’ve helped countless homeowners transform their homes with a renovation project. Here’s the deciding factors that we’ve seen that tell you it’s time to renovate.

The Condition & Age of Your Home

If your home is a bit older, and possibly a bit dated, it may be the right move to renovate and bring it up to modern standards. Look for any signs of wear and tear, see which walls can be knocked down to open the space, or see if your appliances and cabinetry need to be updated. Your home is your biggest asset, and putting value into it only makes it more valuable.

Assess Your Lifestyle & Needs

Do you work from home and need adequate space for a home office? Do you like to entertain but your space is a bit cramped? There are plenty of lifestyle factors to take into consideration when deciding on renovating your home.

Adjusting for Family

Whether you’re expecting a child, or taking in a parent or in-law, it’s important to have the space to accommodate. Whether it’s adding an addition for more bedroom space, or converting the basement into an in-law suite, having the necessary space so everyone in your home is comfortable is important.

Renovating vs Buying New

Some people look to other houses on the market to get the inspiration to sell their home and move. However, why not keep your home and change it to your stylistic and functional needs? It’s important to assess your budget and factor in the costs of whether it makes fiscal sense to move or to simply renovate your home.

Preparing to Sell

If you want to get more bang for your buck when you put your house on the market, putting a little more work into can help you increase its resale value, allowing you to have more to use for your next home. Research what current homebuyers are looking for with their next purchase and factor in how you can make those changes in your home.

Improve the Personal Enjoyment of Your Home

Sometimes you don’t need a reason to renovate your home. You simply want to update so you can continue enjoying living where you live, but with an evolved style and design that you can be proud of.  Whether you want to update your bathroom for a spa-like experience, improve your kitchen to complement the delicious meals you cook, or designate an unused room for a specific purpose like a reading nook or gym, there are plenty of options to consider.
