This is top for a good reason. There are several reasons you should renovate your home, and your enjoyment and comfort are factors that should not be overlooked. If you renovate based on making a profit on any future sales, you might find that you feel like you are living in a show home rather than a place that feels like home. If you want to best of both worlds speak to your architects and they will be able to help you make improvements that are both practical and enjoyable.
To Make Sure It’s Safe
Some renovation projects can’t be left. Things like any electrical problems, a crack int eh foundations, or a leaking roof are just a few of the problems that must be looked at with urgency. They will help to keep your home safe and prevent any future damages.
To Increase The Value Of Your Home
If you want to sell the house you are living in over the next few years, then renovating part or all of your home may help to increase the return on your initial investment. If you want to get the best price possible on the market then some reno projects are in order. Think about opening up the living space, replacing the front door, and updating the bathroom and kitchen.
To Improve The Functionality
Maybe you need a second bathroom, a playroom, or need more space so you can chase the kids around without running into walls. Maybe you need a study so you can now work from home or may you want to make your garden a proper part of your home. Renovating allows you to improve the functionality of your home, and as long as the change add value and creates usable space the worlds your oyster.
An upflush macerating toilet system can help you with that. Raising a child is enjoyable, but it can be costly to provide them with the best.

That is because it can process gray water coming from your shower, sink, or bath and use minimal water to flush, helping you save on your water bills. Your savings from that can go toward your child’s educational funds.

If I could change things in my apartment, I’d make the bathroom more handicap accessible and the kutchen ,too, for that matter.

Lord, Dad picked lilac for the hallway in the old house. I mean Dad wouldn’t care if he had odd socks on!

I’d like to change a few things around here. I wish the walls weren’t all plain white… but I rent, so I can’t change anything.
Kate Sarsfield
I’ve got rid of all the dated and personal choice colours (not everyone likes lilac!) and gone for white walls, taken down family pictures & wacky ornaments and souvenirs. If the buying public don’t like it now I shall curl up & cry.

Neutral, neutral, neutral– lol. They say, when you sell a house, everything has to be shades of white, gray, tan…
Rosie
This is what my neighbor did. I adore lavender, but know not to do it now. I need to get my place ready to sell, and need to paint. I’m surprised I’m having a hard time picking what would be best for getting a sale, other than knowing neutral, but you still have to figure out for the existing tile or flooring etc. what will go with it.

These are all great reasons to renovate. Thanks for sharing.

Many good reasons to renovate, many needs can be better met with a few modern fixes in some cases.

Nice list. We have two reasons not to – they are aged 3 and 5!
Dana Rodriguez
We really need to do some repairs here. Hard to find the time.

Did a major overhaul of my kitchen almost 2 years ago. I’m debating about my master bath – it’s hard renovating when you’re retired.
Tamra Phelps
If I were to update this place, which I won’t since I rent, lol, I’d make it more handicap accessible. When you spend part of your time in a wheelchair, you really notice how everything is out of reach!

Being at home so much lately, it really needs to be freshened up and updated
dana
Did a big reno of my kitchen that was completed a year ago. Been really enjoying it. Trying to decide if I should move onto the master bath.

This is a good list. I used to think it is better to do a reno closer to when you move in, but reno’s can look dated in a decade, so may be better to do mid- or later- before you want to sell, but you probably won’t recoup all your costs, sometimes, but there are tables that show estimated cost and ROI, usually less than 100%, but you can sell faster, saving taxes, insurance, and potential liability from people coming onto your property. I have replaced appliances, etc., but not renovated, I’d love to, but don’t have the funds.
