The last couple of years have been increasingly busier for contractors as more and more homeowners find opportunities to improve their homes for various reasons. Remodeling your home does not have to be an expensive endeavor. Projects can be as simple and inexpensive as repainting your home’s exterior or replacing your entry door or more intensive like a bathroom or kitchen remodel. Here are some things that may motivate you to remodel your home:
1. Deterioration
If you have not made any upgrades to your rooms in years, then it’s likely that many components may be falling apart. From peeling countertops and cracked tiles to drafty windows and creaking doors to flaking paint and basement cracks. Remodeling an old home will not only enhance its aesthetics, but also make your rooms more comfortable.
2. Energy Savings
Reducing your utility costs can be a great motivator for remodeling your home. You can consider installing bay or bow windows or adding skylights to take full advantage of daylight and reduce the use of artificial light. Energy Star rated doors, windows, and appliances, as well as solar water heaters can also reduce your energy costs and help to conserve the environment.
3. Greater Value
Homeowners usually remodel their home to increase the value and/or marketability of the property. An updated kitchen or bathroom, a new entry door, or a fresh coat of exterior paint will be more attractive to potential home buyers compared to an old-looking home. The return on investment may not necessarily be 100 percent as it depends on various factors like the current market prices and level of the remodel.
