Choosing to renovate your home is an exciting (and big!) decision. As wanted or necessary as an upgrade may be, you might be feeling hesitant to put your hypothetical plans into action. If you’re going back and forth on whether it’s the right time for a home remodel, take a look at some common reasons that our customers choose to renovate their homes and see if anything resonates with you.
It’s Not Bringing You Joy (Or You’re Looking to Sell)
If your home is no longer bringing you joy, it can be a sign that a renovation is in order—or that it’s time to put it on the market. Your space is where you spend so much of your time, and it should be both to your taste and highly functional. If your home is outdated, renovating will renew your enjoyment of the space and increase its value. Whether you’re looking for a whole house remodel or want to focus on a specific area, the contractors at Straight Line Construction can help you upgrade your aesthetic and your listing price.
There’s Clear Damage
Most homes experience wear-and-tear over the years. Some things are easy to fix yourself, like scuffed up paint or broken fixtures. But other things, like water damage, are more challenging to handle on your own. If you’re looking to sell your house, it’s important to fix any visible problems before listing. Go around your house and mark any imperfections with blue tape so that you don’t forget to address them. Whether you’re looking for quality DIY products or a contractor to help you upgrade your space, the home renovation professionals at Straight Line Construction can help.
Your Family is Growing
If you’re welcoming a new baby to your family, congratulations! You’ve probably already been thinking about some changes you might want to make around your home to prepare for the baby’s arrival. If your space is already the perfect size for your family, these may be small DIY projects, like painting the nursery and baby-proofing. But if you’re needing a little extra wiggle room with the new kiddo, don’t be intimidated to discuss a larger home renovation with a contractor. At Straight Line Construction, we can help you evaluate costs, what’s possible for your home, and what the timeline would look like.
You Need Improved Accessibility
Whether it’s you or a loved one who is beginning to require increased accessibility in the home, this is a safety concern that should be taken care of as soon as possible. Talk to a contractor to help prioritize projects that will increase the comfort and safety of your home in the short term. The bathroom is a great place to start, as this is where 80% of falls occur for those 65+. Learn more about aging in place remodeling in our recent blog.
