Adding value to your home
One of the most significant reasons homeowners think about remodeling their home is so they make more money at the time of sale. In fact, remodeling budgets are growing as homeowners expect to make back their remodeling costs at resale time. It should come as no surprise that homes with outdated kitchens and baths are much more challenging to sell and can stay remain unsold for a long period of time. However, selling is not the only motivating factor for home improvements.
Your home is an investment
A number of homeowners these days are opting to remodel their current homes instead of selling them off to buy better homes. This might have to do with the recession, whose consequences will continue to be experienced for a while. Just the time you save and hassle you avoid by remaining in your current home can make it a better option in the long run. When you renovate your home you get to make it just the way you want instead of trying to find what you want some place else. It is genuinely a less nerve-racking situation, and has a tendency to result in more satisfaction.
When it’s required
Occasionally, remodeling your home has to be done, particularly when you need to make more room for your expanding family. You may also need to enlarge your closet space to increase your storage area or make more efficient use of the available space. After the kids move away empty nesters often decide to use their kids’ rooms for something else. With all the rebates and tax incentives, eco-friendly remodeling is also a new trend. It allows you to increase the value of your home while saving money on energy bills and reducing your impact on your environment.

For one reason or another the importance of kitchen lighting can often times be overlooked. If you are not getting enough light you might want to consider moving the windows to allow more direct sunlight.
Young children or a growing family generally can increase the requirements of the kitchen and lead to necessary remodeling. Sometimes an outdated kitchen can even be a safety hazard for small kids if it included outdated designs and older appliances. If you want to host more parties in your home you may come to realize that you need to update to a more open kitchen plan to allow greater social interaction. You may also want to remodel your kitchen as you get older to make it less dangerous for you and others.
According to real estate professionals, the kitchen holds the greatest potential for swaying home buying decisions among potential buyers. This means that a stunning kitchen could very well be the difference between a quick sale and a home that lingers on the market. If you plan to renovate your kitchen, it is a good idea to make a list of the major and minor problems as well as the features you would like to add. Sometimes due to a limited budget you cannot make all of the improvements that you want to make that is why you need decide beforehand which things are a priority.
Bathroom
In recent years the trend has been to live in the same home for much longer. This has resulted in bathroom remodeling being more common not only for appearance, but for function. Staring at the same outdated look, and broken tiles first thing in the morning every day can eventually get to anyone. On top of that, broken fixtures and anything else that leaks water can result in bigger issues such as mold, and that is something you certainly don’t want to deal with.
Having a modernized, recently renovated bathroom can positively influence a potential buyers decision when viewing your home. Just like with kitchens, remodeling your bathroom can be viewed as an investment that will help your home sell more quickly at a higher price. However, many people today renovate their bathrooms simply to change its current appearance or create their own personal escape. When you want to unwind from a hectic day a custom built shower or bath tub can have a huge impact on your ability to relax and recharge.

With many different colors, styles and materials, countertops are one such item that can make a huge impact on the overall look of your home.
