Adding value to your home
For many people, remodeling is a strategic move that is meant to maximize the value of their home so they get more when they resell their homes. The latest tendency is for more substantial remodeling budgets as homeowners recognize the opportunity to increase their return on investment when they sell their home. It should come as no surprise that homes with dated kitchens and baths are much more challenging to sell and can remain remain unsold for a long period of time. However, selling is not the only reason for home updates.
Investing in your home
When confronted with the task of looking for another home, many homeowners recognize that upgrading their present home may be a more pragmatic option. A lot of it probably has to do with the recession, whose effects will continue to be felt 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 term. When you upgrade your home you get to make it exactly the way you want as opposed to trying to find what you want some place else. It really is a less upsetting situation, and has a tendency to lead to more contentment.
When it’s essential
If you have a expanding family, your home has to grow with it. That is when remodeling is necessary. You may also have to enlarge your closet space to increase your storage area or make more effective use of the available space. After the kids move away empty nesters often decide to use their kids’ rooms for something else. Green renovation is another growing phenomenon that comes with rebates and tax incentives, in addition to reducing your energy bills and boosting your home value.

Kitchen
An outdated kitchen can negatively impact the perceived value of a home, not to mention decreasing its efficiency. The effectiveness with which you use your kitchen floor plan is always worth taking into consideration. The best kitchens are the most practical, and this will be affected by details such as the position of your refrigerator or the size and shape of your countertop.
Lighting is another crucial element in any kitchen. Repositioning your windows, for instance, may let more sunlight into the room.
Remodeling your kitchen would also be appropriate if you have kids or are in the process of expanding your family. Keep in mind that outdated kitchen appliances and designs may be unsafe for little ones. An open kitchen plan would also be a suitable option if you enjoy entertaining guests, allowing for greater interactions between rooms. But then, as you grow older you may decide to renovate your kitchen to increase its safety.
According to realtors, the kitchen holds the greatest potential for swaying home purchasing decisions among potential buyers. This means that a beautiful kitchen could very well be the difference between a quick sale and a home that remains on the market. If you plan to renovate your kitchen, it is a good idea to make a checklist of all the minor and major problems as well as the aspects you would like to add. If you cannot change everything you want to, it is important to prioritize and figure out what among your needs and wants is most important.
Bathroom
Since more homeowners are staying in their homes longer, bathroom upgrading is becoming more common simply because issues arise that ultimately need repairing. Staring at the same dated look, and chipped tiles first thing in the morning day after day can ultimately get to anyone. Not to mention that bathroom fittings can leak or break and in time lead to much more costly problems. Water damage can be an expensive issue, and mold can lead to serious health issues.
Potential buyers place a lot of significance on a remodeled bathroom. Just like with kitchens, renovating your bathroom can be considered an investment that will help your home sell more quickly at a higher price. However, many people today remodel their bathrooms simply to change its current appearance or create their own oasis. A custom built bath tub or shower makes for a stress-free time when preparing for your day or relaxing from a busy workday.

Countertop choices
When upgrading your bathroom or kitchen, you should consider the elements that will give you the greatest value for your investment. 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. Some of the popular countertop choices that you could go for include granite, glass, butcher block, wood, cambria, marble, corian, concrete, laminate and soapstone.
There are multiple elements such as maintenance, and durability that can help you pick out which countertop choices are right for you. You also need to make sure that the countertop you choose will match your design preferences. What’s more, while every countertop component comes with its aesthetic and practical features, you still need to figure out whether each fits into your space and more importantly budget. Marble is a sure winner among countertops, but its cost may not fit all budgets. Granite countertops, while just as beautiful also carry a similar price tag. Wood and concrete in contrast can be a visually pleasing alternative which are much more reasonably priced.
