Ready To Remodel?
Home remodeling can be done for various reasons, but there are a few significant reasons why homeowners in Woodburn are putting money aside to upgrade their homes.
Boosting the value of your home
One of the most significant reasons people think about remodeling their home is so they make more money at the time of sale. The current tendency is for larger remodeling budgets as homeowners recognize the chance to improve their roi when they sell their home. It should come as no surprise that homes with out-of-date kitchens and baths are much more challenging to sell and can remain on the market for a long period of time. However, selling is not the only reason for home upgrades.
Your home is an investment
When confronted with the undertaking of searching for another home, many homeowners recognize that remodeling their present home may be a more pragmatic alternative. Though the real estate market has rebounded, some of the effects of the recession are still being felt. However, staying in your existing home also has its perks, especially the fact that you avoid wasting time that you would have spent searching for a new house. Homeowners that opt for home renovation also are generally more pleased at the end of the day since they remain in what is more familiar to them.
When it’s required
If you have a expanding family, your house has to grow with it. That is when renovating is needed. It may be something as simple as needing more closet space, or trying to find the best layout to use the space you already have. But then, once your kids move out, you may decide to repurpose some of the rooms in your home. Green remodeling is another growing phenomenon that comes with tax breaks and rebates, in addition to reducing your energy bills and increasing your home value.

Kitchen
Outdated appliances, warped cabinets and damaged countertops are all signs that you may need to consider kitchen remodeling, but there are countless other reasons to upgrade your kitchen’s look. One major concern, for instance, is whether or not you are making the most efficient use of your available space. The best kitchens are the most functional, and this will be affected by factors such as the placement of your fridge or the shape and size of your countertop.
For some reason the importance of kitchen lighting can sometimes be ignored. Repositioning your windows, for instance, may let more natural light into the room.
Young kids or a growing family in general can increase the requirements of the kitchen and lead to essential renovation. Bear in mind that dated kitchen appliances and designs may be dangerous for small children. 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 get older you may decide to remodel your kitchen to increase its safety.
According to real estate professionals, the kitchen holds the greatest potential for swaying home buying decisions among prospective buyers. This means that a beautiful kitchen could very well be the difference between a quick sale and a home that lingers on the market. If you decide to renovate your kitchen the first step is to make a list of all the things that you want to fix, and their order of importance as well. 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
Since many homeowners are living in their homes longer, bathroom renovating is becoming more prevalent simply because issues arise that ultimately need repairing. Staring at the same dated look, and broken tiles first thing in the morning every day can ultimately get to anyone. Not to mention that bathroom fittings can break or leak and over time lead to much bigger issues. Water damage can be a pricey issue, and mold can lead to severe medical issues.
Having an updated, recently renovated bathroom can positively influence a potential buyers decision when viewing your home. Just like with kitchens, renovating your bathroom can be considered an investment that will help your home close more quickly at a much higher price. However, many people today remodel their bathrooms simply to change its current look or create their own oasis. A custom built bath tub or shower makes for a stress-free time when preparing for your day or unwinding from a hectic workday.
Basement
If you are fortunate enough to have a basement in your home, that suggests you have quite a bit of unfinished real estate at your fingertips, and you should make the most of it. Because it is very often left undone, actually finishing your basement can have a huge impact on your home’s value and draw in more possible buyers. A basement offers both functional and creative uses. The opportunities to utilize the space are almost unlimited. We can help you choose the best use of space. Since the space already exists, you might as well put it to use rather than waste it.
Get professional help
Basement remodeling can be a daunting task because in most cases it involves a lot of processes including plumbing, electrical, HVAC, drywall insulation and flooring. As such, it is vital to work with highly skilled pros like you would any other major renovating project. Despite the fact that it can be quite difficult, properly utilizing the space can change the entire feel of your home, increase its value, and improve your quality of life.
Countertop choices
When remodeling your kitchen or bathroom, you should consider the features that will give you the greatest value for your money. Your countertops are one such element, and the good news is that they are offered in as many materials, colors and finishes as you can envision. Some of the most popular countertop options that you could go for include granite, glass, butcher block, wood, cambria, marble, corian, concrete, laminate and soapstone.
There are several aspects such as maintenance, and durability that can help you narrow down which countertop choices are best for you. Having said that, you have to balance the overall performance of your countertops with appearance. Your countertops have to fit into the all around design look of your home. In addition, while every countertop component comes with its practical and aesthetic advantages, you still need to decide whether each fits into your space and budget. For instance, we can all agree that marble countertops are simply breathtaking. However, because of the premium price point they may not fit into every remodeling budget. Granite countertops, while just as beautiful also carry a similar price tag. Wood and concrete on the other hand can be a visually pleasing alternative which are much more budget friendly.
