Are you thinking about home remodeling only to ask yourself whether it will be worth it? You may wonder how a renovation can enhance the value of your home or even your day-to-day comfort.

In-fact, remodeling often goes beyond redefining the face of the home. But how do you know if a remodeling project would yield the highest Return of Investment (ROI)?

Habermehl Contracting discusses how it can be a wise investment, let’s dive in.

Increased Property Value

When selling a house, many home improvement projects, including kitchen remodeling, adding a bathroom, and completing a basement, give a high return on investment (ROI). Remodeling can benefit your property as buyers look for homes already fitted with the amenities demanded today, meaning they will pay for remodeling.

For instance, kitchen and bathroom remodeling projects are also said to deliver some of the highest ROI. It becomes apparent how a new model kitchen looks, with new appliances and brand new countertops, which will help boost the overall look of your home, let alone a newly renovated bathroom that will help add style and convenience. 

Add more space 

Renovation can involve expanding the quantity of the living area and, therefore, making the house comfortable, useful, and expensive. 

Here are a few ways that adding space can benefit both your lifestyle and home’s value:

• Finishing a Basement: The popular feature in most houses is the basement, which is usually left incomplete. With some remodeling, this space can be retrofitted to serve as a family room, home theater, home gym, or even an additional bedroom for guests. 
• Converting an Attic: Transforming an attic into a livable space is ultimately worth it. You might have a tiny home office, an extra bedroom, or a storeroom, and using this overlooked area can dramatically transform your home atmosphere without having to engage in a large-scale remodeling project.
• Building an Addition: Now and then, it only makes sense to go up because that’s when you realize how beneficial building out can be. Whether you need additional space for a growing family, storage, or just to convert an area for other purposes – extending can give you the required space.

A house with more space can quickly be sold to prospective buyers since it has better facilities than a smaller house, especially for sale. When you invest in an addition for a remodeling job, then that is an investment in the future that may be needed some time later down the road.

Time-Saving and Convenience

Your activities will also be facilitated when your home is either newly built or has been renovated with consideration to your activities and requirements. An efficient floor plan, new appliances, and added storage significantly impact time management at home.

For instance, remodeling a kitchen will make preparing and cooking food easier by improving the number of commodities, storage, organizational forms, and appliances. Likewise, creating a home office or workstation as a separate room or a multifunctional facility will allow you to avoid distractions associated with transitioning from one room to another to get to the workplace. 

Improved Maintenance and Durability

Remodeling is a wise investment because it can significantly affect your home’s maintenance and longevity. Of course, years pass and wear out your home, and some of the materials used earlier are less efficient than they used to be. 

Upgrade processes give appeal and attractiveness to any kind of house and guarantee its construction using the best methods in the coming years.

• Replacing Old Roofing and Siding: If not replaced, roofs and sidings degrade and become worn out, exposing your house to rain and other challenges. If they are made up of parts vulnerable to damage, you may be forced to do expensive refurbishments in the future.
• Upgrading Plumbing and Electrical Systems: Remodeling allows replacing old plumbing and electrical systems with new and upgraded ones. This eliminates any chances of having a plumbing problem in the future or even an electrical problem that may be fatal.
• Choosing Long-Lasting Materials: Sturdy items such as wooden floors, granite worktops, or powdered glass windows will not require frequent replacements during a home’s renovations, ensuring the house is maintained for as long as necessary.

There is no argument living in a home protected from natural disasters also means substantial monetary and time savings because less frequent and costly repairs would be needed.

Personalization and Style

The need for remodeling proves to be a wise investment in realizing individual preferences and improving living space comfort. Having an area that fits your personality and interests can add something extra to the relationship with the place where you live, making it a fundamental part of you. 

Another advantage is that you can pick the appropriate colors, materials, design, and facilities for your taste, making you feel comfortable, motivated, and suitable at home.

This is because when you remodel a house, you can put as much effort into each room as you like, from the custom cabinets in your kitchen to the flooring choice to the unique features such as shelving or fancy light fixtures.

Enhanced Safety and Accessibility

Remodeling homes also effectively improves safety and ease of access for your present and future needs. Whenever home renovations are necessary to provide optimum protection to children or the elderly in the house or even prevent accidents, then it can all be done.

• Improved flooring: Choosing anti-slip flooring for buildings with high-traffic areas, such as the bathroom and the kitchen, will minimize the chances of children or the elderly slipping over.
• Wider doorways and hallways: Mobility and aging-in-place preparation can transform your home by widening doors and hallways for wheelchair or walker accessibility for the mobility-challenged or those families planning to age in place.
• Handrails and Grab Bars: Bars on stairs or handrails beside the bathroom can make it easier for every member of the house to struggle with those structures.
• Updated Electrical Systems: Safety enhancements may also involve electrical effects, such as adding more outlets to help avoid overloading circuits and installing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in strategic locations of the house.

If you prioritize safety and accessibility when planning your remodeling projects, you will prepare a safer and easier home for all.

Better Comfort and Livability

Most of the time, remodeling improves the aesthetics and usability of your home. Because of this, you may have to redesign the house to make it function and feel better.

• Better Noise Control: Extending and improving insulation in the walls or floors will help decrease noise and thus reduce noise interference. This is especially useful in multi-story houses or most active places, such as the living room or the bedrooms.
• Improved Lighting: Louvers, new windows, additional skylights, or energy-efficient lighting can bring light into otherwise dark areas, increasing the home’s visibility.
• More Natural Ventilation: Air conditioning is another area affected by remodeling, significantly if the homeowner adds more windows or changes the ventilation system to improve indoor air circulation and clean the air throughout the house.
• Enhanced Accessibility: These are especially useful when one has difficulties moving from one place to another. In the future, you have to add doorways, ramps, or lower countertops.
• Better Functionality: Sometimes, redesigning particular rooms makes them multifunctional. For instance, creating a specific area for shoes and other accessories or changing an unused zone into a working room will add functionality to your home.

These changes make your home more comfortable and suitable for your needs so that you can continue to live in it for years.
