FAQ

What's the difference between a remodel or a renovation?

A remodel is a major change to a room or part of a room. A renovation refers to minor changes made to a particular room or area of a given room. A bathroom remodel, for example, is a major undertaking, while a new sink faucet is minor.

Remodeling is the process of changing a room or part of it. A renovation is simply a change to a specific part of a space. A kitchen remodel could include replacing countertops, sinks and appliances as well as changing lighting and paint colors. But a kitchen update could include painting the wall color or installing a new light fixture.


Why should I remodel rather than buying a completely new house?

Although it is true that houses become more affordable every year, you still pay for the same area. You get a lot more bang than you pay, but that extra square footage is still a significant expense.

It's cheaper to maintain a house without much maintenance.

You can save thousands by remodeling instead of buying a new home.

You can transform your existing home to create a space that suits you and your family's lifestyle. You can make your home more comfortable for you and your family.


Remodeling a kitchen or bathroom is more expensive.

Remodeling a bathroom or kitchen is an expensive proposition. However, when you consider how much money you pay each month for energy bills, upgrading your home might make more sense.

You could save thousands each year by making a small upgrade. Simple changes such as insulation in ceilings and walls can help reduce cooling and heating costs by up to 30%. Even a simple addition can increase comfort and reduce resale costs.

It is crucial to consider durability and ease of maintenance when renovating. Solid wood flooring, porcelain tile, and stainless steel appliances last longer than vinyl and laminate countertops and require less maintenance.

You may also find that replacing old fixtures with newer models can help cut utility expenses. For example, installing low-flow showerheads and faucets can lower water usage by up to 50 percent. Compact fluorescent bulbs can be replaced with inefficient lighting to reduce electricity consumption by as much as 75 percent.


What is it worth to tile a bathroom?

Do it yourself if possible. A full bathroom remodels an investment. However, quality fixtures and materials are worth the long-term investment when you consider how beautiful a space will be for many years.

The right tiles can make a huge difference in how your room looks and feels. Here's how to choose the right tiles for your home, regardless of whether it's a small renovation or major project.

Decide the type of flooring that you want to install. Common choices include ceramics and porcelain as well as stone and natural wooden. The next step is to choose a style. Select a color palette.

It is important to match the tile to the rest in a large bathroom remodel. You may choose white subway tile for your bathroom and kitchen area, but select darker colors for other rooms.

Next, determine the size of the project. Is it time to update a small powder room? Or would you prefer to add an extra bedroom in your master suite with a walkin-in closet?

Once you've determined the project's scope, visit local stores and check out samples. This way, you can get a feel for the product and its installation techniques.

You can also shop online to find great deals on porcelain and ceramic tiles. Many retailers offer discounts for bulk purchases and free shipping.


How much would it take to gut a house and how much to build a brand new one?

The process of gutting a house involves removing all contents inside the building. This includes walls, floors and ceilings, plumbing, electrical wiring and appliances. It's often necessary when you're moving to a new house and want to make changes before you move in. Due to so many factors involved in the process of gutting a property, it can be very costly. Your job may require you to spend anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000 to gut your home.

Building a home means that a builder constructs a house piece by piece, then adds windows, doors, cabinets and countertops to it. This is typically done after purchasing lots and lots of lands. Building a home usually costs less than gutting and can cost between $15,000 and $30,000.

It really depends on your plans for the space. If you are looking to renovate a home, it will likely cost you more as you will be starting from scratch. If you're building your home, however, you don't have to tear everything down and start over. You can build it as you wish, instead of waiting to have someone else tear it apart.


How do I determine if my house requires a renovation or remodel?

You should first check to see if your home has had any recent updates. It may be time for a renovation if your home hasn't been updated in a while. On the other hand, if your home looks brand-new, then you may want to think about a remodel.

A second thing to check is the condition of your house. If there are holes in the drywall, peeling wallpaper, or broken tiles, it's likely time for a renovation. But if your home looks amazing, maybe it's time for a remodel.

A second factor to consider is your home's general condition. Does it have a sound structure? Are the rooms well-lit? Are the floors in good condition? These are essential questions to consider when choosing the type of remodeling you want.
