Maybe when you buy a house, you’re planning to live there until the rest of your days. Or maybe you’re planning on living there for a decade or so before selling it and upgrading it. Either way, your home is your space to create whatever you want!
A home renovation is one of the best ways to make your house feel fresh, updated and revitalized. You can either hire help from the best handyman services to get the project done, or you can choose to tackle a DIY project to keep your hands busy for a while. Either way, there are many home renovations projects that can greatly benefit your space and get more bang for your buck!
Kitchen Renovation
Any potential buyer would be thrilled to have a brand-new kitchen in their new home! Update the backsplash, swap out those dull, old appliances, sand down those water-stained cabinets and consider updating your old, chalky white countertops for a modern kitchen.
When a kitchen renovation is done correctly, it is one of those home renovations that can seriously increase the value of your home. A functional and beautiful kitchen can be a deal breaker for potential buyers, and a minor kitchen renovation can run anywhere between $10,000 to $20,000 USD.
Bathroom Remodel
Like a kitchen renovation, a bathroom remodel is one of the more popular renovations you can make to your home. It can have a major impact on the investment of your property by boosting the appeal of your home. A full bathroom remodel would include fixing up the counters (if necessary), changing the old plumbing, switching out the light fixtures, slapping a new coat of paint on the walls, updating the floors and possibly upgrading the shower/tub.
If you have the means to remodel all of your bathrooms, this will look extraordinary for the resale value of your home!
Finished Basement or Attic
Most of us just use the basement or attic as extra storage space in the house, but this could be an incredible selling feature if you plan to sell your home. An attic bedroom can be extremely charming.
A finished basement is a loaded task, but an innovative use of the entire square footage of your home. It’s best to hire a professional if you plan to refurbish your basement space – a basement needs to be properly insulated, and permits should be cleared before you move anyone downstairs.
If you plan to convert your attic to an extra office space, or perhaps a bedroom, you’ll want to make sure this crawl space is well insulated also. A solar-powered attic fan is a great addition to any attic-converted room as it can keep the space conditioned and save on utility bills.
Landscaping
Have you dreamed of tending to your own garden? Maybe a sprawling, tranquil oasis in your backyard?
A well-manicured lawn is hard to pass up when shopping for a new abode. A simple walkway, a fountain feature, or some well-placed shrubbery can significantly raise the value of your home. If you have the money, a pool or an added deck/porch is sure to generate buzz if you intend to sell your property.
