Top 10 Reasons To Renovate (#5 - #1)


Part two of our top 10 reasons to renovate your home, here are our top five reasons to renovate your home. Check out part one of our top reasons to renovate here.


QUIETER AND DRIER HOME


A renovation provides an opportunity to soundproof your home with modern drywall technology. We can renovate using sound barrier drywall technology and building with multiple layers of drywall to further reduce sound travel. In addition, flooring products and underlay can reduce sound from below. We can also build with soundproof insulation in the wall spaces, and acoustic panels can be used on walls to further diffuse sound within a room. Soundproofing your home will also help reduce noise complaints from neighbours around you.


Today’s renovations also incorporate modern moisture-resistant drywall, which repels water and vapour moisture. Moisture-resistant drywall doesn’t shrink when drying, unlike traditional drywall technology. Moisture-resistant drywall also helps keep your bathroom more durable in the long term by reducing mould growth.


ADAPT TO YOUR LIFESTYLE


Have you got some changes coming in your life? Are you downsizing or upsizing? Is the mother-in-law moving in permanently? Or are children on the way? A modern renovation can help adjust your home for you and your lifestyle. Whether adjusting your layout for a children’s bedroom or creating a bathroom that suits you better as you age. Renovating your home will help create the space to work better around your needs as your life changes.


SMARTER DESIGN OPTIONS



Today’s interior designers and builders have vast knowledge about how to design a home with existing space constraints. Especially with small condos in Vancouver, we can use space better than in the past. We can build thinner internal walls, create shelve space in walls, place your coffee machine on a special drawer that tucks away to occupy less kitchen countertop space and create a lifting Murphy bed to create more space. Do you have a weird space in your home that was previously unable to be used? Today’s designers have more creative solutions than ever before.


INCREASED VALUE


One of the primary reasons for renovating your home is the investment you put into the renovation provides you with a value increase to your home. In addition, you can renovate strategically to help improve your return on investment.

Focus on items with more visual appeal and appearance, such as the kitchens and bathrooms. If you can increase the amount of square footage or improve the space efficiency you already have. Consider adding decks, fire pits and pools if you can. If you want to increase the appeal to energy-conscious buyers, consider replacing your old appliances and lighting with energy-efficient options.


ENJOYMENT


Finally, our top reason for getting a renovation is the enjoyment of having a newly renovated home, yours to sit down, enjoy, relax and appreciate living in. This is your space to live in and to grow. Now is the time to take in all of the benefits we have listed here and many more we have not and combine them into the fact that this is your home now. Enjoy!
