Why Should You Remodel Your Home? [infographic]

At Artisan Building & Design, we have a saying that many homeowners can relate to: Life is too short to live in a home that makes you unhappy! The good news is that you don’t have to go to the cost and effort to move elsewhere just because you have a few things about your home that you aren’t pleased with. A home remodeling project can go a long way to making you fall in love with your home again. This is just one reason to consider remodeling your home, however, so let’s jump into a few more that could help you decide on whether to go this route.

• Increase home value- Home remodeling isn’t just for making your home nicer for you, but also so you can get the highest price for it when you sell it.
• Allow aging in place- If you plan to spend your retirement years in your current home, consider a home remodeling project that will make it safer and easier to navigate should you have limited mobility down the road.
• Reduce utilities- Not all home remodeling projects are aesthetic or functional in nature. You could also include options that make your home more energy-efficient.
• Entertainment potential- Snazzy up that kitchen so that you can better entertain family and friends.
• Create functionality- If you find yourself struggling to function in the kitchen or bathroom because of lack of storage, a strange floorplan, horrible lighting, or another limitation, it is time to consider remodeling.
• Banish a dated appearance- Does your house feel old, but building a new home is out of the question? You can give your home a facelift and turn back the clock.
• Gain space- If you have a basement, attic, or garage that isn’t being utilized and you need more space for a growing family, a remodeling project can turn those areas into living space while also adding value to your home.
• Avoid moving- If there are multiple things about your home that make you want to move, but you hate the idea of moving, the solution is remodeling your current home so that it better suits your needs.
