The enduring global pandemic has given our anxious minds time to think.  Inevitably, during your countless periods of home containment you have thought about change.  Here are a few reasons why this desired change should be carried out with the completion of a home construction project or add-on —— not the sale of your home.

First, and perhaps the greatest reason is that we all hate the idea of moving! It is stressful, costly, and something you want to do as few times as possible over a lifetime. Many homeowners have said over and over again that they ultimately decided to renovate because moving simply was not a realistic option. Many were already too close to family and/or too close to work, so it seemed impractical to give up those advantages.  The end result was to stay where they are, renovate, and not have to worry about moving for a very long time.

Second, lifestyle is Important. What was once touted as “keeping up with the Joneses” is now recognized as a legitimate exercise in maintaining value and increasing happiness. Homeowners recognize they have worked hard for their money – so it only makes sense they should spend some of it where they spend the bulk of their time… on their property.

Next, “Do It Yourself” projects are time consuming, stressful and most often poorly done.  You may have heard the expression “you get what you pay for” more than a few times in the past. This is particularly true in the home improvement & construction industry. Simply go online and look around for renovations done by amateurs.  You will find that they almost always end up looking… well… amateurish. In some cases, home improvements not done professionally can even lead to insurance issues, or resale problems.

Plus, you absolutely love your location. In this context your home renovations become more cosmetic and are often driven by personal preference.  For example, in today’s work from home pandemic times, kitchens are often enlarged and basements are developed into more practical living space.

These are key reasons that homeowners eventually decide to take the plunge and renovate: it simply makes sense to do so. Perhaps your family has outgrown your outdated bungalow, and you need the basement space for the kids as they get older. Or maybe you love to cook and entertain in your kitchen area many times each week, but you’ve found that the kitchen layout is simply too closed off for these gatherings. Whatever the reason, homeowners have a practical concern which requires a practical solution from a professional renovator.
