Got home improvement dreams?
If you’re trying to figure out the best time to take action and launch into some home remodeling, here are some tips to help you make up your mind.
The Best Time to Remodel
In an ideal world, these factors would be in place:
For most homeowners, however, these conditions only happen in daydreams. But there are other times to remodel and stop dreaming, also.
Family Outgrowing the Bedrooms
The first home a couple purchases usually is outgrown in a few years with the birth of children. Siblings can share bedrooms, but this can cause you headaches daily. Children start wanting their own space, and giving this to them can stop your headaches. This may be time to add more bedrooms.
Children Move from Your Home
After all your children move out, a new phase of your life is starting. You can choose to move to a smaller home or stay in your existing home. If you’ll be staying, most likely besides reconfiguring, your home will need updating.
There are many choices for those extra bedrooms, such as sewing room, office, and many more options for altering this space.
As you’re becoming an empty-nester, it’s time to think about those upgrades categorized as ‘aging in place’ – making it easier to live in and care for your home as you get older. A good choice is a remodeling project that replaces a high-maintenance item like wood windows with something that requires virtually no maintenance, like vinyl or fiberglass windows.
If Your Home is Stuck in a Different Decade
If your surroundings in your home look like you stepped back in time, the time for remodeling might be now.
Moods can be affected with our surroundings. Living in a home with outdated appliances and finishes can dampen your moods. Cabinets may be faded, fixtures and flooring may be falling apart. Window casings may be old, and doors might have damage from years of use. This is definitely remodeling time.
Your Home Shows You it is Time to Remodel
There may be times for remodeling that you cannot avoid, such as issues with the structure. You might have roof leaks, or your siding is buckling. Perhaps those old windows are leaking so much air you’re seeing red when you pay your utility bills.
It’s also wise to piggy-back your remodeling projects. It may save you money by using the phrase, “While you are doing that…” For example, when you’re replacing your windows, why not have new exterior doors installed that will look good with those windows?
