Is a Full House Renovation Worth It?

You love your home, your proximity to the amenities you need, your school district, and your community. Moving would change all of these aspects and add a whole host of trials if you decide to go through the house-hunting process. 

Choosing to remodel your home over buying a new one carries profound emotional benefits, like retaining cherished memories, staying in your community, and keeping the social ties that enrich your life. 

Opting for a whole home remodel also circumvents the often underestimated financial and emotional costs associated with moving while investing in your current space and increasing your home's value. A whole home remodel will meet your exact needs and preferences—something a home on the market is unlikely to offer.

Ultimately, choosing to remodel can transform your existing space into the dream home you've always wanted, without the need to uproot your life.

How Do You Know When It's Time to Renovate?

Ever find yourself bumping elbows in your kitchen, dark and cave-like spaces, over-flowing closets, or competing for the bathroom during the morning work and school routine? If you’re nodding along, it might be time to think about a whole home remodel.

These are a few of the most common reasons to invest in a full home remodel:

  • Tight spaces
  • A layout that doesn't flow naturally
  • Dark rooms
  • Dated or worn finishes
  • Old wiring and plumbing
  • A struggling HVAC system and high utility bills
  • Too little storage
  • Not enough bathrooms
  • A closed/traditional floor plan
  • Lack of a primary suite
  • An older family member is moving in
 

All of these reasons and more aren't just daily nuisances—they’re signs your home isn’t keeping up with your needs. They can also put a damper on how you feel about your Corvallis home, which can affect your mood and increase frustration. 

Remodeling can solve these problems, transforming your home into a place where you can breathe easily, entertain freely, and live comfortably. Plus, updating your home can bring it into the now, making every corner feel like it's truly yours.
