A frenzy of remodeling has been taking place for many years now. So many great looks are available that it’s natural for homeowners to watch HGTV in Chicago remodeling ideas and then look around their own homes in wonder. Here are five reasons to remodel your home.
1. Quality Of Life
Whether you’re selling or aging in place, the house should be comfortable. If you’re upgrading your house for potential buyers, you’ll end up living in a showroom instead of a comfortable home.
2. Safety
Electrical outlets that spark, roof leaks, cracked foundations, or unexpected gaps in the sewer pipes are safety issues that should be fixed immediately for the health of the family.
3. Functionality
Adding a second bathroom, an outdoor room, or a home office are remodeling ideas that increase the functionality of a Chicago home without sacrificing square footage. The purpose is to ease tension on busy days.
4. Efficiency
New windows and doors and increasing the insulation are two moves that add energy efficiency as well as paying for themselves within five to ten years. Homeowners seek savings while buyers want energy efficient homes.
5. Style And Resale
Dated and/or plain homes don’t entice buyers. Updating an older or dated home along more classic lines instead of trendy styles impresses buyers. Make repairs and upgrades that add value to the home. Together, these should sell the house. Arete Renovators Inc. would be pleased to help with your remodel when you contact us to learn more.
