Signs That You're Ready To Remodel

Remodeling is not just a weekend project..so how do you know when you’re ready to take it on?  These 5 signs tell you loud and clear that you’re ready to renovate.
​

  1. You can already picture the completed transformation in your head.  Whenever you have down time, you sit there with your cup of coffee and contemplate exactly what you will eventually do.  Break down that wall.  Add on a four seasons room so you can enjoy outdoor living more.  FINALLY get that sauna you’ve wanted for years.  Update your amenities with the latest and greatest.  Whatever your plans for remodeling are, you’re constantly researching new ideas.  Maybe a friend recently finished a beautiful renovation and you’re always coming up with new questions to ask them.  If you’re doing one or more of these things, it’s a sure sign that you’re ready to talk to a professional like Michael’s Homes to find out how you can start making your remodeling dreams a reality!
  2. You’ve found the perfect “fixer upper”.  Every now and then an old or rundown house comes on the market at a bargain price.  Maybe you didn’t feel ready to take on a project like that in the past, but this time you feel confident that this is the one.  Or maybe you inherited a property that has sat unused for decades.  Either way, it seems positively providential.  Your new neighbors will love you for turning the local eyesore into a freshly beautiful home!
  3. Your family is outgrowing your current house.  You’ve known for awhile that you’d eventually have to move so you could have more space for your growing family, but every open house that you go to leaves you feeling disappointed - it’s never quite right.  Besides, you know how expensive and disruptive moving can be.  You love the location of your current home, but there’s just not enough room anymore!. You want more space to breathe, entertain, and raise your family - especially during the wintertime!  You have particular ideas about exactly what you want, and with a renovation, you know you can have just that.
  4. Your pinboard is packed.  Whether you’re using a site like Pinterest or doing it old-style with magazine cut-outs and paint swatches on the wall, you’ve surrounded yourself with great ideas.  They’re practically coming out of your ears.  You’ve gleaned inspiration and ideas from a dozen sources.  This is the first step to any big project like this, and perhaps the most important as well!  Once you’ve discovered your vision for your home remodel, it’s time to get to work and make that a reality.
  5. You’ve renovated a home in the past and loved it.  Many times those who’ve completed a renovation in the past and survived it come back to do it again.  We all learn best from experience, and as with any project or achievement in life, there are things you’d do a little differently when remodeling the second time!  You don’t get a lot of second chances in life, but this is one of them.

If there are one or more signs telling you it's time for a remodel, then the next step is choosing the right partner for your project - someone who will work with you every step of the way.  At Michael's Homes, our entire team are experts at combining design with function so that your new renovation project or addition will never look like an afterthought.   Contact us today!

I really liked it when you said that if the family is growing and there isn't enough space anymore, but we don't want to move, then the best thing to do is to remodel. My mom did mention a few days ago that the space in the living room is not big enough for me and my siblings to play at. Since I know that she would not want to move because we love the house, I guess the next best thing is to renovate the living room to make it bigger.

I appreciate you saying that the person can renovate the house if they have tried it in the past and loved the results. Though I am sure that it was more than eight years ago. Now we need to remodel again. That is the good thing though since my mom already knows what needs to be done. She even knows about this scheduling thing and how we need to schedule the house for improvement.

It's interesting to know that if your family is growing and you don't want to move, a home renovation will be your best option. My husband's family lives in a big house that just to be perfect to fit all of them, but know that his uncle moved there, they are having a problem to fit all of the family. Since none of them wants to move to a bigger place, I believe that a home renovation will be the perfect option for them.
