What Are Structural Renovations?

Cosmetic renovations involve altering the appearance of your home. Common examples include repainting walls, replacing floors, adding new kitchen cabinets and updating bathroom fixtures. These are upgrades that only change the look of your space.

On the other hand, structural renovations are when you modify the structure of your house. These projects involve tearing down or moving walls, building new rooms, or adding a second floor. You’re doing a structural renovation if you are changing your home’s foundation or roof’s framing.

What Are Their Benefits?

Improved Layout

Do you find it hard to navigate your home even if it has plenty of space? If so, you might need to improve its layout. You might also benefit from a structural renovation if you have an older house. Older structures tend to have rooms designed for a specific purpose, such as a formal dining room or lounge area. Today, many homeowners prefer open floor plans that create seamless transitions between the cooking, dining and living areas.

More Liveable Space

You can add more liveable space to your home through structural renovations. For example, you can increase a room’s floor space by knocking down or moving a wall. You can also add an extra bedroom for a new family member. Consider a second-story addition if you have older kids who wish to have their own spaces. An experienced home remodeler can help you design and create spaces tailored to your needs.

Increased Property Value

Another great thing about structural renovations is that they can boost your property’s value. They can contribute to the marketability of your home and make it easier to sell in the future. A house with a well-thought-of floor plan, beautifully designed rooms and sufficient storage can attract more potential buyers.
