Remodeling Tips for a Starter Home



Nowadays, many people consider their first property to be a starter home. It allows them the liberty to upgrade and move into a bigger and better home eventually. However, at times, homeowners do decide to remodel this starter house because in today’s real estate market, it is significantly cheaper. If this is your situation, here are some suggestions for home renovation projects you should prioritize.

Exterior Revamp

It’s said that first impressions last. Consider installing a new entry door, keeping a green lawn and trimming trees. Hire a professional to guarantee you get a fresh, flawless exterior paint job and a neat fence or front walk.

Updating the Floors

Floors are one of the first things that show wear and tear.  Have them replaced or refurbished by a professional. You can also use carpet to make your rooms cozy. Make certain that you pick colors or patterns that complement the existing interior of your home.

Remodeling the Kitchen

No one wants a perpetually messy kitchen, so ensure you have enough cabinetry for storage. Prioritize your countertop too, where all the cooking and meal prepping are done. Kitchen remodel experts suggest utilizing eco-friendly and heat-resistant recycled glass or quartz countertops for a less expensive, chic look.

Building a Deck

Creating an addition generally increases a home’s marketability. If you build a deck, you won’t have to worry about natural illumination and ventilation as you would with a home addition. Just spice it up with plants, furniture and a grill.

Window Replacement

If you think creating a deck isn’t the right project for you, then perhaps getting new windows will do. Modern windows are fairly low-maintenance and need nothing beyond an occasional soap-and-water cleaning to keep them looking new. Renewing your windows is a great way to boost energy efficiency.
