The Empty Nester’s Guide to Home Remodeling



You may be left with extra space after your children have moved out. Remodeling allows you to make the most of your home’s square footage and tweak rooms better meet your needs. From creating a guest bedroom to building a home gym, you have various options for revamping your humble abode. 

A trusted general contractor shares remodeling tips for empty nesters. 

Kitchen Remodeling

Do you like trying out new recipes or find baking a relaxing experience? Remodeling will do more than update the look of your kitchen. It can also elevate your cooking and dining experience. You can change the room’s layout or invest in more efficient appliances. 

Accessibility Upgrades

Living in a forever home is becoming more popular among empty nesters. If you choose this option, you’ll need features in your living space that adapt to your evolving needs. Accessible remodeling projects, such as widening doorways and installing grab bars and ramps, will improve your home’s safety and comfort. 

Bathroom Remodeling

You can make your bathroom more comfortable and luxurious through remodeling. Consider heated flooring, new fixtures and safer tiling options. These features will help create a spa-like atmosphere in your space. 

Room Conversion

If you’re looking for ways to maximize your home’s square footage, adding an extra room or converting an existing one are great options. For instance, your kid’s old bedroom could make the perfect home office or theater.
