If you have your heart set on remodeling multiple areas of your home, you’ve likely tossed around the idea of doing all the renovations in one fell swoop versus one room at a time. Both approaches have their merits, and both have the potential to increase the value of your property and your quality of life.
As a local home renovation expert, we at DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen have seen what it’s like for clients to live through several rounds of remodels. Some are enthusiastic about always having work to look forward to; others start to feel like their homes are a never-ending project. We can’t speak for everyone, but we’ve got our reasons for favoring the whole-house approach!
Cohesive Design
Cohesive design is a goal for any remodeling project, regardless of scope, but it’s easier to achieve consistency and harmony when you’re updating your home in one go. Whole-house remodeling involves ordering all materials at once. It can be difficult to match materials like natural stone tile when you purchase them years apart, and this can lead to issues that may delay the progress of future projects.
Planning for the Future
Home remodeling requires a big investment in terms of time, energy and money, so it’s nice to get it over and done with. The only thing that keeps some homeowners from signing up for a whole-home remodel is the thought of their needs changing down the road. What if you want to make room for more kids or grandkids? What if you transition to home-based work? What if you’re thinking of aging in place? A good remodeler will be able to anticipate this and help you incorporate those future needs into your present design.
Convenience & Savings
A big remodel can spare you the difficulty and expense of having to do multiple small ones. Combining two or more projects means you’ll only have to pay for “miscellaneous” fees once. Examples of small costs that could add up over the course of several remodels include permits, garbage disposal fees, project management fees and accommodations for the construction crew. Scheduling work by specialists like designers, carpenters, electricians and plumbers can also be done more efficiently, which means you’ll end up saving on labor costs.
Peace of Mind
Imagine the sense of accomplishment you’ll feel after weeks of dealing with a major home reno. Yes, a whole-home remodel is a bigger disruption to your life than a one-room remodel, but this is also true in the positive sense! You can then rest easy knowing you’ve achieved the dream home you and your family will enjoy for a long, long time.
