Are Whole-Home Remodels Better Than One-Room Renovations?

Home remodeling could include a bathroom remodel, a kitchen remodel or even a bump-out addition to your home. It’s further subdivided into remodeling a single room or area or your entire house, the latter often called a whole-home remodel. As with many different construction projects, there are advantages and disadvantages to take into consideration before you decide what type of remodel you want to do.

Our experts at DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Wilmington can help you understand the pros and cons of both one-room and whole-home remodels so you can make a better-informed decision.

Advantages of a Whole-Home Remodel

With any remodeling project, it’s important to hire full-service home renovation contractors to make things easier. You will have the talents of a designer, a planner and a builder, all from one service provider. This will simplify the whole process and result in a more cohesive overall design for your home. In fact, this is one of the reasons homeowners often choose a whole-home remodel.

The biggest obstacle you’ll face during whole-home remodels is finding the right experts to help you out. Getting every detail correct and planning for all the budget needs and scheduling concerns, including finalizing the plans for every part of the project, are too big of a job to entrust to a fly-by-night operation.

About One-Room Remodels

On the other hand, focusing your attention on one room allows you greater control over the design elements you want to include. Remodeling a whole house can be daunting, especially for first-timers who don’t know what a project of this scale will require. Additionally, if your goals are really just to renovate one part of your home, then it makes more sense to do one room only.

If your single-room remodel is part of a series of remodeling projects you intend to do, taking it one room at a time might create a style that appears disjointed. For example, you might have a nice bedroom with an out-of-place closet design. You may be able to avoid this issue by making sure that you always hire the same professionals to work your projects.
