Common Changes Discussed During Remodeling Consultations

Every client has a specific issue that they want to solve with a home remodeling project. Their goals can vary from cosmetic upgrades to more substantial functional improvements. Below are just some of the most common changes that homeowners bring up during their consultations with our team at DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Wilmington.

Enough Space for a Gathering Spot

Nowadays, many homeowners are requesting to open up their living spaces so that they can accommodate bigger gatherings. Contractors usually achieve this by building an addition or reallocating existing space. Walls may be removed, with some rooms being converted and added to the great room.

Additional Storage Space

Another popular objective among homeowners is adding storage space. While this can be done with additions, home renovation contractors can also help clients find space in their remodeling design and reallocate certain areas to storage. For instance, kitchens can be redesigned to make room for a bigger pantry, or bedrooms overhauled to allow for bigger closets. Custom storage options can also be added along hallways, stairways and in basements, maximizing space that is often ignored.

Accessibility Upgrades

If seniors are moving into your home or a family member has a certain level of mobility impairment, you may want to invest in accessibility upgrades to make their life at home more comfortable. This could also be done if you want to plan ahead and age in place. Bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens and laundry rooms can be modified in order to make your home more accessible.

Functional Upgrades

Sometimes clients simply want their homes to be more functional and fit their everyday routines. For some, this means getting a second bathroom to make busy mornings easier. For others, it could mean converting a spare room or a basement into a gym. As long as these upgrades are done professionally and do not decrease your home’s value or usable space, you should definitely go for it!
