Why NOW Is the Time To Do a Home Remodel

How many times have you thought about remodeling your home only to end up overwhelmed and abandoning the whole idea? There are many reasons you might be considering a remodel, all of which can be both exciting and daunting. But whether you’re thinking about a total home makeover or just want to renovate a few rooms, here are some of the top reasons why the end result will be rewarding and completely worth the process.

1. Increase energy efficiency: If the headache of incessantly hollering at the kids to close the door every two minutes is your sole energy savings plan, good news! There are more permanent, reliable solutions that won’t ever argue back. Updating your home’s windows, insulation, and heating and cooling systems can make it more energy efficient.

According to several window manufacturers, homeowners often overlook the cost savings of replacing old windows. Energy-efficient windows can recoup up to 30% of your typical monthly energy bill.

And Energystar.gov states that “The EPA estimates that homeowners can save an average of 15% on heating and cooling costs (or an average of 11% on total energy costs) by air sealing their homes and adding insulation in attics, floors over crawl spaces, and accessible basement rim joists.”

Not only will efficiency remodeling save you money on your energy bills, but it’s also good for the environment.

2. Improve functionality: Have a cramped family room? A leaky bathroom, outdated kitchen, or frustratingly small pantry? One of the main reasons to remodel your home is to improve its functionality. Especially during the holiday months when hosting events or housing guests turn the frustrating spots in your home into even greater inconveniences. But even by making small changes, you can dramatically improve how your home functions on a day-to-day basis and also turn it into a beautiful, comfortable space that frees you to be the host of your dreams.

3. Create additional space: If your home is feeling cramped and cluttered, adding some additional space can be a huge relief. Whether it’s finishing an unfinished basement or attic, or expanding an existing room, having some extra space can make your home much more enjoyable to live in.

4. Update an outdated home: Remodeling can also be a great way to update an older home that’s starting to look its age. By making small changes, you can give your home a fresh new look that’ll make it feel like new again.

5. Enhance curb appeal: If you’re planning to sell your home in the near future, enhancing its curb appeal is a must. But even if you’re not selling, increasing your home’s curb appeal can make it more enjoyable to come home to. Something as simple as a new coat of paint or some updated landscaping can make a big difference. But no matter what you’re dreaming about, whether it’s small projects like a new front door to larger renovations like a grand master suite, don’t wait until you’re ready to move to turn your house into a dream home. Do it now and enjoy the fruits of your labor. 

No matter what your reasons for remodeling are, the end result will be a home that you love spending time in. So whether you live in Herriman or Highland, Sandy or Salt Lake, Park City or Provo, and no matter if you’re feeling like it’s time for a change to your attic, basement, or anywhere in between, don’t hesitate to start planning your next home remodeling project.
