5 Signs that Indicate you need to Renovate your House

While it might be true that just about everyone desires a sprawling home, not everyone realises that it takes up a great deal of maintenance so whether its renovating your house for the sake of increasing its market value or even wanting to make the interiors more functional, one must bear in mind just how financially taxing it might be. Having said that, if remodelling is planned tactfully and only done when it is required, one might end up technically churning out money out of it.

1. Your family is expanding

Once the family begins to grow, the space of the house may seem like it’s getting smaller. As such, there are many people who may feel like the next best option is to buy a more spacious house but that isn’t necessarily true. Sometimes, the answer lies in just breaking down a few walls and doing extensions, thereby, making way for a larger space.

 

1. Floors begin to get worn out

Floors which are in dire need of replacement will eventually begin to demonstrate signs of wear and tear. Among these visible signs is that of loose floorboards that could indicate that one may need to have an overhaul of the flooring system. If it is in the case of carpets then changing them every 10 years or so is advisable. Keeping them any longer than that will probably make the house look old and shabby.

 

1. Paint chipping away

The signs of paint peeling and chipping away signifies that you are in serious need of a new paint job. But before you proceed with it, you will need to ensure that there are no uneven surfaces. Thereafter, have the old paint removed and apply the fresh paint.

 

1. Pest infestations

Such infestations usually happen if sub-standard qualities have been used in your home or if the overall structure of your home is deteriorating. Moreover, it could also mean that your home is in a rather untidy state. Such problems would typically call for some measure of renovation. Pests namely, rats, termites and ants not only pose detriments to your home structure but may even have a negative impact on the health of your family members. Another major issue to watch out for is mold. If it is a minor infestation of mold, then it can be removed using commercial cleaners but mold that is growing in between walls, around pipes or behind counters is best solved by means of renovation.

 

1. There is less storage space

If your kitchen is too messy and crowded and contents are always falling out of your cabinets then getting a renovation could be the solution to your problems. By undertaking home renovations, adding that extra storage space could help you to stay organised and prevent your home from getting cluttered. It’s a good thing that modern designs of storage spaces and cabinets are not only stylish in terms of its appearance but also offer help in space-saving. Examples of these are multifunctional furniture, hanging cabinets, built – in wall shelves etc.
