• Improve security

You should want to balance the desire to create your dream home with decisions that will provide an investment in your property.

5 Areas Of Your Home To Start Renovating

Sometimes thinking about renovations means more than just remodelling a room. Details can matter and thinking about your entire home works to provide opportunities for well-thought out home renovations.

• Flooring is the most important aspect of your home. Hardwood floors provide an instant refresh to your space.
• Fixtures are small but can be effective ways to upgrade your space that will revitalize your entire home. Cabinet hardware, light fixtures (pot lights), countertops and faucets are just a few things to consider.
• Bathrooms are the second most important room in the home in terms of long-term valuation. Renovating to have a powder room in a one-bathroom house will help create more space for you and increase value.
• The kitchen is the single most important room to renovate. A modern, fresh and desirable kitchen with new appliances and features like under-cabinet lighting will not only provide you space and joy, but is a highly valuable investment in your home.
• Income/In-law suites are highly popular and if renovating a basement space, should be an important consideration. Whether it’s a possible stream of income or comfort for your extended family, an income/in-law suite will increase your home’s worth.
