Give the Gift of a Home Remodel

Does your loved one love to cook but wish they had more counter space? Or do they dream of having a soaking tub or steam shower for spa-like indulgence in the comfort of their own home? If you’re looking for the perfect gift for your someone special, a home remodel project is a great choice and offers something for everyone!

A Kitchen Remodel for the Foodie Who Has it All

For the chef in your life who already has all the tools and gadgets they could need, what better than to gift them a kitchen with an updated layout, new appliances and more storage? Customize the design to fit their specific wants and needs to give it an extra personal touch. For those who really love entertaining, think about adding a large island with room for seating (because we all know, no matter what guests always end up in the kitchen).

Put a Bow on an Updated Bathroom

Forget the gift card to the spa—give that special someone unlimited pampering with a new bathtub or steam shower. And don’t stop there, think about the luxury and convenience of double sinks or his and hers vanities, or even just being able to organize the clutter with more built-in storage. If you want to go the extra mile, add in heated tile floors and a towel warmer. 

With Remodeling, the Possibilities are Endless!

A home remodel project can be personalized for anyone! If they already have their dream kitchen or bathroom, think about other spaces in your home that could be improved. An addition could give them their heart’s desire, whether it’s a sunny art studio or craft room, the mudroom they’ve always wanted, the man cave or a garage they’ve dreamt of (just imagine, the gift of no longer having to clean the snow and ice off their car on winter mornings!) Or maybe all they really want is to have an open floor plan—you can gift that too!

Tis the season to start your home project

Our last blog post explains why fall and winter are the best times to start a renovation, remodel and even new construction. A lot goes into the pre-construction phase, from initial consultation to design, so be sure to account for that time to meet your desired deadline. If you want your project complete this coming spring or summer, now is the time to get started! Not to mention, you can take advantage of the lull while everyone else is hibernating and waiting for spring.

Green Gifting

While you’re remodeling, you may want to consider sustainable options in your new space. It’s not only beneficial to the environment, but to your bank account as well. Take the opportunity to update appliances for efficiency, add or replace windows for more natural light and better insulation, and choose fixtures that save water and electricity. The insulation in your walls is key in energy efficiency and the time to replace it with current, high-functioning technology is while your walls are already opened up during a remodel. Including these options in the design and construction of your new space is good for the environment and it can save you money on your energy bills for years to come!

The Gift that Keeps on Giving 

Whether you’re in your forever home or you’re thinking of selling down the road, a home remodel is a win-win. Not only will a new, updated space increase the value of your home, it will bring joy for years to come.
