Making Better Use of Your Existing Space
Currently, more people are spending the majority of their time at home. Working from home, teaching their children from home, and spending lots of family time at home. This might cause one to look around the current living space and notice it isn’t reaching its full potential. Coincidentally, there has never been a better time to implement those new ideas and make your home the amazing space you have always wanted it to be.
Is It Time To Remodel?
Making the decision to remodel your home is a big one. Once you’ve decided your direction and scope of work, there’s so much more you need to know about home remodeling. To help make that decision a smooth process, it’s important that you recognize when your home’s current setup just isn’t efficient for you anymore. This could mean needing additional storage space, updating or adding bathrooms, or even a making your kitchen space the hub for your family. From design, cost, and materials to specifics on style, comfort and using your space wisely, speaking with an expert is key.
Adding More Space
If you’re unable to get what you want or need within your current home’s footprint, you should consider adding on to your home. There are plenty of reasons for choosing a home addition however, it can be a particularly good choice if you love your home and your neighborhood, or the school system is great for your children, and you don’t want to move, especially if you are in desperate need of more space. Options can include adding on to the back or sides of your house, or even incorporating a second or third story if you are land locked.
What About Finances?
One reason people put off home projects is the cost. However, there are some creative options available so you can get the space you need without going being uncomfortable financially. First, ask about financing options through your remodeler. Or if what you really want is more than your budget allows, consider a 12-months same-as-cash option for the difference of the cost. That way you can not only get what you really want out of your remodel, but you have also made a great investment in case you do decide to sell your home. If you’re looking to remodel or add on to increase your home’s value before selling in a few years, you could even research a no-closing-cost refinance.
These are just a few ways and ideas on how you can make better use of your current home’s space. With more people spending time at home, now is the best time to tackle all your projects and help your house reach its full space potential.
