Benefits of home additions.

14/07/2022

As we return back-to-normal, Isle West Construction (IWC) are finding that homeowners are needing more space or additional rooms to accommodate everyone and changing needs. A kitchen renovation, removing a wall or finishing a basement, can provide much needed square footage without incurring the expense of moving.

01. Cost Efficiency

Moving fees have increased as the sale price of homes has risen. There are many costs to consider when moving: hiring professional movers, realtor fees, transfer tax fees, utility transfer fees, etc. Many homeowners are opting to take these moving costs, staying in the home that they are in, and reinvesting those funds into home improvements.

02. Increase the Value of Your Home

It’s well known that bathroom renovations or a kitchen upgrade can add thousands to the values of your home. Real estate advisors would recommend that you renovate your kitchen and bathroom(s) for maximum sale price five years prior to selling your home. Many homeowners will renovate their home to sell it, rather than renovate and enjoy it for a few years prior to selling.

03. Custom Made Home to Your Liking

A renovation will allow you to customize your home without going to the expense of purchasing a custom home. Moving to another home is never quite perfect. Staying in the home within a community that you enjoy which may be close to familiar schools, is often a consideration for renovating your home.

04. Get the New House without Moving

Any move can cause significant stress and disrupt your family’s daily routine. As stressful as home renovations can be, the process is typically more rewarding and fulfilling as you renovate a familiar space and give it a new purpose.
