Common questions

What is the 30% rule in remodeling?

It's a way to ensure you're not over-improving for the neighborhood, which could impact resale value. Always consult with local real estate professionals for specifics in your area.

What is the difference between renovating and remodeling?

While often used interchangeably, renovating typically means restoring something to a good state of repair or making it look new again, like painting or replacing fixtures. Remodeling implies a more significant change, often involving altering the structure or layout of a space, such as moving walls or reconfiguring a floor plan. Both aim to improve your home.

For smaller projects like updating a kitchen or bathroom, or for cosmetic changes, it can be sufficient. However, for major structural changes, additions, or a complete overhaul, it might be a starting point rather than a full budget.
