Is a home renovation worth it?

Generally, a home renovation is worth the effort and investment since it will add value to your home. Keep in mind that this can be dependent on the cost of the renovation. If you go for luxury upgrades or build beyond the needs of typical home buyers, you may have some difficulty the entirety of your costs.

Home renovations in Perth can also be worthwhile by raising the quality of life for you and your family. The extra space can afford more storage as well as personal space for family members (and even pets!). If you live in an older or outdated home, the changes can also improve design, functionality, and efficiency. Renovation can also improve the functionality of a space to keep up with your current needs and lifestyle. It also gives you a chance to improve the aesthetic appeal of your home. Furthermore, a home renovation is typically cheaper than buying or building a new home.

When and why should I renovate my home?

While this can be appealing for any number of reasons based on your personal circumstances, the when and why for home renovation usually fall into two main categories:

1. Your current home no longer serves its purpose and needs updating to suit your lifestyle.
2. You are preparing to put the property on the market and want to increase resale value.

Which home renovations offer the best value for my Perth home?

It’s hard to answer this question in isolation since it depends on what your needs are. There’s no point in adding bedrooms if you have no need for the sleeping space, for example.

But in terms of increasing property value here in Perth, the best home renovations include converting the loft to a bedroom, converting the garage to a living space, adding a bathroom, and making the living area open plan. Garage door installations and stone veneers are other excellent ways to increase home value.

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Renovations In Perth

How can I save on home renovation costs?

The number one way to save on renovation costs is to hire a trustworthy and experienced contractor. Unfortunately, some contractors will view your home renovation as a way to make extra money along the way. They will bait you in with a low initial quote but keep billing you for additional costs that you can’t back out of as the renovation progresses further.

Before you enter into a renovation contract, be firm with your budget and demand a clear plan from your builder that outlines their scope of work and inclusions.

What is the difference between a renovation and a remodel?

For design and build professionals, the words remodel and renovate have two very different meanings, although they are used interchangeably. Remodels happen when a structure is drastically changed or replaced where renovations take existing homes and restore them to a better condition.

Can I DIY a home renovation?

For simple renovations, we encourage you to try doing them yourself to save on costs. Some examples of projects that you may be able to take on are:

• Wall repainting
• Installing wallpaper
• Peel and stick DIY kitchen backsplash
• Insulating a garage door
• Landscaping a lawn
• Pressure cleaning outdoor surfaces

For other renovation projects that require skilled work, it’s still best to hire a professional and experienced contractor.

What should I expect during a home renovation?

Aside from preparing your budget for the renovation, you should get ready for the impact that a home renovation will bring to your family and daily routine. Regardless of the project type, you can expect a home renovation to be loud and a bit messy at times. Although most professionals will try to minimise their impact, there’s no denying that a renovation will bring about certain inconveniences. This could mean temporarily restricting access to certain parts of your house while construction works are underway. For a major home renovation, you might even have to allow for a temporary living arrangement outside of your home.

Before construction work commences, ask for a schedule so you can prepare for the renovation in advance. We also advise that you warn your neighbours in advance to stop noise complaints before they start.

Is it better to renovate or move?

In most cases, a renovation is a more affordable undertaking than moving or building a new house. Whether it is the better option or not depends on a number of factors that only you can answer.

You should most likely renovate if:

• You are happy with your home but want to update certain parts
• You need extra living space and have the room to extend
• You want to improve your living conditions on a tight budget
• You like your neighbourhood and community and want to stay

You should most likely move if:

• You have space constraints on possible upgrades
• You no longer think your home is in an ideal location
• You want a change and can afford the cost of moving homes

Why are many home renovations in Perth typically costly?

The reason why home remodelling projects tend to always cost more and take longer than agreed upon is that some general contractors want to make maximum money from you. Maximizing profits is lesson one when it comes to business, but there are better ways than others to achieve this. For many contractors, this means tacking on costly upgrades or not being clear about initial costs. Another issue is that once one wall is open, homeowners can get excited and want to expand the project to include new things without realizing the financial impact.

Thankfully, this is simply not the case with Portrait Custom Homes. We are upfront and transparent about our pricing. It’s what our reputation and business are built upon.
