Basic, Cosmetic, and Personal Renovations
What are the 3 types of renovation?
There are three basic types of home renovations:
- Basic renovations: modernize a house
- Cosmetic renovations: update the look and feel of a home
- Personal renovations: cater to specific tastes and budget
The most common rooms people renovate are kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. Kitchen and bathroom renovations improve space but can make rooms unusable during the renovation. Basement renovations add space.
Renovations retain structures while updating materials and surfaces. Remodeling alters layouts requiring demolition and rebuilding sections. Renovations are usually cheaper than remodeling because foundations and structures are reused.
