Home Renovations

A major renovation, or large-scale renovation, results in extensive changes to an existing property, significantly altering the home’s structure, function, or appearance. For example, major house renos may involve:

• Structural changes – alterations to the building’s structure, such as adding an extension, removing or moving walls, or changing the layout of rooms.
  
• Complete overhauls – renovating entire sections of a home, like entirely redoing kitchens or bathrooms, where everything from plumbing to fixtures is replaced.
  
• Exterior home renovations – significant changes to the home’s exterior, such as new roofing, siding, or adding decks or porches.
  
• Adding additional space – building new rooms or expanding existing ones. This may involve adding new floors or expanding the building’s footprint.

Major Vancouver home renovations can substantially impact your property’s value. A successful project requires detailed planning, permits, and the help of an experienced renovation contractor.

It is often cheaper to renovate an old house than to build a new one. That said, the cost to build new vs. renovate depends on various factors, including:

• Construction costs – the cost to build a new home will depend on the building materials and finishes you choose, as well as the Vancouver custom home builder you hire.
  
• Renovation complexity – minor custom home renovations are often less expensive than building new. However, extensive overhauls can be costly, especially in older homes with structural issues or outdated systems.
  
• Land costs – if you already own property, renovating avoids the cost of buying land for a new build. If land needs to be purchased for new construction, this adds a significant expense.
  
• Hidden renovation costs – older homes can harbour unseen problems (like electrical, plumbing, or issues with the foundation) that significantly increase renovation costs.
  
• Design and customization – new construction offers more flexibility and freedom when it comes to design. But this can also increase costs.
  
• Long-term savings – a new custom home can offer improved energy efficiency and lower maintenance costs. As a result, homeowners will save money in the long run.

It is essential to consider these factors when deciding whether to build new or renovate. Not sure whether to build a custom home or renovate your old house? Give us a call for personalized, expert advice.
