What is included in a renovation?

“Renovation” and “Remodeling” are two words used frequently and correspondently. Although the words do seem quite similar, they are not synonyms for each other. What’s the key that separates the two?

A comprehensive answer is the nature of each task. Renovation typically is cosmetic in nature whereas, remodeling is totally structural. Subject to houses, a complete remodel implies modifying the complete layout and structure of the entire place. Though, a partial renovation is to slick up the appearance of the specific areas of the house.

These two ideas are sometimes referred to as restoration and creation. When you perform Renovations, you are just repairing portions of the house. Remodeling however requires starting from scratch.

The renovation includes a variety of services:

• Renovate Walls

    Repair and Re-paint: Repair small holes and cracks in the wall to make the walls look new.

    Stencil or Projected Image: Use stencil or image to create a stunning look for the wall.

    Apply Wallpaper: Wallpaper can make a big impact on a space. As well as makes your room beautiful.

    Install Paneling: With a few scraps of trim, nails, and a nail gun, you can renovate your walls in an inexpensive manner.

    Add Fabric: This will not damage your walls or leave behind residue to hang a long curtain rod on the wall near the ceiling.

• Renovating Plaster

It is a pre-mixed, dry-bagged, lightweight cement-based plaster incorporating perlite that was intended to decrease humidity in plastered walls of older houses. It can also be used immediately after installing a new damp-proof course or in conjunction with basement tanking systems.

• Loft Conversions

Loft conversions are a practical and elegant solution to extend your house without moving and make the most out of underutilized space. In fact, the average loft takes up the most square footage in the house and, when compared to basement conversions, is easier to convert into a functional space solution.

• Paint Renovation

Renovation painting may be done on the inside or outside of the property; it all depends on what has to be handled around the place on a case-by-case basis. Before renovating your walls or ceilings, a skilled crew will first prepare the area so that the trained painters may begin with a clean, smooth surface. This means that any rough spots will be sanded, holes and gouges will be repaired, and gaps in the wall or ceiling trim will be caulked to produce a smooth surface.

• Bathroom Renovation

    Add necessities or remove unwanted items. You can get the tiles changed or the showers replaced. Maybe, you want to upgrade the style of your sink.

• Kitchen Renovation

    This often includes painting, installing new flooring, or replacing countertops and accessories such as cabinet knobs and faucets.

• Ventilation Renovation

     Ventilating shafts can be replaced if the older ones seem rusty. New shafts may be installed in places where maximum ventilation is required.

• Doors, Windows, and Glass

     Old doors which are damage can be restore using sandpaper and other techniques, or simply be replace with new ones. Window renovation includes everything from repainting existing, older frames to just replacing existing window sections with contemporary ones. Similarly, any broken edge or scratch glass can be change with another style and quality.

• Insulation

     The existing insulation of the house can be enhanced in a number of ways:

1. Draft proofing (foam strips, chimney balloon, etc.)
2. Smart thermostat.
3. Thermal curtains and blinds-based home decor.
4. Double glazing.
