RENOVATIONS AUCKLAND
Reasons for Home Renovations Auckland
There are many different reasons for undertaking home renovations. Maybe you love your current home, but changing circumstances means you can change things up a bit? Perhaps your current property just isn’t working for you, but you love the area and don’t want to move?
Or perhaps you can’t afford to move in Auckland’s current high price property market and need to make your current property suit you better.
Whatever the reason, high-quality renovations can be a good alternative to moving or building from scratch. Renovations allow you to truly create a house that works for you and suits your style. However, it is important as with any building project that your home renovations are done professionally, safely and sympathetically to the existing property.
You can carry out renovations to any part of your house, but some renovation types are particularly popular. Don’t forget basic renovations either. Not every job has to completely change a room or the layout of your home. Simple renovations like re-cladding, re-doing windows and doors or adding insulation can all add value to your property as well as improving your living conditions.
Kitchen Renovations
Kitchen renovations: one of the most popular rooms for renovating. Updating your kitchen not only gives the room a new lease of life, but it can also add plenty of value to your property should you come to sell. Kitchen renovations can be tricky to get right, though, so they need careful planning and need to be built to a high-standard.
Once you have your ideas and perhaps inspiration from the internet or magazines, it is good to talk to the professionals at Build Right Contractors.
Bathroom Renovations
This is also one of the most popular rooms for renovating. Updating your bathroom not only gives the room a new lease of life, but it can also add plenty of value to your property should you come to sell.
There are plenty of reasons why bathroom renovations are so popular. Not only do they bring a sparkling fresh look to your bathroom or toilet, but they’re a great way to maximise a small space and add efficient solutions for water and power use. Plus, renovating your bathroom with Build Right is a great way to add value to your property.
House extensions
If you are running out of space, a house extension is a great way to add a room or two. Add one storey or two for extra living and bedroom space, or increase value by adding a garage or more storage space.
If the flow of your house doesn’t quite work then a little internal remodelling could be the answer. Clever renovations can open up your property to create better-connected living areas or an ensuite bathroom. A move to more open plan living can really change the look and feel of an older home. Remember to consider structural issues if you are thinking about knocking down walls.
The garage is an area of the house that is often overlooked regarding renovation opportunities. However, they are good areas to look at, especially if you want to create extra rooms but can’t extend your house. Anything can be created, from home offices to extra bedrooms to teenage hangouts or man caves.
Outdoor renovations
While you are planning renovations consider your section too. A stylish wooden deck can improve your indoor-outdoor flow and add value by giving outdoor entertaining options.
How to get the best from your home renovations
If you are thinking of renovating a house, no matter how big or small, it is important to get things right to get the best result. Renovations can be just as complex as a new build, so you need to plan just as carefully. Here are three key things to do before embarking on any home renovations.
Gather your ideas together
Before you start with your renovations, sit down and get your ideas together. Have a look through design magazines or renovation galleries on the internet, talk to family members and think about what you want to achieve in form and function. When you are planning your renovations, you should also consider the future. If you plan to stay, think about how the remodelling will work if your lifestyle changes. If you think you might sell in the future, make sure that your renovations will add value and work for you. Very personal changes and impractical changes can make your property less appealing to buyers.
Work out a budget:
While it would be nice to create whatever dream renovation you have in mind, you are likely to be limited by budget. Work out how much you can reasonably afford without putting too much strain on your finances, and remember to factor in a contingency fund if things don’t quite go to plan.
Once you have figured out your budget, you might need to think about which areas you are willing to compromise during your renovations. For example, are you willing to make an extension slightly smaller or use lower budget fittings and fixtures to reduce costs?
