Whether you’re simply changing up the look of your home or replacing outdated parts of your residence, you’ll surely find yourself planning a home improvement project at some point in time. It can be quite an exciting experience for any homeowner. And in the midst of doing the project, it’s not uncommon for some people to get carried away and overdo the renovation.
Instead of making you feel content, over improvement can have negative effects. Oftentimes it drives up the market value of your home, making it too expensive and difficult to sell. It also typically requires a high level of maintenance, which can be costly to keep up in the long term.
In this post, Oberg Roofing & Remodeling — one of the area’s top roofing companies — shares some tips on how you can avoid over improving your home.
Highly Customized Renovations
Customizing your home according to your specific needs and tastes can only be ideal at a certain point. For instance, choosing an unusual color for your accent wall may seem perfect for your personality. But if you ever decide to sell your home eventually, potential buyers might not be able to appreciate the unique paint color you have chosen, forcing you to repaint the wall. To avoid the inconvenience and extra cost, you might want to select a timeless design and a neutral color palette. Don’t worry because you can always try to inject your personality in other aspects of your interior, such as the furniture or decor you choose.
Elaborate Landscaping
Creating a beautiful and relaxing outdoor space does not mean going overboard with your garden or constructing a very large pool. Much like in roof replacement, you can still opt for simpler styles or designs and at the same time create an impact on your home’s curb appeal.
Extensions and Conversions
It’s OK to aim for bigger living spaces inside your home. But keep in mind that extensions and additions usually come with hefty building permit fees since these projects often involve new walls, foundation, and roofing. Apart from that, if adding onto your interior space will come at the expense of losing a significant portion of your yard, you might want to consider what its results would look like. Make sure that your outdoor spaces would still be proportional to the size of your actual home.
