What are Home Renovations?


Home renovation, home improvements, and home remodeling are terms often used interchangeably, but they have distinct meanings and purposes. Home Renovations focus on restoring or updating existing spaces without altering their fundamental structure or purpose. The goal of renovation is to refresh or modernize a space while maintaining its original layout. This could include tasks like repainting walls, replacing old flooring, updating kitchen cabinets, or repairing damaged features. Renovations are generally less invasive than remodeling and are often aimed at improving the aesthetics or functionality of a home without major structural changes.
