Some homes are updated so often that you could think of houses as constantly ongoing works of art. In fact, according to Ruby Home, owners who've lived in a house longer than six years account for more than half of remodeling activity. If you want to make the most of your home, it’s time to consider how a remodeling contractor can upgrade it.

1. Update the Kitchen

For many families, the kitchen is their primary meeting spot. Families share meals, coffee, and drinks in the kitchen as they bond. Given how much time the average family spends in the kitchen, it should be on your priority list of rooms to remodel. Upgrading kitchens can be a considerable investment, but at the same time, tends to add a lot of value to the home.

2. Level Up the Bathrooms

Bathrooms are another part of the home that sees quite a bit of traffic. Yet, some owners may forget about upgrading their bathrooms. The right updates provided by a remodeling contractor could make your bathrooms shine. Remodeling your bathrooms is a fantastic idea if you’re thinking about selling your home in the not-so-distant future. In our experience, many home buyers pay extra close attention to the bathroom.

3. Change Your Home's Paint

New paint can go a long way in any space. Changing your home's exterior paint can also greatly improve your home. If you want to make your home feel new, putting on a bright coat of fresh paint is one of the more cost-effective ways to do so. Ask your remodeling contractor what colors are the most in-season at the moment.

4. Add a Home Addition

If you have a growing family, you might be thinking that it’s time to move into a larger home. However, expanding your current home could be a viable and even more affordable option. The right addition will allow you to stay in the home you love while also adding the space and functionality your family needs or craves.

As you can see, there are many ways you can improve your home. The above ideas are only a small sampling of the possibilities. It’s smart to sit down with a remodeling contractor to discuss your wants and needs. From there, the contractor can offer suggestions customized to your situation.
