3 Remodeling Ideas For Your Birmingham Home
If there’s one thing we’ve noticed about the coronavirus as it relates to our industry, is how homeowners in Birmingham have become keenly aware of their homes’ features – the good and the bad. From lack of privacy during a Zoom meeting to preparing meals in tired, old kitchens, to wishing for a new (or updated) deck to create more space for the family to stretch out, homeowners are re-evaluating their homes and making changes to improve its functionality, comfort, and style. And it’s not just in our area; news outlets across the nation are reporting a boom in home improvement projects -either tackled by adventurous DIYers or completed by hired professionals. For those of you who are contemplating making some changes in or around your home, we’ve put together a list of remodeling projects for you to consider.
Create An Outdoor Living Space
Even before the pandemic, creating outdoor living spaces was increasing in popularity and now that many families are staying home and social distancing, it continues to be a great way to increase living space and enhance curb appeal. Plus, fresh air is always a good thing! Outdoor living spaces can be simple in style or have all the bells and whistles.
Repair your deck and buy new outdoor furniture to relax on.
Add a custom-built deck to your home that draws your family outside for game night.
Build that screened porch you’ve always wanted – complete with a TV and fan.
Make memories around a custom firepit on your new patio.
Remodel Your Kitchen
It has often been said that the kitchen is the heart of the home. It’s where meals are cooked, where bread is broken, and more importantly it’s where families come together. But now, after months of chopping, dicing, and eating within the boundaries of your kitchen, you may have noticed that the layout isn’t ideal, the cupboards and counters are a shout-out to the 90s or earlier, and the appliances are ready for an upgrade. Benefits of a kitchen remodel include:
Reduced energy costs with energy efficient appliances
A functional and modern space for your family to enjoy
Increased home value
When it comes to kitchen remodeling, it is important to note that it can be, depending on your tastes, expensive; time consuming; and you may find yourself in over your head if you’re not well-versed in carpentry, plumbing, or electric. If you’re considering remodeling your kitchen in Hoover, Mountain Brook, or elsewhere in the Greater Birmingham metro area, please give Serve One Construction a call. We’d be happy to take a look at your current kitchen, discuss your wants/needs, and then make recommendations.
Turn Your Bathroom Into Your Private Oasis
Let’s face it, during a pandemic where everyone is home, it’s hard to find a quiet place where you can relax for a few minutes - ALONE. Perhaps that is why remodeling the bathroom has become one of the most popular home renovation projects of 2020. You can change the look and feel of your bathroom by:
Adding a fresh coat of paint and some plants
Installing a new vanity
Replacing lighting
Upgrading your old toilet with a state-of-the-art one
Whether you want to make a couple of minor changes or completely transform the look and feel of your bathroom, we recommend working with a company that specializes in bathroom remodeling. Wiring issues, wood damaged by termites, and other situations you may find yourself in the middle of can quickly derail your plans for that calm, peaceful oasis.
What If I Plan On Selling My Home Soon?
While it’s true a remodeling project can add value to your home, it may not yield that large return on investment you’d like. If you’re considering a home remodeling project because you plan on selling your home sooner than later, we encourage you to speak with a real estate agent you trust before you even begin the planning stage.
