8 Great Reasons to Renov8te
8 Great Reasons to Renov8te
- It is cheaper – By renovating instead of moving, you’ll save on buy, sell and moving costs, realtor fees, land transfer tax, etc., which could add up to thousands of dollars! More, if you build a new house, with all the incidentals — like site costs, fences, decks, landscaping, driveways, and flooring. Wouldn’t you rather invest that money in your house and increase your equity, than give it to someone else? Imagine how far it could go in a renovation!
- All those memories – You don’t have to leave the home you’ve filled with memories. And you won’t lose all those memories by demolishing the home they’re built on;
- Your style – You can preserve the character of your house (if you want to). We can retain the overall design and the features you like, and carry character elements through from your existing house to your renovated house;
- It is less stressful – Moving has been rated as one of life’s most stressful events. By renovating, you can have your dream home without moving, uprooting the family and resettling into a different neighborhood;
- Your dream home – You can custom-design your house to suit your exact needs, because you’ve lived there for years. If you move, on the other hand, you’ll probably still need to change your new house to suit your lifestyle requirements.
- Start now – You can start immediately, because you don’t have to sell your house or find a new house to buy.
- No need to rent – At Renov8tors, we employ extensive property protection and non-disruption measures for every renovation. This means you can stay while we work. No need to rent as you would if you demolish and rebuild or if you sell your house before finding a replacement you’re happy to buy. And remember, rents are high in Winnipeg, and availability is low.
- It is quicker – Our average renovation takes 3 months, and we give you fixed start and completion dates. An average demolition and rebuild, on the other hand, takes 6 months. And if you’re building somewhere else, there’s the wait while you sell your house and find a property. If you ‘simply’ buy a new house and move, on the other hand, you face the prospect of endless house-hunting, then you have to sell. (Or you may, in fact, find that your dream home is out of your price range or simply doesn’t exist.)
