Anecdotally, we find that customers sometimes confuse house refurbishments with property renovations. Although the two are similar, we would like to clarify the difference between the two. After all, when it comes to home extensions, loft conversions or any of our services, it’s important to have a good understanding of what you’re investing in. We hope we can provide some clarity on this subject.
Let’s start with property renovations. Most renovation projects completed by a building company like ours involve major changes to a property's structure or layout. This could involve removing interior walls, raising ceilings, extending the size of certain rooms or adding an extension or conversion onto the property. For example, a homeowner in Poole may wish to knock down a wall between the current living room and kitchen and create an open-plan area with an integrated kitchen and living room. As a whole, home renovations are considered to be more invasive than most home refurbishments.
When compared to renovations, house refurbishments have a different focus. While renovations aim to transform the property, refurbishment work is focused on updating the existing home and making minimal changes. These property upgrades are more about repairing and restoring the house while maintaining the original look and feel. Some examples of refurbishments may include plastering and decorating, fixing faults (e.g. electrics or plumbing) or entirely replacing broken fixtures with new ones (e.g. Windows and Doors). Because building refurbishments are less disruptive to the house as a whole, they can be quicker to complete than property renovations and vary more in terms of pricing.
We hope this helps you better understand the difference between house refurbishments and property renovations. If you’re local to Poole and need a building company for guidance on which service best suits you, please call us on 07506 299423. Our team of building contractors is experienced and knowledgeable in all sorts of home improvements, such as home extensions and loft conversions, and is always happy to help. We will take time to note down your questions and concerns and provide you with an expert opinion to clear up any confusion you may have regarding domestic construction.
