Which is right for you: renovation or new construction?

The big question when building your ideal home is: remodel or build new? It’s like deciding whether to revamp your old clothing or start afresh. Both solutions sound good, but which is best? 88 Homes will explain it with the proper mix of sarcasm, education, and sales pizazz.

Renovation: Home Makeover (No Botox)

Start with renovation. Renovation may be your greatest friend if you’ve gotten attached to the walls that have seen your daily coffee spills and the floors that have seen innumerable puppy messes. Keep the bones of your home but give it a much-needed facelift.

Why Renovation May Be Best

Sentimental Value Preservation

Uneven kitchen cabinets and creaky floors tell a tale about your property. Renovation preserves charm while improving space. Maintaining your favourite shoes but changing the worn soles. Style and comfort can coexist.

Budget-friendly (kinda)

Renovation may be cheaper than building new, depending on how deep you go. Small upgrades like kitchen counters or bathroom tiles are cheap. But taking down walls and reconfiguring everything may turn “affordable renovation” into “new construction”.

Pro tip: Call 88 Homes before you start hammering—we’ll help you figure out costs.

Location, Location, Location

Love your neighbourhood? Renovation lets you keep your morning coffee place and neighbourhood chatter. Don’t give up that ideal location for your dream home.

Easy customization

Sometimes all your house needs is a fresh coat of paint, new flooring, or a modern kitchen. Renovations let you realize your vision without starting over. Plus, 88 Homes can help you design and execute the perfect remodel with little disturbances (we’ll try!).

The Clean Slate Option: New Construction

Conversely, new construction. It’s like putting out your old phone because it can’t keep up. New construction offers unlimited options without the burden of an old house. Why New Construction May Win:

Fully customizable

Want a home office, five bedrooms, a spa-like bathroom, and an Instagram-worthy open-concept kitchen? You can design your dream home without compromise with new construction. 88 houses builds unique houses to suit your needs, style, and Pinterest board.

Efficiency in Energy

Let’s face it: older homes waste energy. Smart thermostats and eco-friendly insulation are standard in new homes. You’ll save money on utilities and feel like an eco-hero. Everything is new, so you won’t need the plumber every few months.

Lower Maintenance

A major benefit of new building is that everything is new, reducing repairs. Old wiring, plumbing, and flooring that groan like horror movies will be gone. We at **88 Homes** will build your new house to last so you can spend more time enjoying it and less time mending it.

Future-proof

New construction allows foresight. A new house gives more versatility, whether it’s expanding rooms for a growing family or installing the latest electronics. You don’t have to modify an outdated space for future demands.

Which Fits You?

If you’re on the fence (and fences are generally the first thing to need renovating), consider your tastes, budget, and long-term goals. Renovations are ideal if you love your property and area but want to update. However, new construction lets you design a lifestyle-specific home.
