Renovation vs. Remodel: Understanding the Differences and Deciding What's Right for You

​To the untrained ear, 'renovation' and 'remodel' might sound like synonyms. However, in construction lingo, they're distinct. Renovations generally refer to refreshing or updating existing spaces, like repainting walls or updating fixtures. Remodeling, on the other hand, means altering the structure or form, such as knocking down walls to create an open-concept living space. While renovations typically cost less and take a shorter time, remodeling can be a significant undertaking. When contemplating changes to your home, it's crucial to know what you're getting into. Whichever path you choose, BHB is here to guide and assist.
