Are you asking questions like, ‘How can I add value to my home”? You might want to be able to put your home up for sale for an attractive price, or your interior is outdated, and you want to make it up to date. Remodeling is an excellent place to start.

Proper remodeling calculation is necessary to add the value you require for your home. In other words, it’s best to consult the right structural engineering firm or firms offering tenant improvement services like Meee Design Build, to manage and execute your ideas, when making remodeling decisions for your home.

Meanwhile, here are a few remodeling ideas to add value to your home;

Conversions

One of the simplest ways to remodel your home is by converting existing spaces for different use. Making use of corridors, hallways that may not be in use, or combining the dining with the kitchen to form kitchen dining will add value to your home.

For soft-story buildings, converting empty spaces like garages into living spaces can be beneficial as it not only adds value to your home but also increases your home’s ability to withstand lateral loads. However, achieving all these conversions will require the design expertise of an architect or a structural engineer.

The design possibilities for conversions are unlimited. You can consider changing the walls of your home, converting spaces to add a modern-day bathroom, more extensive wardrobes, basically, anything you can imagine.

Additions

Another way you can remodel your home is by making additions. Have you been wanting to remodel your home, but feel you don’t have space for it? Well, that should no longer be an issue. With the right tenant improvement services, you can add space.

The overall square footage of your home will increase when you make additions. A bathroom addition is a leading addition for a high return on investments, coming after bathrooms are bedrooms. In high-end regions, Heated and cooled sunrooms, as well as enclosed decks, can add value to your home, especially during climates where their usage can last most of the year.

However, if you own a large family, you can add value to your home by adding rooms like libraries, offices, gyms, and so on. It is important to note that making additions to your home require permits. Therefore, consulting structural engineering firms that offer tenant improvement services, to acquire permits and carry out your additions.

Accessibility

The layout or space distribution of your home can affect the value of your home. Wrongful space allocations in bathrooms, or bedrooms, unnecessary space-wasting, enclosed rooms, will not be appealing to prospective buyers.  Therefore, integrating the open plan design is imperative. This increases the value of your home since it involves minimizing the use of enclosed rooms.

However, for you to achieve accessibility when remodeling your home, you must consult a structural engineer to help with the appropriate design for your home conversion or additions. Remodeling your home to include spaces accessible by the elderly or disable, also adds value to your home. Replacing old staircases, widening kitchen and bedroom doorways, installing ramps alongside steps can increase the value of your home.

Efficiency

Green building is becoming prevalent and rightfully so. With the current state of the environmental health, and with various greenhouse emission effect news doing the rounds lately, homeowners seek energy-efficient homes. Therefore, remodeling to a green building will add value to your home.

Installing a green roof, adding appropriate insulation like foams, insulated concrete forms, or a combination of both, upgrading your HVAC system will in no doubt add value to your home. Additionally, the installation of solar panels, smart windows, and appropriate lighting can increase your home value. Potential buyers love the idea of an environmentally conscious home.

Safety

In seismic regions, increasing your home’s ability to withstand earthquake loads will add value to your home. For a structural engineer, safety is the number one priority. Therefore, increasing the safety of your home will require a structural engineer.

Other homes can also increase their safety by utilizing engineering evaluation or inspection for possible structural failures or deviations from building codes.

Starting Over

Although starting over is not technically remodeling, but it is also a way to add value to your home. If basic remodeling does not meet your demand, starting your home from scratch might be an option. A new custom home involves the latest technologies of green building practices that can add value to your home.

Whether it’s a small or an extensive building remodeling you require, Meee Design Build is here for you.
