Remodeling a starter home can be a little tricky. As a general rule of thumb, you want your home renovation projects to focus on cosmetic changes instead of major overhauls. This way, you can prevent its value from decreasing so by the time you sell your home (if you ever decide to do so), you can still expect a good price for the property. In this article, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Huntsville shares a few tips on remodeling a starter home.

Replace Kitchen Countertops

Kitchen countertops take a beating every day. If your countertops are already starting to look shabby or outdated, replace them to maintain the beauty of your kitchen. There are many good countertop options out there that are affordable, durable and low-maintenance. Consult experienced design professionals so that they can suggest materials that are suitable for your needs.

Update Flooring

Your floors may wear out more quickly than other parts of your home, so include them on your home remodel priority list. Replacing them won’t always be necessary. For instance, if you have hardwood floors, you can opt for refinishing to save major dollars. If you have carpet, it’s important to keep it clean. But if you feel like you need to replace your old carpet, make sure to get a quality carpet pad and quality carpet for the best performance..

Create Additional Living Space

If you have a growing family, additions are usually a smart way to extend your living space. You can opt to transform your basement or attic into a playroom, office or extra bedroom. Don’t forget your outdoor spaces too. If you have the space, you can add a patio or deck in your backyard.
