home renovations
Fixing up property
Home renovations are improvements or updates made to a residential property—remodeling a kitchen, adding a bathroom, replacing floors, or expanding living space.
The term covers both cosmetic upgrades and structural changes.
Renovations may increase a home's value or simply make it more livable: We're putting off the home renovations until spring.
The singular form typically modifies other nouns: home renovation project, home renovation costs.
