renovation projects

Fixing up spaces

Renovation projects are undertakings to repair, restore, or update existing structures, typically homes or buildings.

The term encompasses work ranging from minor updates like repainting to major overhauls like gutting kitchens or adding rooms.

We've had renovation projects going on for months.

Unlike new construction, renovation projects work within the constraints of existing architecture, often revealing surprises like outdated wiring or hidden water damage that expand the original scope and budget.
