Why Renovating Your Home Might Be the Best Way to Achieve Your Dream Home

Written by Kerry Horncastle | Apr 8, 2025 2:00:00 PM

When you envision your dream home, what do you see? A spacious kitchen? A luxurious bathroom? A beautiful sunroom to enjoy the Florida sunshine? Whatever your dream may be, you might be surprised to learn that renovating your current home can be the best and most cost-effective way to get there.

While moving to a new home seems like an easy solution, it comes with a host of hidden costs, hassles, and headaches. On the other hand, home renovation offers a chance to transform your current space into the home you've always dreamed of—without the stress of a move.

At Avery Construction, we believe that renovating your home is often a smarter, more convenient option than moving. Here’s why.

1. Renovations Are Often Cheaper Than Moving

The first question on everyone’s mind when considering a move is often, “How much will it cost?” Moving might seem like the easiest way to get the home you want, but the hidden costs of buying a new home can quickly add up. Here are just a few expenses to consider when moving:

  • Down payments and closing costs: These can total thousands of dollars.
  • Real estate agent commissions: Typically 6% of the sale price.
  • Moving expenses: Whether you're hiring professionals or renting a truck, the cost can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars.
  • Home inspections and appraisals: These fees are another cost when buying a new property.

In contrast, home renovations usually cost a fraction of the amount it would take to buy a new home. For example, remodeling your kitchen or adding a new room can significantly increase your home’s value—without the major price tag of purchasing a new property.

Avery Construction can help you design and plan a renovation that maximizes your investment and ensures you get the dream home you’ve always wanted—without the sticker shock.

2. Renovations Save You the Hassle of Packing, Moving, and Settling In

Packing up everything you own and moving it to a new location is a major task. Think about all the time, effort, and stress that come with:

  • Sorting through and packing your belongings.
  • Finding moving companies and managing the logistics.
  • Unpacking and trying to settle into a new environment.

If you’ve been in your current home for a while, you’ve probably accumulated memories, relationships with neighbors, and a deep connection to the area. Renovating allows you to stay in the comfort of your home without all the headaches of moving.

Renovating your current home is also less disruptive to your day-to-day life. With careful planning and project management by Avery Construction, we can minimize the disruption to your routine while still transforming your space into your dream home.

3. Keep the Features You Love—And Update What You Don’t

One of the best things about renovation is that you don’t have to sacrifice the aspects of your home you love. Whether it’s the location, the views, or even the layout, renovating allows you to keep what’s great about your space while making custom improvements to suit your needs.

  • Want a larger kitchen? We can expand and modernize your cooking space.
  • Looking for a luxurious master bathroom? We’ll design a custom retreat that fits your style.
  • Need an extra bedroom or home office? Let’s add a functional room that fits seamlessly into your home’s design.

With Avery Construction, we’ll work with you to create a plan that incorporates your personal preferences while adding value to your home. Whether it’s a simple remodel or a major overhaul, we can help you design your dream home without the need to start over in a completely new location.

4. Increase Your Home’s Value Without the Stress of Buying and Selling

In today’s real estate market, it’s not always easy to find your dream home at an affordable price. Even if you do find something you love, the process of selling your existing home and buying a new one can be time-consuming and stressful.

Renovating allows you to add value to your property and increase its marketability, without the need to navigate the competitive housing market. Whether you're adding curb appeal, increasing square footage, or upgrading key features like your kitchen or bathroom, a renovation is an investment that pays off.

Plus, you'll avoid the emotional rollercoaster of trying to sell your home, negotiate offers, and deal with the uncertainty of moving to a new place.

5. Flexibility and Customization

When you buy a new home, you are often limited to the layout, design, and features the house already has. But with a home renovation, you can make everything as custom as you want.

Want a spacious open-concept floor plan? No problem. Dreaming of a spa-like bathroom? Let’s make it happen. From floor plans to interior design, you have complete control over the renovation process.

At Avery Construction, we specialize in turning your vision into reality—whether that’s a full-scale home renovation or smaller updates that make a big impact.
