Covering a 60-70 mile radius
From bespoke carpentry work to house extensions, Peak Carpentry & Building provides a variety of carpentry and building services in Portsmouth and surrounding areas of Hampshire. In our line of work, we find that many of our customers can confuse home renovations and home refurbishments with each other. For us, this is hardly surprising considering how similar the services involved can be and even the names themselves. To help dispel this confusion, we would like to explain what property renovations and refurbishments are so you can make a more informed decision on future home improvements.
House renovations are intrusive, involving repairs and structural updates. Here are some examples of projects that fall under the bracket of home renovations:
As you may be able to tell from the above examples, property renovations involve developing an existing property to restore it to a good state of repair and to customise its function. Whether it’s an extension or conversion, renovation projects can include making invasive changes to the building. This type of work is perfect for homeowners in Portsmouth who want to transform and mould their property to suit their design preferences and needs.
After covering home renovations, let’s look at refurbishments in contrast. Examples of home refurbishment services include:
Can you see the difference?
The emphasis of refurbishment projects is more on smaller upgrades and cosmetic changes. Home refurbishment projects are ideal for residents in Portsmouth who are happy with the structure of their house but would like to update the existing space.
The effects of wear and tear and passing trends can detract from the look and feel of your home, and refurbishment work can help create an interior you love. These services can be particularly appealing to those who live in properties that have with dated interiors. Refurbishments are typically smaller and less invasive projects for homeowners to take on and, therefore, will take less time to complete.
