People often use the terms “home remodeling” and “renovating” interchangeably, but to a home improvement professional (and your wallet), there is actually a big difference. If you’re thinking of altering your residence in some fashion, learning the difference between the two will help you communicate your ideas more effectively with a professional. So, for your convenience, here is a rundown on what each term really means and the types of work they refer to.

Home Renovation

If the purpose of a home improvement project is to restore or renew an existing structure, it should be referred to as a renovation. This includes projects like painting and re-texturing a wall, adding new light fixtures, or re-finishing a floor. In short, renovations do not significantly change your house. Rather, they alter superficial details, like color schemes and patterns. Consider renovating your home when you’re mostly happy with how it looks and only want to give it a fresh new design.

Home Remodeling

If your project will entail knocking down walls, installing a new floor, or drastically altering the layout of a room, contractors will categorize it as a remodel. Installing custom kitchen cabinets will also fall under this category, since it’s usually a big project. If your kitchen, bathroom, or other space needs a major facelift, home remodeling is the right move for you.
