In the words of the Clash, should I stay or should I go?
It’s not easy to decide whether to invest money into renovating your home or sell and move into a place that already has what you need. What can oftentimes make the decision to move more attractive, is the difficulty of finding a General contractor that you can trust. At Stylux, we know this, which is why our North Vancouver renovation service is tailored to be fully customizable and customer-friendly. We take our time in creating a renovation plan that works for you, with a team that remains transparent, communicative, friendly, and professional throughout the entire process.
But how do you know which route to choose? Let’s explore the pros and cons of each.
Location
To begin with, start by thinking about whether your current home makes your life easier, or more difficult. Think about your daily routine and your daily commute to the places you visit on a regular basis. Is getting there difficult? Think about the friends and family you visit, your job, your children’s school, and extracurriculars, or the fun weekend activities you like to do.
If your home’s current location is less than ideal, perhaps moving is something you should consider. If it works for you, it’s time to shift your focus on the actual property itself. Does your house or apartment have all the features you need? If the renovation costs of getting your home to function properly or having additional features added cost more than the home’s real value, it might be a poor financial decision to stay.
Already love your home but would love it even more with some added features and an updated look? Great! An efficient and custom-tailored North Vancouver renovation with Stylux is exactly what you need.
Future Growth
It’s essential to think about your future needs. Are you planning on expanding your family? Do you work from home and require a home office or studio space? Do you want to move outside of the city and have a big backyard with your own garden? If your current home doesn’t allow for these changes, moving is your best bet.
If your current home does allow you to grow into space with everything you need, our team will take the time to sit down with you and make sure we design an action plan that far surpasses your expectations. We want to see your family in a home that fits your every need and is built to grow with you as your family’s life progresses generation after generation.
Emotional Connection
People have extremely special connections to their homes, especially when they’ve lived there for years. From families who have inherited homes from their parents or grandparents to those who have memories of their children being born, raised, and going off to college. Those are irreplaceable memories and feelings that no new home can give.
Consider your emotional connection to your home. Is it too special to give up, but just simply outdated? If you’re not willing to part with your home, whether a house or an apartment, renovating is a great way to update a home and have it feel brand new, while also retaining its old heritage feel and emotions attached to it.
