Is it Remodeling Contractors in Richmond VA or should it be "Refresh" Contractors?

There has been a huge boom with remodeling contractors in Richmond, VA. But is it really remodeling, or is it refresh projects?

When you hear "Refresh" in the construction industry just think "Remodeling" although they are very similar in nature there are key differences. Take a look below for the top 5 key differences between Remodeling and Refresh projects:

1. Remodeling is the more complex than Refresh.

2. Remodeling usually entails restructuring a space.

3. Building a wall to divide a room, Remodel or Refresh? - REMODEL!

4. Refresh is just like a makeover; everything gets upgrades but not altered.

5. Remodel almost always requires permits due to reconfigurations to a room.

Long story short, if you need to get a space reconfigured it will fall under the remodeling category and an experienced crew that knows how to handle these kinds of project should do so. Remodeling is usually higher on cost because you need specialized tradesmen to perform the job to comply with state codes. YIKES!

Refresh is more of working with what you have. Don't get me wrong upgrading everything in that space will make a huge impact on the space and you will get a great ROI so do not disregard this option! I believe this is the first step that clients should take when they want a quick turnaround time and increase profits. In a refresh project you would replace cabinets, countertops, light fixtures, full repaint, trim, doors, hardware, toilets, flooring, literally EVERYTHING!! The only cavoite is that it must stay in its original location.

I hope this was of help to your next big project! Remember you don't always have to reconfigure a space to make it impactful. Sometimes all you need is paint and it that alone can transform your space!

Until the next blog, Peace!
