Renovation is the process of remodeling, repairing, and/or upgrading a residential structure to bring it up to current standards. This can involve anything from minor repairs and cosmetic updates to larger projects such as adding more space or making structural changes. Renovations are carried out for both practical and aesthetic reasons, with the ultimate goal being to make a home safer, more functional, and more attractive.

Different types of renovations include plumbing and electrical work, flooring installation, painting and decorating, and window replacement. Ultimately, the renovation process should improve the quality of life in a home while also increasing its value.
