Two, three, four rooms at once? It's not as intimidating as you might believe.
So you've remodeled your kitchen and love it, but now your bathrooms, living room, and bedroom feel like an eyesore.
At Gilbert Design Build, we're all too familiar with this feeling—in fact, one of the most common regrets we hear from clients is that they opted to not remodel multiple rooms at once.
It may sound intimidating to tackle a multi-space remodel all in one go, but believe it or not, multi-room projects often save you in the long run on time, budget, even inconvenience. And more importantly, they put you living in your dream home faster.
More Efficient Use of Time
Of course, taking on multiple projects at once versus, say, over the course of a few years puts you in your finished dream home sooner. But there are other time-saving benefits to multi-space remodeling.
When you work with a design-build partner that supports you throughout the entire process of remodeling, we're able to complete key phases of your projects together that, if done separately, would add months to the overall timeline. Think design consultation, material sourcing, and securing permits.
Greater Potential for Savings
Remodeling is an investment in the value of your home as well as your quality of life. If you know you'll remodel certain spaces at some point, consider that it can often be more economical to tackle multiple projects at one time.
Just as multi-space remodeling can save you on time in the long run, so it can on your overall financial investment. Not only does time saved on the part of your design-build firm equal money saved on your part, but homeowners are often able to secure better rates on materials when they are ordered in larger quantities.
Lastly, it's not uncommon for design-build firms to offer additional incentives for homeowners looking to remodel more than one room. Be sure to ask your remodeler if they offer savings for customers taking on larger projects!
Fewer Long-Term Disruptions to Your Life
We understand that even if you love our work and our team, you want your home back to yourself as quickly as possible. When well-planned, a multi-space remodel project results in less long-term disruption to your daily life.
Of course, any remodel will cause temporary inconveniences. We often guide customers through how to create temporary living plans, adapt for work-from-home professionals, pets, or children in the home, and anything else that can minimize disruptions to your routine. Still, there's no avoiding the fact that your home life will look a little different over the course of your project.
When you take on multiple projects at once, you eliminate the potential for a few months of disruption every couple of years—instead, whether you decide to live elsewhere while the work is being done or to live through the project, you're on a fast track to enjoying your whole home experience for life.
Enjoy a More Cohesive Space
At the end of the day, a remodel is all about you enjoying your home more, but the contrast of one new room to multiple dated rooms makes for a disjointed in-home experience that often causes homeowners grief.
If you don't want your love for your new room to give way to discontentment with the rest of your home, a multi-space remodel is your best bet. When you take on multiple room remodels at once, the result is a beautifully seamless and cohesive whole-home experience that is truly difficult to recreate when projects are executed years apart.
Quality of Living Meets Stronger Home Value
Homeowners love making significant improvements to their spaces because at the same time that they enhance their own lifestyle, they also increase their home's value. Multi-space remodels help you achieve both of these benefits faster.
The multi-space approach creates a more cohesive, updated aesthetic and better functionality throughout the home, which of course adds to your quality of life, but also greatly appeals to potential buyers. Whether you're looking to sell your home in the near term or simply enjoy a higher home value, a multi-space remodel delivers much faster and overall stronger return on investment than many single-room projects executed over many years.
Is Multi-Space Remodeling Right for Me?
As you can see, there are very real benefits to taking on a multi-room or whole-home remodeling project—like enjoying a fully cohesive design and whole-home experience, but also some less obvious benefits like potential time and cost savings. That said, we know that multi-space remodeling isn't feasible for every homeowner. For some, the all-in cost of several rooms at once is simply a non-starter. For others, their home may just not be able to support that much change and temporary living plans all at once.
However, if concerns around time or budget inefficiencies, inconvenient living, or long-term return on investment have been preventing you from thinking about a multi-room remodel, we're here to offer reassurance! Our customers that do take this approach to home improvement always say it was worth the effort.
