Home remodeling not only enhances the appearance of your property. It also provides the opportunity to upgrade fixtures so that you can continue enjoying the space for years to come. However, because the process is a large undertaking that requires money and time, you may be unsure if it's necessary. The following indicators will alert you that the home is due for an update.

When to Remodel Your Home

1. Leaking Roof

An old and outdated roof can compromise your entire home, with leaks from the exterior affecting the furniture, ceiling, walls, and floors. The water damage may also lead to mold growth, which can have dangerous health effects on members of your household. While fully renovating your roof is the first step in this situation, you should also renovate any rooms affected by the surface's condition to avoid future issues.

2. Chipping Paint

Over time, dirt and sunlight can affect the home's walls. They may slowly peel at the edges, show signs of fading, or have extensive scuff marks and scratches. 

When remodeling, there are many options to update the walls. For instance, you can experiment with alternating paint colors, wood panels, wallpapers, or tiles. To switch up the look of your home and add complexity, install a covering that creates an accent wall. Cleaning and repainting your baseboards will also make a difference in the finished project. 

3. Excessive Dust

Too much dust throughout the home can indicate more than simply a need for cleaning. An excess of contaminants is common in old properties where the roof, floorboards, and furniture are old enough to deteriorate, shedding small particles faster than new fixtures and decor. 

Too much dust can also trigger allergies in sensitive individuals, negatively impacting the health of your household. While the contaminant seems harmless, it can scratch furniture finish, dull upholstery texture, and cause electronics to overheat.
