Look at what the existing home gives you.
Good structure, a great location, sentimental value, and a layout that can be improved are all reasons a renovation may make sense.
Be honest about what cannot be fixed easily.
Low ceilings, poor foundations, awkward additions, major water issues, and a layout that needs everything changed can make a renovation more expensive than it first appears.
Compare the path, not just the dream photo.
A builder can help compare the practical steps, permit realities, site limits, budget, and timeline before you commit emotionally to one direction.
