Home Extension Specialist
Most of us have been there. You bought your home several years ago and it was the perfect size for you. Now your needs have changed, and your home has become too crowded. You need a bigger home. However, you really like the area and your neighbours and are reluctant to move. A house extension is the perfect solution and a popular choice in this situation. Apart from the obvious advantage – more space for your family – it offers several other benefits:
1. You will save time and money
Instead of paying a huge amount of stamp duty and other fees associated with the purchase of a new home (total fees and charges for the purchase of an existing home at Melbourne’s median price of ca. $974,000 are almost $43,000!) you can simply increase the space of your current home. There are also fees for real estate agents if you wish to sell your existing home and the cost of moving. Putting that money towards expanding your home with an extension is going to save you money in the long run. And, you don’t need to spend any time trying to sell your home or house hunting, not to mention the actual time for the move itself.
2. You can make it your own
Rather than starting over in a new home, you get to personalise your existing one even more with a home extension. Home extensions are an excellent way of creating the amount of space you need in the way you want. Plus, you can get input from those who live in the home with you, making sure everyone is absolutely happy with the design. Being able to alter your home with an extension is a real opportunity to create the home of your dreams. Whether it is an extra bedroom or a new space for everyone to hang out in and enjoy, you will not regret building onto your home.
3. You will increase the value of your home
Not only will you save money in the short term, but home extensions are also a great way to add value to your home. If you build an extension you extend (pun intended!) the living area of your home and it will be even more functional with additional spaces to enjoy, from stunning modern kitchens, to comfortable bedrooms, to exciting indoor and outdoor entertaining areas.




Kitchens
Are you wondering if it’s time to renovate your kitchen? Maybe you’ve been thinking about it for a few years or maybe you recently bought your home. The truth is that renovating your kitchen has many benefits.
The kitchen isn’t just a place to cook and eat. It’s the beating heart of any home. This is where family and friends gather during parties, where midnight snack discussions take place, homework gets done, and major decisions are made.
There are countless good reasons why you might want to give your kitchen a makeover. Here are the most important reasons:
1. Increase the value of your home
Whether you are looking to stay in your home for a few more years or through retirement, renovating your kitchen is a smart way to invest in your home. Homeowners often remodel their kitchens to increase the value or marketability of a property. A remodelled and attractive kitchen will appeal to prospective home buyers more than a boring and outdated one. Real estate agents have known this fact for years. That’s one reason why a remodelled kitchen or bath is frequently cited as a home’s major feature in a real estate ad. This increases your chances of your house selling quickly at an optimum price, all the while enjoying your updated home in the meantime.
2. Use space efficiently
Professional kitchen renovators can look at the space you have available in your kitchen now and tell you how to make the most of it. By removing and relocating cabinets, knocking through partitions or walls, removing unnecessary closets, and moving appliances, your kitchen can grow substantially so you have more space to make the most of. This is also the perfect time to figure out just how much storage space you need. With the right amount of storage, you’ll find that keeping your kitchen organised and tidy is much easier.
3. Upgrading appliances
Remodelling your kitchen brings you the perfect opportunity to upgrade your appliances. Not only will this bring you a fresh new look and allow you to embrace cutting edge technology, upgrading your appliances can be essential to safety. Older appliances are not only hard on your energy bill, they can also sometimes be a fire hazard or even cause electric shocks.
No matter the reason, the key to a successful kitchen renovation is doing your due diligence and starting with a thorough design plan. Another important consideration is choosing an experienced, qualified home renovator to work with, like Advantage Builders who can help you through the design and construction process.
