Chic vs. Geek: Selling Up

Is it better to do a renovation or a full remodel?

CHIC (PEARL)

You’d be surprised how much you can change the look, feel, and value of a home with a “simple” makeover. Fresh paint in the foyer, a new backsplash in the kitchen, and a new wood stain on your cabinets will help you get a big return on your investment.

GEEK (KEVIN)

When it comes to home improvement, I’d almost always take the cheaper option. But depending on the existing bones, a new floor plan and a more open concept could increase the value of the home by leaps and bounds over a new paint job.
