Understanding the Differences: Renovation vs. Remodelling

While the terms "renovation" and "remodelling" are often used interchangeably, there are subtle differences between the two:

Aspect Renovation Remodelling
Scope Typically focuses on cosmetic improvements or upgrades Involves altering the structure, layout, or design
Examples Refinishing floors, painting walls, replacing fixtures Knocking down walls, adding rooms, changing layouts
Cost Often less expensive than remodeling Can be more costly due to structural modifications
Permit Requirement May not always require permits depending on changes More likely to require permits due to structural work
