There is a fine line between renovating your house and going for a remodelling of your house. People often get confused between the two terms. Last month, we renovated our kitchen, and it was then I had this conversation with my little sister, who is in seventh grade. She asked me the difference between renovation and remodel and I told her that a renovation project is a smaller part of the remodelling. 

What is the Key Difference Between Remodel and Renovate?

Although people use the terms interchangeably, there are a few things to understand about the remodel and renovation difference.

Renovation

When you are renovating your home, it means you’re making the space more attractive and functional without changing the overall structure or purpose of the space. For example, renovation projects include painting your cabinets, installing new light fixtures or cabinets, repainting the interior of your home, or replacing a bathroom faucet. 

Remodel

Remodelling your house means you are changing the whole structure of your home. This includes building an additional bedroom or restructuring the existing bathroom or kitchen. In simple terms, not all remodels are large projects. You can simply convert your existing bedroom into a home office and call it a remodel. 

So, I told my sister that the key difference between the both is the structure and purpose of the particular room. 

I have shared a table below for your reference, highlighting the major difference between remodel and renovate.

Factors

Renovation

Remodel

Cost

Typically costs less

It requires electrical 

and construction work, making it more expensive

Time

Remodel can take up to days and even a month to complete

Work

It focuses more on the outward appearance of the home.

It is changing the entire purpose of the room. 

I hope this answer will give you an idea on the renovation and remodeling difference.
