Something Old or Something New: Should You Build a New Home or Renovate an Old One?

What’s the Difference Between Building a New Custom Home and Renovating an Existing Home?

So you’ve made the decision to create a custom home -- congratulations, this is one of the most exciting endeavors you can engage in. But now come a lot of questions, and one thing many first time builders wonder involves whether they should build a new home or renovate an existing one?

Let’s take a look at the benefits of both.

Building New vs. Renovating an Existing Home

When you build an entirely new home, you get to design every aspect of it from the ground up, right down to the last square foot. It’s also easier to incorporate sustainability and weatherproofing elements that are foundational to the design.

At the same time, renovating an old home allows you to maintain an historic structure and retain classical design features, and it can deliver considerable savings over an entirely new build.
