Providers of home renovations in Perth reveal what renovations homeowners can do themselves and what they should leave to professionals.
Perth, WA, 18 January 2016 - The market for home renovations in Perth is extremely active. Sometimes it can seem like everyone is renovating their homes. Australians are known worldwide for their prolific and enthusiastic approach to home renovations. However, an award winning home renovations designer in Perth cautions against letting one’s enthusiasm exceed their resources.

According to Max Sardi, home renovations design expert for Next Level Extensions: “There are some jobs that are great for do it yourself projects, but there are some that should be left to professional builders who specialise in home renovations. For the most part, all structural work should be left to professionals. DIY home renovators can make errors which compromise the structural integrity of their homes and it can cost them thousands of dollars to have them professionally repaired.”

Two Main Reasons for Home Renovations in Perth

There are two main reasons why people in Perth decide to renovate their homes. The first is to enhance their lifestyle or “turn their current home into their dream home.” The second is to increase the resale value of the home.

According to most industry experts, the most cost-effective way to increase a home’s value is to work on the outside. The first and most obvious choice is to paint the house. A professional paint job done with high quality paint can increase the value of a home by as much as ten times the amount of money spent on painting it. This is because most homebuyers are affected more by the appearance of their prospective home than by any other factor.

According to Mr Sardi: “There are a lot of things a person can do to the outside of a home to make it have kerb appeal. Every prospective homebuyer is going to see the outside of a home before they see the inside. Many check out the homes on their own before even viewing them with an agent. Painting your home with a high-quality paint and making it look professional is the easiest way to increase a home’s value. But you can also make sure fundamentals are done such as removing unsightly debris from the yard or providing attractive landscaping. The better your home looks on the outside, the more receptive they will be when they walk inside.”

What to Leave to the Professionals

Mr Sardi and other home renovation professionals in the Perth area recommend that homeowners leave heavy or structural work to professionals. According to Mr Sardi: “The average homeowner doesn’t have the experience or the resources that it takes to do structural work on a home. They can easily compromise their home’s structure and cost themselves thousands of dollars if they try to do it themselves. It’s better to just let the professionals do it from the beginning.”
