It's probably unlikely you'll ever need to grab Sylvester by his fluffy tail and practice your ropemanship in the family room. But let's just say you did. Would your weatherboard Edwardian end up looking like a scene from Dexter? And would the neighbours be forced to call in the RSPCA?
I've got one word for you: renovate!
A growing number of people are choosing to keep their home and renovate rather than buying or building somewhere else. It makes sense. If you live in a thriving area, with friends and family nearby, why give up your lifestyle for a bigger house? Cost-wise renovating can work out much better than buying or building too.
Launceston-based renovation experts Dean Watts and Philip Kerkham from Advantage Carpentry And Joinery have noticed more and more people choosing to invest in their current property for the long-term -- going down the renovation path rather than uprooting their family for a new home. Oh, and don't be deceived by the name, Advantage Carpentry and Joinery do more than just kitchen and bathroom joinery. They've worked on everything from small bathroom renovations through to full house renovations and extensions.
Another benefit of renovating over moving is you are the expert on how your house works -- what you love and what drives you nuts (like that kitchen bench that's way too low, making you look like Quasimodo every time you do the dishes). So you're in the perfect position to get things right!
Dean and Philip explain why they love renovating - they get enormous satisfaction seeing how excited their customers get when they walk into their newly restored, extended or completely made-over home!
Businesses like Advantage Carpentry and Joinery are one-stop-shop renovators. They handle everything from sorting out your plan, organising council approvals and engineering drawings through to preparing timelines and, of course managing the whole project. All you have to worry about is enjoying your stunning renovation, achieved with the help of their team of nine experienced tradesmen and sub-contractors.
You don't even have to leave the house and deal with the hassle and expense of organising separate accommodation. Advantage Carpentry And Joinery are used to working in homes while the families are still living there. For this reason all sites are supervised to ensure the highest level of care, respect and cleanliness is maintained during the renovation process.
