What’s the most significant challenge of renovating your living space? Ask any homeowner, and they’ll tell how they’ve struggled to avoid blowing their budget during a renovation.

Also, they’ll tell you how easy it is to overshoot your budget and end up with investments you never thought you needed.

That, in turn, will make you assume that you should look for ways to cut costs during a home renovation.

While that’s true for the most part, some home improvements justify a hefty pocket pinch, whether you’re looking to upgrade your living space or enhance its resale value.

In this blog, we’ll look at a few expensive home improvements worth splurging on. Let’s dive right in.

1. A New Water Heater

Most interior designers, contractors, and other professionals will emphasize the importance of skimping on new appliances while renovating your home. The last thing you want is to blow your budget because of a swanky new refrigerator or dishwasher when the previous one worked fine.

Even if you’ve got faulty and old appliances, they’ll advise you to get them repaired to maximize their lifespan.

That mindset works for most appliances, except the water heater. An old, inefficient, or faulty water heater can escalate home maintenance costs in the long run. Also, it could skyrocket your electricity bills in winter.

Worse still, water leakage from the heater could damage your bathroom’s walls, cabinets, and fixtures. Imagine walking into a newly renovated bathroom to find the walls soaked in moisture.

The best way of avoiding such a scenario is to hire a water heater installation service to replace your current heating system with a new one. Find a professional installation company that’ll inspect the existing water heater to help you assess the pros and cons of replacing it.

A water heater installation service will also provide routine maintenance for your appliance. Make sure you check online ratings and reviews of different water heater installation services in your city before hiring one.

2. Bathroom Fixtures

It’s easy to ignore the importance of high-quality bathroom fixtures. Why would you install a stainless steel shower head when a plastic one works just fine? Wouldn’t you rather save money on faucets and splurge on fancy floor tiles instead?

While that might seem like an excellent idea upfront, you’ll end up regretting it in the long run. Low-quality fixtures are vulnerable to corrosion and damage. Also, they could start leaking pretty soon, causing unpleasant stains on the walls and floors.

It’s wiser to invest in expensive bathroom fixtures made using high-quality materials. Choose a durable and corrosion-resistant material like stainless steel or brass for faucets and showerheads.

They look elegant and last for years. You could also use stone faucets to enhance the appearance of your bathroom.

3. Kitchen Cabinets

Who enjoys dealing with broken and wobbly cabinet doors every time they enter the kitchen? Absolutely no one.

Besides affecting your kitchen appearance, unstable cabinet doors are a significant safety hazard. So, it’s a good idea to invest in kitchen cabinets made using durable, high-quality materials like wood. Make sure you also get proper hinges, handles, and other attachments too.

Suppose you can upcycle existing cabinets with a few minor fixes, nothing like it. But if that isn’t the case, don’t hesitate to replace them with new ones. The last thing you want is to have a cabinet door or shelf fall from its place and injure a family member.

Instead of tossing your existing cabinet doors in the garbage, think of ways to recycle them. Find a carpenter who can repurpose the doors into a shoe storage unit or a desk for your home office.

If you can’t find a way to salvage them, consider donating the cabinets to a local recycling center.

4. Insulation

High-quality insulation is one of the biggest driving forces behind your home’s valuation.

While it may not affect visual appearance, insulation goes a long way to minimizing heating and cooling costs, thus cutting down on energy bills. Also, it makes your home more comfortable during periods of extreme weather conditions.

If you’re replacing old insulation with new, don’t miss less visible areas of your home, such as the attic and basement. Similarly, it’s a good idea to insulate your garage too.

Closing Thoughts

Overshooting your home renovation budget is every homeowner’s worst nightmare. But a few upfront investments, such as a new water heater or high-quality kitchen cabinets, can yield high returns in the long run. It’s up to you to analyze your budget and goals and make the right decisions.
