They see how older homes can he restored, and that their character and charm deserved to be preserved for generations to come. They also find that they can afford more square footage in better areas. If you’re ready to tackle your own fixer-upper, here are some tips for making that diamond in the rough a true home:

  • First, get a thorough inspection to ensure that your electrical, plumbing, and structural integrity are up to code. Older homes were not designed to carry the electrical load of all of our appliances, televisions, and other electronics. You may need your electrical systems upgraded to handle a more modern family life.
  • Preserve what’s important and consider repurposing whatever you can. Old bricks can make a new patio, or old doors can be transformed into a table.
  • Shop antique or vintage markets to get pieces that will match the character of your home. When you mix and match modern with vintage accents, you can help create a look and feel that embraces your home’s history and your lifestyle. Likewise, you may find that some period pieces fit better within the unique layouts
  • Since many older homes were not designed with modern entertainment in mind, television placement in living spaces can tricky. However, flat TV wall mounts help reduce the physical footprint and help solve awkward layout issues. Likewise, flat screen TV lifts also can make use of vertical space or under-bed space.
  • If you are going to adjust the layout, make sure you’re confident in your contractor’s experience and professionalism. You want a contractor who understands structural engineering so that you don’t eliminate loadbearing walls.
