The words “renovate” and “remodel” are often used as synonyms when it comes to real estate and contracting. However, for professionals working in one or more of these industries, these terms mean two very different things. The difference is essential that renovation means restoring a former state, while remodeling means creating something new. Renovate is to revive. Applying this definition to the work could mean repainting or designing cabinets, installing new luminaires and adding other surfaces and finishes. Remodel is to change the structure. Transforming the layout, structure, and style of a room.
