You want to call a builder to get some work done on your terrace home, but you’re not sure of the right words to use. Is it a renovation or restoration you want done? Is there a difference? What can affect the choice of whether it is a renovation or restoration? Well, let us explore these questions and find out the difference between renovation and restoration.
The two words are often interrelated in the building and construction trade; however, it basically comes done to renewing or restoring.
Renovation
Say you were to replace the old wooden window frames with new aluminium ones, or you update the copper pipes throughout your home with PVC ones, or you replace the 70s kitchen with a sleek new modern one; this is a renovation. It is the act of changing your home from its original state rather than returning it to its former glory.
Restoration
On the other hand, a restoration would be to remove the aluminium window frames and replace them with the original style of wooden ones, to replace old copper pipes with new copper pipes, or to bring your 70s kitchen back to its original beauty.
