Sansara Offers Smart Remodel Tips for Chesterfield Homes After a Water Loss
Water damage disrupts life at home, but once cleanup is done, you have a chance to improve your home. Instead of putting everything back exactly the way it was, many homeowners use this moment to make simple upgrades in restored rooms that will enhance function and style. Here are three cost-conscious ideas to consider during the rebuild.
Go with Water-Resistant Flooring
If your old floors were carpet or basic laminate, it might be time to switch. Consider these options:
- Luxury vinyl planks handle moisture better and hold up.
- Vinyl planks look like wood but won’t swell or warp.
- Porcelain tile works well in kitchens, bathrooms, and lower levels.
Swap in Moisture-Resistant Wall Materials
After a water cleanup, drywall replacement is typical. Homeowners can choose to upgrade to mold-resistant panels, such as fiberglass-faced board or green board, which can prevent future issues in areas with high humidity. These materials cost a bit more up front, but can save you from repeat problems, especially if you’ve dealt with mold in the past. These materials are especially useful in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms.
Replace Trim with Upgraded Profiles
Baseboards often are removed during water damage restoration. When it’s time to reinstall, consider a new look, such as a taller profile. Colonial-style trim or modern square-edge options give a cleaner look. Choose pre-primed MDF or PVC for better moisture resistance, especially near floors and exterior walls. Matching window or door trim can complete the upgrade for very little extra.
If you’re ready to update one room or plan a full-floor refresh, working with a company that handles both repairs and remodeling can simplify the process.
