Renovation (also called remodeling) is the process of improving broken, damaged, or outdated structures. It applies to both commercial and residential buildings. Renovations can involve repairing, renewing, or restoring a property to a better condition. Renovations can range from minor cosmetic updates to major overhauls. Here are some common types of home renovations:

1. Interior Renovations:
   • Kitchen Renovation: Upgrading cabinets, countertops, appliances, and flooring.
   • Bathroom Renovation: Refreshing fixtures, tiles, and layout.
   • Basement Finishing: Converting an unfinished basement into usable space (e.g., a home office, gym, or entertainment area).
