Stuck Between Staying and Starting Over?

If you’ve been walking around your house thinking, “We need more space” or “This layout just doesn’t work anymore,” you’re definitely not alone. Plenty of homeowners in Maineville, OH face the same decision:

Should we remodel… or should we move?

It’s a tough call, and the answer depends on your budget, lifestyle, and long-term goals. At RGV Contracting, we’ve helped homeowners on both sides of that decision—and we’re here to help you weigh the pros and cons so you can move forward with confidence.

Option 1: Remodeling Your Current Home

Pros of Remodeling

✅ Stay in a location you love

You already know the neighborhood, schools, commute, and community. Remodeling means you get the updates you need without leaving the comfort of your current zip code.

✅ Customize it to your needs

From open-concept kitchens to spa-like bathrooms and finished basements, you can tailor your home to your exact preferences—and fix all those “little things” that bug you.

✅ Avoid the hassle of moving

No packing, no listing, no showings, and no mortgage re-approval. Remodeling lets you avoid the chaos that comes with moving.

✅ Increase home value

Well-done renovations (especially kitchens, bathrooms, and decks) can offer a strong return on investment when it's time to sell down the road.

Cons of Remodeling

🚧 Temporary inconvenience

Yes, remodeling involves a little dust and disruption. But with RGV, we plan projects around your schedule to minimize stress and downtime.

💵 Can be a significant investment

Depending on the scope, remodeling isn’t cheap—but it’s often more cost-effective than buying in today’s housing market.

Option 2: Selling Your Home & Moving

Pros of Moving

✅ Instant upgrade

Sometimes, a new home already has the space, layout, or features you’re looking for—no work required.

✅ Opportunity for a fresh start

New schools, new neighborhood, new possibilities. Moving can offer a clean slate for your family.

Cons of Moving

🚚 Costs add up fast

Agent commissions, inspections, closing costs, moving trucks, storage, and new furniture? It adds up quickly—and often exceeds remodeling costs.

🏡 Finding the right home isn’t easy

With today’s competitive market, it may take months to find a home that checks all your boxes—and even longer to move in.

😩 Emotional toll

Leaving a home filled with memories isn’t easy. If you love your street, your backyard, or your neighbors… it might be worth updating rather than uprooting.

How to Decide: Key Questions to Ask Yourself

• Do I love my current location?
• Can my home be modified to meet my needs?
• Is moving financially realistic right now?
• Would remodeling solve my biggest frustrations?

If the answer to those last two questions leans toward yes, a remodel could be your perfect solution.
