Facelift Remodeling vs. Custom Remodeling

Thinking it’s time to update your home? Then it’s important to decide whether you need a simple facelift remodel or a full custom renovation. There are many ways to transform your living space, but the best results come from proper planning. At Artos Inc., our designers, architects, and builders work together to bring your vision to life — tailored to your needs.

What Makes a Remodel Custom?

A custom home renovation is a comprehensive project that can alter not just the design, but the entire atmosphere of a room, multiple areas, or the whole house.

Such a project typically includes:

  • Major changes. Unlike a standard facelift, a custom remodel may involve structural work. If necessary, we’ll strip the structure down to its frame to achieve your goals. Sometimes, the changes are significant.
  • Client-driven needs. We don’t use a one-size-fits-all template. Every cosmetic upgrade is designed around the client’s tastes, lifestyle, and specific needs. Both large and small interior details are taken into account to make the space more functional.
  • Close collaboration. Customizing a project requires constant communication with the client. We work hard to reflect your ideas, lifestyle, and comfort preferences in every phase. A dedicated project manager keeps you informed and involved throughout the process.
  • Long-term planning. A custom remodel isn’t just about solving today’s problems — it’s about creating timeless solutions that will stay relevant for years to come. Unlike quick fixes, it’s a thoughtful investment in your quality of life.

At Artos Inc., we believe in honest collaboration. Transparency, care, and attention to detail help us exceed client expectations and build lasting trust.

What Is a Facelift Remodel?

A facelift remodel focuses on surface-level updates and is easier to execute than a major renovation. In a custom facelift, the layout remains the same, but worn-out finishes and outdated features are replaced. For example, a kitchen remodel may involve removing old cabinets or appliances and installing new ones — the same applies to bathrooms.

This type of update can enhance functionality without changing the structure or addressing space limitations. While it won’t deliver a full transformation of the home, it greatly increases comfort and comes at a lower cost.

When Is a Facelift Remodel the Right Choice?

Looking for a quick and cost-effective way to refresh your home without drastic changes? Then this option is for you.

Facelift remodeling lets you:

  • Keep the existing layout but update the aesthetics.
  • Increase property value before selling without major spending.
  • Refresh your home without disrupting your daily routine.
  • Stay within a set budget.

Facelift Remodeling Ideas

Here are a few simple upgrades that can make a big difference:

  • Paint walls or cabinets.
  • Replace light fixtures.
  • Install new cabinet hardware.
  • Upgrade faucets and plumbing fixtures.
  • Replace countertops and backsplashes.
  • Add or replace windows.
  • Refresh landscaping.

Project Costs

Costs vary depending on the scope, materials, and complexity of the project. But when you work with us, you can start by specifying your budget — and we’ll help you find solutions to meet it.

What Is Custom Cosmetic Remodeling?

Basic cosmetic remodels are done using generic solutions that may only partially satisfy the homeowner.

A custom cosmetic remodel, on the other hand, adapts the space to meet your exact needs — with no compromises or cookie-cutter limitations.

When Should You Consider a Custom Cosmetic Remodel?

A custom project may be the right choice if:

  • Your current living space no longer fits your lifestyle or needs.
  • You plan to stay in your home long-term and want to enhance its comfort.
  • You have ideas that go beyond simple refreshes — such as creating specialized rooms.

Custom Remodeling Ideas

  • Finishing a basement or attic. Turn unused space into guest rooms, a home theater, or a laundry room.
  • Creating a home office. Design a comfortable workspace for remote work.
  • Foyer remodels. Add a dedicated laundry area or increase functionality.
  • Installing custom cabinets. Tailored cabinetry fits your space perfectly and makes the most of every inch.
  • Merging rooms. Combine the kitchen with another room for an open-concept layout.
  • Bathroom transformation. Upgrade fixtures, tiles, and lighting for a modern feel.
  • Master bedroom makeover. Add a walk-in closet, en-suite bathroom, or a relaxation zone.
  • Home additions. Expand the home with a sunroom, larger kitchen, or extra bedrooms.

How Much Does a Custom Remodel Cost?

Custom remodeling will cost more than standard updates. However, your cost of ownership will go down in the long run thanks to energy-efficient systems, smart plumbing, and durable solutions.
