Before renovation, abandoned or long-unmaintained houses look hopeless: cracked walls, leaking roofs, broken windows, rodents, and overgrown surroundings.
During renovation, reality is revealed — termites, weak beams, mold, rotten wood. It may feel overwhelming, but prioritizing structure first slowly brings the building back.
After renovation, what once looked like a teardown becomes livable again. With strong foundation, new roofing, ventilation, and fresh finishes, the house gains second life and emotional value for families.
Real tip: In very old houses, always check foundation and roof first before any cosmetic work.
