        "text": "While often used interchangeably, a home renovation typically refers to restoring something to a good state of repair, often updating existing elements without significantly changing the layout or structure. This might include repainting, replacing fixtures, or updating surfaces. A home remodel, however, involves changing the structure, layout, or function of a space, such as moving walls, reconfiguring a kitchen, or adding square footage. Remodels are generally more complex and often require more extensive permitting.",
