        "text": "While often used interchangeably, 'renovation' typically refers to restoring something old to a good state of repair, often involving cosmetic updates and repairs without changing the structure. An example would be updating finishes in a kitchen while keeping the existing layout. 'Remodel' implies changing the structure or form, such as altering the layout of a room, moving walls, or adding square footage. A remodel usually involves more extensive work and can significantly change the function or appearance of a space, often requiring more permits.",
