        "text": "While often used interchangeably, a renovation typically refreshes an existing space without changing its layout, such as painting or updating fixtures. A remodel, however, involves changing the structure or layout, like moving walls or reconfiguring a kitchen. This distinction is an important decision factor as it impacts the project's complexity, cost, and the types of permits required, with remodels usually being more extensive.",
