renovation

This word is most commonly used when talking about houses, apartments, or old buildings. It focuses on making something look better or work more efficiently. It can be used as both a countable noun (e.g., 'a major renovation') and an uncountable noun (e.g., 'the house needs some renovation'). While similar to 'remodeling,' renovation usually implies bringing something back to a good condition, whereas remodeling often means changing the actual structure or layout.
