[C/U] Both

pl: renovations

This term suggests a transformative process that blends preservation with modernization. It carries a positive connotation of adding value or breathing new life into a tired space, often implying a professional or planned project rather than a quick fix. While remodeling focuses on changing the layout or purpose of a room, renovation specifically targets the restoration of quality and the removal of decay. It evokes the image of peeling back layers of old paint or replacing rotted beams to reveal a sturdy, refreshed foundation.

Uncountable when referring to the general concept of improving a property (The house needs renovation). Countable when referring to a specific project or a series of separate updates (The building underwent three major renovations).
