Four Things Men Want for Their Home Remodel

Its June and we celebrate Fathers! We want them to feel at home, to be able to kick back, relax and have fun!  What are men wanting for their home remodels to give them their spaces?  Of course it depends on personality, lifestyle, and family needs—but here are four desired features and priorities that many men tend to value:

  1. Functional Spaces for Hobbies or Work
  • Garage upgrades or workshops – Organized, well-lit spaces with storage and tool access.
  • Home office –a private, tech-friendly workspace is often essential.
  • Home gym – A dedicated fitness area with rubber flooring, mirrors, and equipment.
  1. Entertainment-Focused Areas with dark tones.
  • Media room or man cave – A space for watching sports, movies, or gaming with surround sound, comfy seating, and a big screen.
  • Game room – Pool tables, poker setups, or even retro arcade machines.
  1. High-Performance Kitchens (if they cook)
  • Some men, especially those into grilling or cooking, want:
    • High-end appliances (e.g., smart ovens, gas ranges)
    • Outdoor kitchens or BBQ areas
    • Plenty of prep space and storage
  1. Smart Home Tech
  • Integration of smart lighting, thermostats, security systems, and audio systems.
  • Voice controls and app-based home automation are often a big plus.

Like women, men want low-maintenance, durable materials with stone or matte finishes. They also value a bathroom with rainfall showers, heated floors, and high end fixtures. They desire a closet organizational system that clearly defines their space. They appreciate custom cabinetry.

Happy Home Remodeling!

Clients Reviews

We needed to correct structural issues to our basement to reduce the amount of noise downstairs. The problem of uneven flooring was worse than anticipated, but Cook Remodeling identified each and every issue, discussed it with us and found solutions. They started exactly on time and finished ahead of expectations. We did a total kitchen remodel, redid the fireplace and media wall in our family room. Every Cook Remodeling employee was professional, talented, trustworthy, courteous, and respectful–they are in a class all their own. We gave them complete access to our home. They treated it as if it were their own home. We have never felt 100% comfortable with a contractor’s employees and their workmanship before this, all of them at Cook Remodeling were incredible. Cook Remodeling did an amazing, outstanding job. We highly recommend Cook Remodeling and Custom Construction.
