renovation
Explanation:
That is the most used term in the U.S. nowadays. In a less formal context, the term rehab is also used. The two most common terms are renovation and rehab. Refurbishing is also used, but is less common. And the least commonly used is remodeling [usually used in contractors advertisement, but not in an architectural setting.]
