The art of turning one problem into twelve, then billing you for the discovery.

means The process of repairing, updating, or remodeling a structure to restore or improve its condition.

from From Latin renovare — re- ('again') plus novare ('to make new', from novus, 'new'). It entered English in the 1500s meaning 'to renew or restore,' and has always carried that sense of returning something to a fresher, better state — whether a soul, a building, or, eventually, a kitchen.
