Tidbits

  • Don't overlook the importance of "curb appeal" when making improvements. Landscaping is one of the key selling points.
  • A good landscape becomes an extension of your home.
  • Dress up your landscape with decorative concrete, asphalt texturizing, and lighting.
  • If your current home lacks the space a new home offers, adding a new family room, larger master bedroom suite, or an eat-in kitchen are spaces that are highly valued and will give you a high rate of return on your investment.
  • Repairing small items will save you time and expense by preventing small problems from becoming emergencies or major replacement.
  • Entrance, kitchen, and bath remodels have the ultimate WOW factor and are the most important design statements in the house.
  • Maintaining your home protects your investment. Improving you home enhances your investment.
  • Adding new faucets and vanity lighting to your current fixtures will update your bath with minimal investment while adding value and visual pleasure.
  • Quality workmanship and materials is a major factor in making a good investment. Lesser quality could wipe out any value the remodeling might have added.
  • The foyer is the first introduction to your home. It speaks volumes about your sense of style and your pride in your home.
  • Accent lighting adds an extra dimension to a room area that could otherwise be lost in darkness, and proper accent lighting tends to make a room look much larger than it actually is.
  • Fences not only create privacy and containment, but also can add architectural and aesthetic enhancement to your yard.
