Now's the Time to Fix Up Your Home
Everyday some more bad economic news pounds us. All of us who own homes are wondering how much our value will fall before we can get some semblence of sanity back. You have probably been thinking about doing a remodeling project at your house for some time now. Maybe its updating your kitchen or renovating a bathroom. Maybe your dream is to add on a sunroom or screen porch. Or maybe just fixing some rotting wood or painting a room or two. But the news has made you put it off. Is the doom and gloom making you think that putting money in your home is a waste and that you won’t get any “return”? Sometimes that’s true but most often it is not.
I think we as homeowners got caught up a little in the giddiness that came with the drastic increases we saw in our home value as the “bubble” was expanding. Now, after the burst, maybe you are like a lot of folks. You have been in your home for a long time. Have raised your kids in it. Still get that comfort feeling everytime you step in the door. That home sweet home feeling. That there is no place like home feeling. And maybe those plans you had for downsizing have been put on hold while you “wait for things to turn”. Guess what-you are not alone.
Remodeling is happening. Folks are working on their houses. They are fixing up, adding on and making things pretty. The projects are not the grand expansive ones that took place throughout most of the last decade, but they are going on. We are updating kitchens with floors and tops and backsplashes and lighting-but leaving the cabinets. And they are coming out gorgeous. We are doing a bunch of bathroom makeovers within the existing space of the room. There are so many great things you can do with just a little creativity and it results in a bath to be proud of.
Folks are taking advantage of the outside of their homes by adding on patios, screen porches and sunrooms. We are building the decks so that a screen porch can be added later and screen porches that canbe converted to sunrooms in the future. It take just a little extra effort to do this and its money well spent.
We are replacing windows, adding Gutter Shutter gutters, replacing rotten railings, upgrading entrance doors and many many other projects for folks. These maintenance items have to be done or you will be losing money on your home despite what the “market” is doing.
So if you have been wanting to get going on your project, jump in and join all the other folks who are doing just that. After all-its your home, not just an investment. Call us for any project. We do them all and have been for over twenty five years.
