Remodels may be Better than a Savings Account

It is recommended that you stick to improvements likely to increase your home's resale appeal and value. There is no such thing as a guaranteed return on investment, but some home improvements have a better track record than others. For instance, a basement remodel will recoup 70 % of its cost at resale. Adding a bathroom returns more than 50 %  of your investment, while modernizing a kitchen can bring about 70 % of a return upon selling your home. Tips:

• Establish a budget
• Hire a qualified remodeler who is familiar with local building codes
• Compare products and prices prior to beginning
• Work with a contract
