10 REASONS TO REMODEL YOUR HOME NOW

Perhaps it was that moment you realized that hunter green and harvest gold are no longer the “in” colors for today’s trendy kitchens that you thought about remodeling. Replacing cabinets, fixtures, repainting and installing new countertops all help to update your home for a contemporary look.

Adding a deck, expanding your kitchen, remodeling to open the floor plan, and many other projects can increase the value of your home. Smart remodels enhance your greatest investment—your home. Some of the best value-adding remodels are the least invasive, such as replacing siding or adding a small bath.

Replace siding to fix drafts or repair the roof to stop leaks. Savvy home maintenance ranges from replacing the HVAC system to improve heating and cooling to fixing plumbing. Consistent home maintenance raises the value of your home, but even more importantly it keeps your home functional and comfortable.

Expand the capacity of your home by adding a deck, patio or other outdoor living space. You’ll have more room to entertain friends and be able to enjoy outdoor relaxation while in the comfort of your home.

Home improvement projects help maintain and increase the value of your home. But considering the external appearance of your home is also important in improving the value and sales potential. New siding, fresh paint, clean gutters, neat landscaping and an intact roof enhance the curb appeal of your home.

It’s important to understand what remodeling and building green really means. A home can be considered green when energy efficiency, water and resource conservation, the use of sustainable or recycled products, and indoor air quality considerations are incorporated into the process of home remodeling. Professional remodelers increasingly incorporate energy-efficiency and long-life products into their business.

Installing a new stove, replacing countertops or replacing your refrigerator can improve the function of your kitchen. Widely considered the heart of the home and where most people gather and spend time together, creating the right feel for your kitchen is essential. Remodelers also can help improve work flow in your kitchen with more open spaces and strategic placement of appliances.

Bringing in a remodeler experienced with universal design can greatly improve your home for accessibility. If your aging-in-place, recently acquired a disability, or just want a home easier to maneuver in, a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS) can assess your home and remodel according to your specific needs. A CAPS remodeler can also help make your home visitable, so that an aging relative or friend with a disability can visit your home on the first floor.
