The Remodeling Corner


Janet B. Cook When preparing to sell their home, people


fi nally get all needed improvement projects done and then lament, “I don’t want to move now that the place looks so nice!” Don’t have that regret! Resolve to make a plan to get your home improvement goals done to make it the best place to live for you, not the next owner! A home’s design and condition impacts


our lives day in and day out. When it is well maintained, one can avoid the expense when a neglected problem grows and even multiplies. Make a list of any needed upkeep or repairs, and consider the benefi ts of hiring a professional who delivers on-time quality to get it taken care of. If the layout and design


of your home facilitates how you want to live, it can lower stress and help achieve personal goals. However, most people do not live in a custom home built to their specifi cations, and can benefi t from a remodeling


professional


helping them customize their home. Make a resolution to take advantage of their experience to help make your daily life more enjoyable. It


at a time? Consider how long you plan on living in


your home and how long ago it has been since your kitchen and bathrooms were done. If your length of stay is less than fi ve years, or uncertain, you may want to focus the improvement’s impact on resale value. If you plan on living there longer, design your renovations to meet your needs. If you believe you may be selling sooner than later, learn what is standard in the neighborhood and choose 2-3 features that can make your home distinctive and set it apart. Some highly desirable amenities are: dual master bedrooms or a mother-in-law suite, a spacious walk-in closet, an


outdoor living space, as well as energy


effi cient windows, appliances, and fi xtures (e.g. toilet). Realtors report that a well-


designed updated kitchen and a spa-like master bath with a walk in shower are always hot items that elevate a home’s value


and quickly lead to a sale. Considering


that the is wise to have a plan to


continually update your home to preserve and enhance value in the marketplace, so you can reap the benefi ts of a “new” beautifi ed home. Not only can it be easier to deal with the construction disruption by phasing the projects over time, you don’t have to make the investment all at once. What are some factors to consider in prioritizing your plan, so you can take it a step


those the


day gets started in the bath, and is fueled in kitchen,


present and future benefi ts!
