Home is where the heart is
And the kitchen is the heart of the home. Family and friends gather and spend most of their time here. So, at the very least consider installing a new stove, replacing your refrigerator or putting in new cabinets to make it more functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Sales potential
The external appearance of your home is important for raising the value and sales potential. Fresh paint, clean shutters, a new roof and neat landscaping are simple ways you can enhance curb appeal if you’re looking to sell.
Preparing for retirement
If you’re planning on staying in your home throughout your senior years, it’s important to upgrade your home with age-in-place features, including replacing your bathtubs with easy step-in showers with bars and installing toilets for people with limited mobility or in wheelchairs.
Make your basement usable
Are you tired of using your basement as one big storage unit? Convert it into a living space, such as a media room, or even add a closet and a window for an extra bedroom, which will add square footage and increase the overall value of your home.
Avoid the stress of buying a new home
Searching for a new home can be both stressful and time-consuming. Instead of spending months looking for that perfect home, upgrading your bathrooms and kitchen or removing that wall that’s been bugging you just might be the solution.
