Your home is likely your biggest asset, so it is a great idea to keep it in tip-top shape. Whether you are staying or planning a move, according to HGTV these are the top 15 projects[1] that pay off over the long haul.
Any of the following can be done for less than $10,000 and will be appreciated for years to come! Consider…
Bathroom update: fresh paint, replace shower doors, new knobs, happy towels.
Landscaping: sod, a splash of seasonal flowers, hardscape, enhanced entry to your home
Kitchen refresh: paint walls and/cabinet, new knobs and pulls, change counter top
Curb appeal: paint/replace the front door, repair stairs, bricks, concrete, add container plants
Window replacement: update look, weather resistance and new triple pane glass
For major remodeling projects, in the $10,000 to $40,000 range, consider…
