Home remodeling projects and additions are a great way to increase space and boost value. However, they require time, consideration, and experience, which is why it’s important to approach each job carefully. Some additions simply aren’t worthwhile if you’re looking to increase your home’s value, while others contain too many complicated components to be handled by yourself. By taking the proper approach, you can be certain that you not only get the most from your home remodeling project, but that it also provides lasting financial benefits.

Do:

Upgrade kitchens, bathrooms, & bedrooms.

For most buyers, the most important rooms in a home are kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms. From a remodeling standpoint, they’re the best place to begin, as they’re the cheapest to make over and will yield the largest return. Start small by focusing on fixtures and finishes. Cabinets and storage space in both bathrooms and kitchens are also desirable. Extra bedrooms highly impact home value, but make sure they’re comfortable and have windows so that they don’t feel cut off from the home.

Hire professionals.

Even minor jobs like painting have their challenges, which is why it’s always best to turn to home remodeling professionals for assistance. They bring the tools and experience needed to get the job done correctly and are the most cost-effective option when it comes to completing the project effectively in a timely manner. This is especially important for electrical and plumbing work, as there are many hazards you may encounter.

Don’t:

Overdo decor.

If you’re remodeling to sell, it’s best to stay as neutral as possible. Major gourmet updates in kitchens, off-kilter paint jobs, and creative flair can be off-putting to buyers who want to establish their own personality in the home. Instead, stay reserved and stick to popular themes like rustic or minimalist contemporary design. These won’t be overwhelming and will also be more cost-effective.

Forget to plan.

Home remodeling requires extensive planning. You need to prepare spaces, have all your materials, and also check to see if any building permits are needed. If you’re working with a professional, spend time going through everything before you begin. This will ensure the best results and that you don’t encounter unwanted complications.
