Home remodeling & renovation - what does it take?
Will it pay back?
Two of the most common and easiest mistakes to make, especially if this is your first home, is to underestimate the costs involved in remodeling or renovation work and to overestimate the return that you’re likely to get when you sell. You should always get detailed estimates from 3 licensed contractors before proceeding with any major remodeling or renovation job. And you should have some idea what the potential impact on the resale value of the home might be for any project.
. If you are doing the project primarily for your own use and benefit, just remember that when it come time to sell. For a quick estimate of the payback from some of the more common home improvement projects click here.
