Home Improvement Tips and Info

You're ready to renovate your kitchen, build your new bathroom or take your dinning room from plain to polished, but where do you start?

The first step is to get inspired. Browse through decor magazines and books for ideas. Find your style, consider details and trust your instincts. Beyond color and design, you should consider factors like budget, room size, structural elements (windows, doors, pillars), and lighting. It is also important to know your level of skill and limitations.

Ask your retailer for help and technical advice. Some stores have kitchen and bath specialists to help you take your dreams into reality. They can help you with layout designs, new products and material suggestions and show you exactly how much everything will cost.

Choose retailers who have designers and use 3-D drawings that can show you how your finished renovation will look. Their staff can guide you through the entire planning and installation process. They can recommend professional installers who are licensed and insured to handle your entire project. Some stores also have free in-store seminars to help you with instructions and ideas. Before you start, look in your local area and find out what is available to you.

It is widely accepted that making the right renovations and upgrades to your home improves your mood, well being and in most cases resale value of your property.

We think that is always good idea to be informed and find out how much of your investment you're likely to recover -- whether you hire a contractor to do your renovation or do it yourself. Just remember, how much of your investment you can recoup should be only one factor in your renovation plan, not a focal point of your plan. Find out more...
