These days there are lots of television programs featuring home improvements and remodeling. These shows are exciting and impressive, and they are often show do-it-yourself improvements that seem unlikely for the homeowner with an average skill set. Most of us need to hire our home improvements from qualified professionals, so it is important to make wise choices. Which of these are useful for actually adding value to your home, and which just use up your time and money without really enhancing your investment?
There are three broad categories of home-improvement:
1. There are improvements hose that cost a lot but add little or no value. Beware of these. The teen pop star themed playroom might delight your kids, but it will subtract from your home’s value for a potential buyer who is looking for a man cave.
2. Some are expensive, but they might be worth it because they add commensurate value to your home. A friend of mine recently added a wing to his home that increased the square footage by 50%. That was a costly improvement, but adding to the square footage definitely increased the value of the home.
3. Some home improvements are relatively inexpensive but provide enjoyment for you now and value later when you seek to sell or finance your home. From the perspective of the investor, these are the best kind of home improvements. They might add to the actual value of the home, or they might make it easier to sell because of the intangibly enhanced appeal of the home.
One home improvement that fits this third category is window tinting. It will make you more comfortable immediately. It will add privacy and curb appeal to your home. It will lower energy consumption costs and protect your family from harmful ultraviolet rays. Window tinting will give a potential buyer that hard to name feeling that this is the right place to buy.
