Home Facelift Done on a Budget

by brian yalung on Saturday, November 15th, 2008

Contrary to what people believe in getting better value for your money on expensive remodeling of a home, you can really do it on a budget with the right approach and resources.

A lot of it has to do on how you outsource raw materials, contractors and designers. Many people today want an all-in-one deal since they don’t have the luxury of time to spare when it comes to home improvement. However, you may be surprised at the savings on cost if you exert a little effort. Some even just around 10 minutes on the phone to do and you may save yourself a couple of hundred on the side.

For the people who want to remodel on a budget, here are some good tips you may want to consider when it comes to remodeling and what you want to prioritize:

  • Replace kitchen countertops.
  • Upgrade bathrooms to make them safe and easier for people of all ages and abilities to use.
  • Paint a room for an instant uplift, and perhaps add crown moldings, chair rails and other trims.
  • Extend your living space to the outdoors by updating your landscaping, adding a path to an outlying seating area or building a small deck or patio.
  • Enhance curb appeal by replacing the front door with one designed to withstand the elements. A few planters and perhaps a bench are additional welcoming touches.
  • Improve energy efficiency by sealing heating and cooling ducts along seams with duct mastic or metal-backed tape and insulating ducts in unconditioned spaces.
  • Get rid of clutter and install organization systems to reduce stress and create more usable space in your home.
