Top 10 Home Improvements to Add Value to Your Home

Introduction

Owning a home is a significant investment, and finding ways to increase its value is a smart move for any homeowner. Whether you plan to sell your property in the future or simply want to enhance its overall worth, home improvements can provide a substantial return on investment. While various upgrades can boost your home's value, some stand out as particularly effective. In this article, we'll explore the ten best home improvements to add value to your home.

1) Kitchen Remodeling

The kitchen is often considered the heart of a home, making it one of the most critical areas to focus on when it comes to home improvements. A well-designed kitchen with modern appliances, updated cabinetry, and high-quality countertops can significantly increase the value of your property. Potential buyers are drawn to functional and aesthetically appealing kitchens, making it a wise investment.

2) Bathroom Upgrades

Next to the kitchen, bathrooms are essential spaces that can greatly impact a home's value. Renovating outdated bathrooms or adding an extra one can make a significant difference. Consider installing new fixtures, updating tiles, improving lighting, and enhancing storage options to create a relaxing and luxurious environment.

3) Energy-Efficient Windows and Doors

Energy efficiency is becoming increasingly important to homeowners. Replacing old windows and doors with energy-efficient models not only reduces utility costs but also adds value to your home. Modern windows and doors enhance insulation, increase comfort, and improve the overall curb appeal.

4) Outdoor Landscaping

First impressions matter, and the exterior of your home sets the tone for potential buyers. Investing in well-maintained landscaping, a manicured lawn, and a visually appealing garden can enhance curb appeal and increase the value of your property. Outdoor spaces such as decks, patios, and porches can also be attractive features for buyers.

5) Home Security Systems

Safety and security are top priorities for homeowners, making home security systems a valuable addition. Installing a robust security system with cameras, alarms, and smart locks not only provides peace of mind but also makes your property more attractive to potential buyers.

6) Basement Renovation

Transforming an underutilized basement into a functional living space can significantly add value to your home. Consider creating a family room, home office, or even an additional bedroom. A well-finished basement expands the usable square footage, increasing your home's overall worth.

7) Smart Home Technology

In today's tech-driven world, incorporating smart home technology is a surefire way to increase your home's appeal. Smart thermostats, lighting systems, and voice-controlled devices not only add convenience but also showcase your home as modern and up-to-date.

8 ) Energy-Efficient Appliances

As energy costs continue to rise, homebuyers are increasingly drawn to energy-efficient appliances. Upgrading to Energy Star-rated appliances in the kitchen and laundry room can boost your home's value while reducing utility bills.

9) Fresh Paint and Flooring

A simple but effective home improvement is giving your home a fresh coat of paint and updating worn-out flooring. Neutral, inviting colors appeal to a broader audience, and new flooring can transform the look and feel of a space, making it more attractive to potential buyers.

10) Add a Garage

If your property allows for it, adding a garage can significantly increase your home's value. Garages provide secure parking, additional storage space, and can be versatile for various uses. Having a garage can be a big selling point for potential buyers.

Conclusion

Investing in these ten home improvements can substantially enhance the value of your property. Whether you're looking to sell or simply want to enjoy a better living environment, these upgrades offer long-term benefits. Remember to carefully plan and budget for each project, ensuring that you get the most value out of your investment. By making smart and strategic choices, you can elevate your home's value and enjoy the rewards of a comfortable and enticing living space.

It's always great when a customer supports your services by submitting a nice testimonial. That's what really matters to us - a satisfied customer!

After purchasing an older home, we knew we had to hire a company that could take on this huge job. We looked for a contractor that could seek out the hidden issues, build custom bathrooms, kitchens flooring… and everything else that comes with renovating older homes.

From the very start, Victor and his crew showed the utmost professionalism. They communicated every step of the way. Their knowledge, expertise and attention to detail exceeded our expectations.

They discovered some structural issues (that we did not anticipate) Terra Home Renovations enlisted a professional engineering firm to correct what could have been disastrous. We would highly recommend Terra Home Renovations for any renovation project.

A CONVERSATION ABOUT PERCEIVED VALUE:
A customer asked a contractor friend of mine how much it would cost to do this project.

My friend gave him a proposal: $4500

The customer responded: That’s seems really high.

My friend asked: What do you think is a reasonable price for this job?

The customer answered: $2500 maximum

My friend responded: Ok, then I invite you to do it yourself.

The customer answered: I don't know how to.

My friend responded: Alright, then how about for $2500 I'll teach you how to. So besides saving you $2000, you'll learn valuable skills that will benefit you in the future.

The customer answered: Sounds good! Let’s do it!

My friend responded: Great! To get started, you are going to need some tools. You will need a chop saw, table saw, cordless drill, bit set, router, skill saw, jig saw, tool belt, hammer, etc..

The customer answered: But I don't have any of those tools and I can't justify buying all of these for one job.

My friend responded: Ok. Well then for an additional $300 I can rent my tools to you to use for this project.

The customer answered: Okay. That’s fair.

My friend responded: Great! We will start the project on Monday.
The customer answered: I work Monday through Friday. I’m only available on the weekends.

My friend responded: If you want to learn from me then you will need to work when I work. This project will take 3 days so you will need to take 3 days off work.

The customer answered: That means I’m going to have to sacrifice my pay for 3 days or use my vacation time!

My friend responded: That’s true. Remember, when you do a job yourself you need to account for unproductive factors.
The customer answered: What do you mean by that?

My friend responded: Doing a job completely from start to finish includes time spent to plan the project, pick up materials, travel time, gas, set up time, clean up, and waste disposal amongst other things. That’s all in addition to the actual project itself. And speaking of materials, that’s where we will start on Monday so I need you to meet me at the lumberyard at 6:00am.

The customer answered: At 6am?!! My work day doesn’t usually start until 8am!

My friend responded: Well then you’re in luck! My plan is to start on the deck build by 8am. But to do so we have to start at 6am to get materials picked up, loaded and delivered to your job site.
The customer answered: You know, I’m realizing that a lot more goes in to a job than what a customer sees in the finished project. Your proposal of $4500 is very reasonable. I would like you to handle the project.

CONCLUSION:
When you pay for a job, especially a custom job, (whether it’s a physical project or digital project) you pay not only for the material and the work to be completed. You also pay for:
✔️ Knowledge
✔️ Experience
✔️ Custom Skills
✔️ Tools
✔️ Time to plan
✔️ Time to prepare
✔️ Professionalism
✔️ Work Ethic
✔️ Excellence
✔️ Discipline
✔️ Commitment
✔️ Integrity
✔️ Taxes
✔️ Licenses
✔️ Sacrifices
✔️ Liabilities
✔️ Insurance
✔️ Permits
If you request a proposal for custom work to be done, please don’t disrespect a service provider by trying to get them to lower their prices.

If their proposal exceeds your budget, there’s nothing wrong with getting other proposals.

Just remember.. you get what you pay for.
👉🏼 SERVICE PROVIDERS: Know your worth and be confident in it.
👉🏼 CONSUMERS: Recognize their worth and be respectful of it.

Summertime Clean-up With Design In Mind

After months of snow and dreary rain, warm weather is an opportunity for new beginnings, new growth and deep cleaning. It seems every year that our houses are back to square one when it comes to summer cleaning, leaving us with the task of taking a year’s worth of accumulated stuff and deciding what stays and what goes. Take our word for it: there’s no better feeling than stepping into the warmer seasons with a fresh, decluttered house.

So in an effort to decrease the burden we face every year around this time, we have some ideas and recommendations on how to keep your space feeling fresh all year round, as well as some design additions you can make to ensure your house is as good as new come next summer.

Smart storage

No one wants to hear this, but the trick to keeping your wardrobe from taking over your closet is by building a strategic system of organization that works throughout the year. Luckily, there are some accessible tips and tricks to maximize your storage capabilities and create a space that’s easier to keep organized, which means easier and faster access to find exactly what you’re looking for.

Before you shell out for a pricey closet organization system, consider the things you already have that could be creatively leveraged for storage. Things like baskets, book cases, and cubbies make for perfect storage tools for things like purses, shoes, handbags and other miscellaneous items that need a home.

If you are in search of some new storage units, look for compact, multi-use options that can address more than one area of organization. To best utilize limited wall space, stack mounted shelving or wall hooks over your shoe rack to take advantage of your vertical space.

And if height allows, take advantage of a double-hanging system for tops and bottoms — all you might need in addition is a small step stool to access the top row, and you’ve managed to double your storage while keeping your floor space more clear for navigation.

Smart installation

Anyone who lives in a colder region knows: winter is not gentle on our homes by any means. Come spring and summer, we’re left with endless lists of tasks to clean up both inside and outside the house, and with street salt and dirt quickly melted off with the spring thaw, the impact on your flooring can be damaging.
