Tips to increase the value of your home

Are you considering remodeling your home? Remodels can be anywhere from very minimal and affordable to dramatic and expensive. Able & Ready Construction offers Prescott homeowners some insights on how to increase the value of your home.

Plan first
Not planning is the most costly mistake homeowners make. Think about every room and list the things you want to change and the updates you would like to make. Use the list to estimate how much what you want may cost. Separate your list into 'need', 'must have' and 'want'. You may want to talk to a realtor for a ballpark estimate of what sort of return your final list of improvements may bring.

Not everything is expensive
Swapping out old doors, especially the entrance doors, replacing old faucets, and upgrading lighting fixtures make an immediate difference in a home's first impression and add instant value.

The #1 upgrade with the greatest return on investment is said to be the kitchen. Consider the following upgrades:

• Change the paint. Ask your local paint experts what's trending in color.
• Make old cabinets look new again with faux finishes, paint or re-facing.
• Add instant impact with a new backsplash. Glass and metal tiles are great options.
• Replace your appliances. Find matching sets to give a professionally-designed look to your kitchen.
• Upgrade your countertops with the latest products on the market to really make a statement.

Don't forget to beautify your bathroom.

• Focus on the fixtures. Bathrooms are not utilitarian any longer. Adults like beautifully appointed rooms that feel relaxed and comfortable.
• Upgrade the lighting, add paint, replace countertops, and decorate the bathroom to give it warmth.
• Replace old vanity mirrors with fully framed, gorgeous mirrors that add elegance.
• Bigger projects include enlarging the shower area, adding multiple spray heads and lighting.
• Replace the floor with modern tiles that create interest and drama.
