Your house is your castle, your safe area, the place you go to relax after a long stressful day at work. Think about the last time you even thought about doing some upkeep in your house. Now think about the last time you visited the doctor’s office or took your car in for an oil change. Most people visit the doctor’s office for a regular check up, the dentist for routine up keep, and the car shop to have an oil change for their car every couple months. People do this to maintain their health and valuables in good condition. Now however, one of the most important investments in life is taken for granted and keeps getting put off – Home improvement; kitchen or bath remodeling or even room additions. Some people even have a small leak they try to ignore, thinking it is not that big of deal. People don’t know that their foundation may not be up to code anymore because the age of the house. Although homeowners are concerned, about their health and dental issues, car maintenance or so forth, they don’t know their home might be making them sick through asbestos or lead in an outdated environment.

You may think; that as long as you don’t see a problem in your house, it isn’t there. It isn’t as common to have a checkup for the house, as you would have a checkup for your own health. Let me give you an example of how just a small leak can become a big issue and how even home routine check ups are important. One of my clients from the Los Angeles area had been living in his home for 40 years and he had finally decided to remodel his kitchen. The house being 80 years old; after the kitchen demolition, Dp Exclusive Design discovered a bigger problem. Dp Exclusive Design weren’t told that there was a leak that had gone ignored in the adjacent bathroom for about 2 years, and what was discovered was; the framing of the home was compromised, there was mildew caused by the leak and water damage that could have been avoided by simply having a contractor take a look at the leak. The 2 year leak turned into a problem that grew like cancer and in the end, much more had to be done than just the kitchen remodel. This is a story to show that if you don’t take care of it, a small problem can, and will get worst.

More often than not, remodeling is considered to be a luxury and not a necessity, however people don’t think of how remodeling a kitchen or bathroom can improve your life on a daily basis. Providing space saving solutions, energy efficient upgrades, and a relaxing environment can help you save time and provide relaxation. The convenience of a remodeled kitchen can not only inspire you to cook more often, bringing your family closer, but also help you save in the short term and increase value for the long run. With space saving and energy efficient upgrades, you can save on electricity and water bills, in the short run. The investment for the long run of remodeling is that remodeling your kitchen or adding a room to your home increases the value for when you are ready to sell or refinance the house to get more cash out. After all, a house isn’t just a building or a place to live; it is a long term investment. An investment is something that gives back to you in the long run, but think of the every day purchases that give you nothing back. Every time you buy something new; a car, shoes, a new outfit – you are just spending the money. While investing to upkeep your house, you are not only investing in a place to live, but also your family’s health and the quality time you spend in your home. The best you can do for the upkeep and protection of your investment is to provide preventative maintenance and increase value with projects like kitchen and bath remodeling.

It seems like these last few years, all you hear is bad news with; the recession, bankruptcies, earthquakes, disease, and of course this affects our lives, our thoughts and leaves our plans to remodel our kitchen or bathroom, maybe even add a room for “a better time.” We can all feel sorry for ourselves, we can blame everything else that is going wrong, but we have the control to make our own changes. We are responsible for our own thoughts and positive energy. We must try to think good and do well. What can be a better way to start, than by making the upgrades in your home; teaching your children to stay positive and provide a better environment for them to grow in? Thinking about the growth and health of your family, should be the inspiration to make you work harder. In every house, there is always something to fix or upgrade; the only problems are time and money, so stop giving yourself excuses and maintain your biggest investment – your house. Don’t tell yourself “I can’t afford it,” give yourself positive energy and think of what you need to do to get it done. After all, your house is your castle. So now think what you would like your next project to be and let’s get it done. Kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, or anything else, you deserve to improve your quality of life.

Since the economy has slowed down, people are afraid to spend their savings or income because banks are making it more difficult to get loans. People think that holding on to their money in case times get worst is the best way to go. However, most people don’t know the smart ways to invest in their own home, by remodeling. Remodeling is an investment that can help you in the long run. A few consumer facts for you to consider, and that you might not be aware of are:

Construction cost increase on a yearly basis about 10%, however in 2009 prices went down about 10-15%. The main reason behind this is due to material prices going down. Construction companies have been contacting their vendors for better pricing and have been able to pass it on to homeowners.

Remodeling now is significantly better than waiting for “the economy to get better,” consider these facts: mortgage rates are lower than most of us can remember and waiting for the economy to get better will also mean that interest rates will increase.

Real estate proves itself to be of value as a good hedge against inflation. Obviously real estate prices went down, but remember it is always good to “buy low and sell high.” In order to sell high, investing in remodeling is one of your few options in this economy. While remodeling using low prices, you will see this was an investment when you are able to sell your home at a higher price than you purchased.

Besides the low prices on materials, government funding has also made it easier to remodel and upgrade on energy efficient products for your home. The government is providing incentives so that you see an economic benefit in the short and long run, while also increasing the quality of you and your family’s lifestyle.

A few examples of remodeling projects that increase in value can be; Kitchen remodeling return on investment from 92 – 100%, bathroom remodeling increases in value of remodel on an average of 85%, window replacements on an average of 84.7%, and room additions to increase value 100% and more. For example, a room addition that costs $100,000, will regain in value around $200,000 at the time of selling your house. Take into consideration that in some geographic areas, the increase in value is significantly higher.
