Projects

• Adding value to your home is easy with the right
  kind of construction projects, but its not
  always easy to know how much you should spend to
  get a good return on your investment, and what
  types of projects to choose.
• To help you choose a sound value-adding
  construction project for your home, here is a
  simple guide to 10 of the best
• 1.Replace the windows
• Single pane windows that have fallen into
  disrepair will let any property down, and
  replacing them with low maintenance, double pane
  vinyl or aluminum clad windows is always going to
  be a good investment. Not only will they look
  better, but theyll help save energy, reduce
  outside noise and reduce heating and cooling
  bills.

• Convert the basement
• A basement converted into a livable space
  typically gives a fantastic return on your
  investment, and can be a great selling point for
  any property.
• Add a deck
• Entertaining friends and family outside is more
  popular now than ever before, and more buyers are
  searching for homes with outside space. The
  simple addition of a deck to your home, could
  prove a huge selling point.

• Remodel the kitchen
• New cabinets, countertops, flooring and
  appliances can transform a tired, dull kitchen
  into a bright new space for cooking, eating and
  entertaining. While this can be one of the more
  costly home construction projects to undertake,
  its often one of the most effective in terms of
  adding value.
• Remodel the bathroom
• As with remodeling kitchens, transforming a
  bathroom into a stylish, modern and functional
  space is another great way to add value to a
  property, and if you have the work done
  professionally by a reputable construction
  company, you can give buyers a real incentive to
  choose your property over another in the
  neighborhood.

• Convert the attic space
• It doesnt have to cost the Earth to convert an
  attic space into a bedroom, or even an office,
  and as space is at a premium in many homes
  nowadays, turning your attic into a livable space
  could prove a very worthwhile investment.
  However, whether this type of project is right
  for your home depends on several factors
• Whether the ceiling is high enough
• Whether the floor is strong enough to support the
  extra load
• If there is a staircase or other entry point
  already in place

• Build a two-story addition
• This can be a less expensive option for a
  two-story house than having a single-story built,
  per square foot, as there is only one roof
  structure required.
• A small kitchen remodel project
• Sometimes, even just giving your kitchen a lick
  of paint or replacing the knobs and hinges with
  more modern, stylish ones can make the world of
  difference to a kitchen, and is an affordable way
  to tempt buyers and add value to your home.

• A small bathroom remodel project
• In much the same way as a lick of paint and a few
  minor upgrades can transform a kitchen, the same
  can be said for a bathroom, and its up to you
  how much, or how little money you spend on the
  project.
• 1.Replacing siding
• Consider covering your wood siding and trim with
  high-quality, foam-backed vinyl or fiber cement
  siding to make a better impression for buyers and
  add value to your home.

• Remember that whatever construction project you
  choose for your home, only by working with a
  professional construction company will you stand
  a better chance of adding the most value when it
  comes to selling it.
