You’ve probably heard that you can boost the value of your home by renovating or updating around the house. But which do-it-yourself projects will give you the most bang for your buck this spring? According to experts, some of the best fixes are the simplest ones:
Paint – A fresh coat of paint can renew a tired interior and make it seem more spacious and clean.
Flooring – Hardwood is currently coveted by most home buyers, but laminate can work well too if you’re on a budget.
Light fixtures - Illuminate your home with modern, new light fixtures that add drama or personality to any room.
Landscape – Make sure your front lawn, driveway and walkways are clear and neat. Consider adding greenery to freshen up the look.
Knobs and handles – New hardware on cupboards can give a room a new sparkle.
One and a half baths – It’s now the norm to have at least a two-piece powder room on the main floor. Experts say this is one investment for which you’re virtually guaranteed to get your money back.
With spring on our doorstep, it’s a great time to get out your paintbrushes and toolboxes to not only renew the look of your home, but increase its value too.
