In the do-it-yourself age we live in, many Westchester homeowner DIYers are ready and willing to take on home-improvement projects themselves. But while you may be ready and willing, the real question is, are you really “able?”
Focus on projects that will pay you back.
- Know where to start. If you have never taken on a major project, start with spaces such as the living room, spare bedroom, or the garage — rooms that won’t limit your ability to function.
- Closet reorganization. Many times, people have maxed out their closet and have no more room to add, let alone organize. That’s when it’s time to evaluate. Donate clothes you no longer wear to a charity, store seasonal attire in a separate location, and separate his from hers.
- Break down a big project. Planning is essential. Know your capabilities and limitations.
- Know where the biggest ROI is. The improvements that will most add to the value of your home include, the kitchen, the master bedroom and bathroom. These can boost your resale value and attract buyers who want a space that’s move-in ready.
These are just some of many great suggestions for tackling home improvement projects. Feel free to contact Pat for more ideas and please share this advice with your fellow DIY-ers!
