It’s National Home Remodeling Month
May is National Home Remodeling Month! Home owners planning to stay in their home should know about remodeling projects that increase the home’s usefulness and make it better to live in. A recent National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) survey of remodelers found five most common remodeling jobs. Of those five, the top two are kitchen and bath. A minor kitchen remodel can improve the look and utility of the space without costing a bundle, and yields a 75 percent return. While a payback on remodeling a bathroom can reach 65 percent with new fixtures, tile, toilet, vanity and lighting. To ensure top rankings continue for the kitchen and bath remodeling industry, keep the following trends in mind when specifying a job:
