If you are interested in finding home improvement ideas, all you need to do is take a walk through any building products store or start watching one of the many television shows dedicated to this theme. It’s easy to dedicate all of your free time to working on your home, but before you start, you’ll want to focus on home improvement ideas that add value to your home.
Home Improvement Ideas that Add Value to your Home
- Remodelling the Kitchen
Since the kitchen is the heart of the home and a popular place for entertaining, spending some money updating it makes good sense. Be careful in your choices, though, and make sure that you don’t over-update the kitchen so that the style or quality doesn’t fit with the rest of your home or the neighbourhood.
You can get a lot of value from giving your kitchen a fresh coat of paint and updating the colour. If the appliances are older, consider replacing them with energy-efficient ones to save money now and make your home more attractive to potential buyers later on.
- Updating to Energy-efficient Windows
Buyers do consider energy efficiency when shopping for a home and older, single-pane windows can turn a lot of them off making an offer on your house. George Kent’s exclusive line of windows, Enerview, are Energy Star-rated, which means you’ll be getting an energy-efficient product that will cut your energy bills, while adding style and value to your home.
- Add Energy-efficient Insulation
If you notice cold spots in your home, it’s time to add energy-efficient insulation. George Kent specializes in several types of insulation, including blown, spray foam and rigid exterior wall varieties. We can provide you with energy-efficient insulation to your attic, basement and exterior walls. If you are considering having your roof replaced or vinyl siding installed on your home, the insulation can be installed at the same time.
If you want to renovate your home, it’s important to keep an eye on its value, too. To find out more about our energy-efficient insulation and windows, contact us today for a free estimate.
