Top 10 Home Improvement Tips Every Homeowner Should Know
By Melanie Pinola 11/8/14
It doesn’t matter if you’ve bought a newly built home, a condo in a maintained community, or a fixer-upperowning
your own place brings out the home improvement itch in us all (or at
least requires us to do necessary repairs and maintenance tasks). Here
are ten pieces of advice to help turn your dwelling place into a better
home.10. Choose the Improvements That Add the Most Value to Your Home
If you were offered $100,000, no strings attached, what home
improvements would you do? Chances are, a long laundry list of changes
come to mind, from refinishing the hardwood floors to adding a new

Tackle the Quick Projects That Are Most Timely
Whether winter is coming or you’re considering projects in another season, some home improvements are more urgent than otherssaving you money immediately or preventing devastating damage. Sometimes it only takes ten minutes or less to make simple changes around the house that boost your living space.
8. Decide to DIY or Not
Even if you’re a weekend warrior with a well-stocked workshop, not all
home improvement projects are suitable to do yourself (or at least,
without the help of a professional). Know your limits, start small if you’re a beginner, and then keep calm and DIY on (if you so wish).7. Hone Your Home Improvement Skills

decent home repair or home improvement skills. (All around the home,
there are things we should never have to pay others to fix for us.) Learn Bob Villa-worthy skills and help others at the same time by volunteering or through free clinics and other resources. Turn to great reading resources and try starter projects too. If you get stuck on a project, iOS app Fountain will connect you to a home improvement expert to answer your question for $5.
