Product Description
For numerous homeowners, selling their property right now just isn’t an option, as a result of sluggish home sales and dropping prices. As seen at the end of the 1980s and mid-1990s, homeowners who stay put will devote their energies to making small and large improvements on their houses to increase home values and make them more enjoyable.
In Remodeling On the Money, trusted home improvement expert and columnist Alan J. Heavens details 15 of the most cost-effective home renovation projects that actually add value to a property, based on the current and projected remodeling market. Each chapter is devoted to a particular renovation that homeowners (and buyers) increasingly desire and includes a written explanation of the project to be featured, the personal experiences of three homeowners, and a breakdown of the component parts, including necessary materials, extra options, and step-by-step instructions. Plus, each project is fully illustrated with black & white and full color photographs.
