Top 3 Home Renovations For Your Buck

Home renovations can significantly increase the value of your property if done strategically. Here are some Top 3 Home Renovations that typically yield a high return on investment (ROI):

Kitchen Remodeling: The kitchen is often considered the heart of the home. Upgrading countertops, cabinets and fixtures can provide a significant ROI. Focus on update-to-date trends, improving functionality and using high-quality materials.
Bathroom Renovation: Like kitchens, updated bathrooms can greatly increase home value. Consider upgrading fixtures, countertops, flooring and adding amenities like a double sink and/or walk-in shower.
Basement Finishing: Converting an unfinished basement into usable living space can significantly increase your home's square footage and overall value. Consider creating additional bedrooms, bathrooms and a recreational area. A wet bar, home gym or movie theater tends to draw the attention of new buyers the most.

April Home Maintenance Checklist

Fill holes in lawn and plant grass seed
Get a bag or two of clean dirt and some lawn seed. You can use a shovel or rake but most of this can be done by hand. Fill any low spots or holes with dirt then sprinkle some seed over the top. Consider adding some dirt over the top to prevent the seed from blowing away and water slightly to dampen the area.
Tune up lawn mower
Typically cost around $100 when done by a professional. New plugs, air filter, oil change and sharpen the blade. Regular mower maintenance ensures a longer life.
Pest Control Prevention
April means that the bugs are back. Spraying plants and trees will prevent invasive insects. 
Change HVAC Filter
Changing your HVAC filter before using your air conditioning is important. Using a dirty filter can cause increased energy cost. Plus a clean filter better filters pollen, pet dander, small particles and dust that you breathe. 
Clean and Repair Gutters and Downspouts
Cleaning and repairing gutters and downspou ...
