Home Improvement Home Renovation

Buying a fixer-upper might be a dream for you at this point in your life, but it is always to have your feet firmly based in reality. Nothing is as easy as they make it out to be on television or on the internet. Homes are a complex endeavor that often like to hide issues and add money to the project at just a moment's notice. Did you tear out a shower and discover black mold? Or maybe you find that the hardwood floors beneath the carpet are more damaged than you first thought. These costs can all add up and wreak havoc on anyone’s budget. Here are a few things you might want to think about before making a leap to buying a fixer-upper. 

At some point in the time that you are in your home you will most likely choose to either upgrade a room or perhaps remodel a bathroom or kitchen. It is important to make sure whomever you choose to be in charge of these renovations is doing all the proper things. 

With Summer here and giving us loads of sunny and warm weather now is the time to really get your outdoor upgrading game on. No need to go all out but there are simple things that you can do that will give your front curb appeal a much needed boost. Even now you can get most of your supplies through a curbside pick-up or delivery that will limit your exposure at a home improvement store if you are still concerned about that. With our extreme weather situations please be aware of how much sun exposure you are getting and be safe when working in the extreme heat conditions. Take frequent breaks and be aware of the signs of heat exhaustion.
