More People Prefer to Fix Up Home

Careful Planning Can Provide Modernization at Sensible Cost, Improve Value By EDGAR V. HALL. Executive Director National Home Improvement Council. Inc. This year, at a time when rising construction costs and interest rates prevent many families from owning new homes, more Americans than ever before are considering remodeling their present homes. As a matter of fact, spending for fixing up the home is the first preference for American families these days. But at the same time, too many homeowners still hesitate to improve their houses. They have heard that prices for fixing up are high. Well, of course, it’s wise to be prudent when spending for home improvement just as it would be in making any other major purchase. Exercise ordinary caution and care when remodeling and you should be pleased with the results. If your remodeling project is a sizeable one in the terms of the money you are spending, then it will pay you to consult a lawyer about the contract you are signing. And if the remodeling includes extensive structural work, it might also be advisable to have an architect go over plans and specifications. You may not recover your entire investment. But you and your family will live better, healthier, happier lives in a fully up-to-date home.
