Things to Consider Before Doing a Remodel
Because contractors continue to have difficulty finding work in many parts of the country, many home owners are enjoying home-remodeling bargains.
Before signing a contract, here are some things Tara-Nicholle Nelson, author of “The Savvy Woman’s Homebuying Handbook” urges people to consider:

· Sellers concerned about guaranteeing a remodeling return on investment should focus on preserving the value and the likelihood of resale instead of on aesthetics.
· Don’t overbuild. McMansions have fallen out of fashion.
