In 2004, sales on home improvement products alone reached $271 billion dollars in the U.S. That doesn’t include services such as landscaping, carpentry or installation. Americans love to work on our homes, and the winner who selects this Grand Prize will receive $10,000 to do just that.
Do you dream of creating an oasis in your back yard, adding on a bedroom for your new baby, or creating a gourmet kitchen to work your culinary magic in? Are you sick and tired of that orange shag carpet that came with your house when you bought it? Are your kids begging you to install a basketball court in the backyard? Stop dreaming and start building! Whether you do it yourself, or hire someone to do the whole job, you’ll have the resources you need to create whatever you can imagine. If you can’t come up with ideas on your own, Home and Garden television shows, magazines and websites have plenty of ideas for you will fall in love with!
Home improvements not only make your property a better place to live now, but they contribute to the overall value, which means that this can pay off when you choose to sell your home. A good idea is to view other properties in your area to compare what amenities you can add to your home to make it competitive when you list it for sale. Consider stopping in to open houses in your neighborhood held by realtors. You’ll be able to look at your “competition” from top to bottom and find out what you can do to put yourself ahead in your market.
The top home improvements include: Siding replacement, wood window replacement, minor kitchen remodel, bathroom remodel, vinyl window replacement, two story addition and major kitchen remodel. Each of these cost thousands of dollars each to execute! A major project on your home may be something you desperately need or want—but without the cash, you risk taking on unwanted debt or using your hard-earned savings.
In addition to these types of improvements, the winner who selects this Grand Prize can purchase items such as furniture, home theater equipment, or appliances. Buy a deluxe gas grill for outdoor entertaining, or a flat screen plasma TV for football parties. There are endless possibilities! Many families buy their homes but have to put off decorating because finances are tight. Perhaps you’d love to give your children the room of their dreams? Or are you still using old metal folding chairs on the back porch? Could you use a new couch? A chandelier? What about a playscape to keep your children entertained for hours in their own back yard? Rugs, paint, art, lighting...start making your shopping list now for your own home makeover!
