subject: Top Ways To Improve The Value Of Your Home In 2010 [print this page] What should one do next to ascend to the quality lifestyle we all see on television programmes such as 'Grand Designs' and ' Escape to the Country', if you need some guidance on Home Improvement this is the hit-list.
I will show you with the following five steps a sure-fire method with top industry tips and advice:
1.Extension
I would recommend an extension or conservatory project as a first move. For a conservatory I would recommend on large glazing companies offering the best value for money, quality and assurance. For an extension project I would hire a recommended builder or architect with a works portfolio best suited to the style of the project in hand.
2.Loft Conversion
Loft conversion and space is a must these days where the project allows. I would again first try to find recommended local builder although carpenters' as well as specialist local companies may be the best people to carry out this work, ensuring the best quality workmanship and price. If there is no opportunity for a Velux style window, I would seriously consider whether the project was worthwhile in place of another type of Home Improvement. It may create an extra room if selling was the main benefit.
3.Kitchen
Some of the best materials are the Italians', shop around similar products as there are many available to get the best deal in terms of build quality, installation workmanship and overall cost. Builders and carpenters will be a useful resource if it decided that you use local trades-people over specialist kitchen companies for the project.
4.Interior Design
If all the external building work is complete it's fun time designing the inside of your home. I would employ a person such as a designer to guide you around the vast array of products on the market these days. Avoid the trouble of wear by ensuring quality tradesmen are used to carry out the work.
5.Landscaping
The garden is a great place to be these days, get the very best design if you can. Gardening Magazines and books will give a good indication of what to expect. Look for somebody with a design portfolio and find something you like the look of, as gardening is very much down to personal taste. I would also use specialised companies for the project.
Well there are my top 5 picks for industry Home Improvement, they are a good progression toward a comfortable contemporary lifestyle we all want in the UK. Bottoms up for a great 2010 in Home Improvement and value increase in our homes.
