Improving your home for your own enjoyment as well as to increase home value is a great way to protect your real estate investment. You may think that any significant home improvements cost a lot more than you can afford, but in reality there are several things you can do to improve your rooms at a very low cost. With the stimulus money that everyone is receiving, you might want to spend some of that money on home improvements. Here are a few ideas.
Crown Molding
If your crown molding is deteriorating, now is a great time to have it replaced. This is also a good time to have new crown molding installed to change the look of a room. Crown molding is relatively inexpensive on its own. You can get it for about $7 to $16 per linear foot, or $400 to $1200 depending on the size of the room. If you want to have crown molding installed throughout your home the cost could rise to as much as $4,000.
Update Trim
The trim in your home, particularly baseboards, can become worn over time. Sometimes a fresh coat of paint is all that is needed, but other times you may need to replace your trim. Trim installation costs about $4 to $6 per linear foot, or about $350 to $750 per room depending on the size.
Install a Tongue and Groove Ceiling
Tongue and groove ceilings are becoming increasingly popular, and it is very easy to upgrade your ceilings. It only costs about $3 to $6 per square foot installed, or about $1300 depending on the number and size of rooms to be upgraded.
