Planning any home improvement project requires that you consider at least a dozen different factors. What improvements does your home need the most? Where should you focus your spending? How long will those improvements last? After all, making a trendy improvement that won?t stand the test of time is no improvement at all. Instead, consider these main characteristics of home improvements before you take them on.
Installing brick or stone improvements around your home is one of longest lasting home improvements you can make.
Appliances ? Though it depends greatly on the amount of use they receive, you can expect appliances to last between nine and 15 years.
Cabinetry ? As one of the longest lasting improvements you can make, new kitchen cabinets are expected to last over 50 years.
Concrete and Masonry ? Installing a chimney or brick veneer is one of the most valuable improvements you can make in your home. They often last a lifetime and features such as a brick wall often last longer, more than a hundred years actually.
Next time, we?ll continue our home improvements series and tell you much more about home improvements that not only last, but also make your home stand out when you?re ready to sell. Subscribe to the Jeff Lien Blog to learn more!
