________________________________________________________________________________

Remodeling your current home could be the way to have the house of your dreams (if you don’t already) without having to buy a new one. If you are unhappy about any aspect of your home, remodeling is the answer to have all your needs met without the hassle of hunting for a new home. Since remodeling a home is a major project which requires lots of planning, budgeting, and organizing, you may be tempted to postpone it for the next month, next year, and so on, until you realize you never got around to doing it and wish that you had just started! So if you are sitting on the fence regarding a home remodeling project, here are ten smart reasons to remodel now that just might get you off of the fence!

1. Interest rates being low, it could be now or never to remodel your home before interest rates go up again! If you have a good history of credit and have good home equity in your kitty, then don’t think twice about remodeling!
2. You can improve the value of your home considerably by remodeling. Even if you are not thinking of selling your home, remodeling it now when interest rates are low could result in lesser expenses when remodeling which could bring you higher profit years down the line if you should choose to sell your home.
3. If you have significant repairs that have to be done to your home, it would be optimal to start before any significant wear or tear happens, as that would only cost you more money to repair. Nip the repairs in the bud by remodeling your home now!
4. Contractors are ready to work even on “small” jobs nowadays because they have to keep their employees busy and happy in today’s economy! So make use of the situation and get your contractor hired right now!
5. Make your house energy efficient. Governments offer tax rebates and subsidies to homes for buying and running energy efficient infrastructure, whether it is solar powered panels or a small windmill. With the cost of utility going through the roof, now would be a good time to make your home energy efficient. Not to mention the benefits for the environment too!
6. Make your home modern and trendy. Not to keep up with the Joneses, but to satisfy your craving for that modern kitchen you find yourself constantly dreaming about! Or to have that deck that you have been drooling over in that design magazine.
7. Make your home more spacious and bright. You can do this by expanding a room, installing skylights or French windows.
8. Make space for entertaining. You can do this by adding a patio or deck to your home to accommodate your friends and family.
9. Make space for elderly family members coming to live with you.
10. Remodel to increase the value of your home if you are going to put it up for sale.
