By now you’re probably excitedly thinking of ways to spend your tax refund; either that or you’re anxiously scrambling to beat that filing deadline.
Either way, if you have a good chunk of change coming your way this tax season, it may be a good opportunity to take a look at those home improvement projects you’ve been putting off. Because what better way to use that new windfall than putting it right back into the place you love most?
As most homeowners can attest, the home improvement cycle is never-ending and finding where to start, what to do and to what extent can be overwhelming. And depending on how much you’ve got to work with, homeowners must first figure out what’s doable and within their budget and timeframe.
Luckily, the kitchen presents a number of options to make those extra dollars stretch by kicking off a project that will add value to your home and turn heads at the same time. From simply changing out hardware pieces to adding a fresh coat of paint to knocking down a wall to create some space, the kitchen is the perfect vessel to handle projects big and small.
Similarly, your bathroom could provide the same kinds of opportunities, albeit in a smaller scale. Installing energy-efficient lights and water-saving faucets and toilets go a long way down the road and only take a small investment on the front end, which makes this a perfect place to put that extra tax cash.
No matter what the size, most home improvement projects are financed in a piecemeal manner, with the resources coming from the usual suspects of a savings account, credit card, small loan or even borrowing from family and friends. Using those hundreds or thousands of dollars from the tax return will save you the headache of draining those savings or having to worry about that monthly credit card payment.
But what about time? Springtime is typically when homeowners start tidying up around the house and families begin planning summer vacations when the kids are off from school. Additionally, some start looking outdoors as the weather clears up and begin focusing on getting that yard or patio done. Of course, using your tax return on landscaping is also a viable option since it never hurts to boost curb appeal.
So how much can you do and where do you begin? The DIY warriors may take on these home projects head on, but many of us just have too much going on during this time of year to handle it all.
