No Project is worth undertaking unless it improves your life!
The biggest concern I hear when clients want to make changes in their home is this…
“Will I get my money’s worth out of it?”
Maybe you will…maybe not.
Now don’t get discouraged. The worst thing I can do is inflate your expectations to make money, or break even on your project. But take a broader view on what you’re trying to accomplish…and maximize your return .
The best way to do this is look at it from three perspectives…
The first, and most important, is what your project does for you. When it comes to improving your life style, how much are you worth? How valuable is your comfort and safety?
Next is the future owner. Let’s face it; no matter how long you plan to live in your home, at some point, you’ll sell it. The more value it has to future owners, the more you’ll get.
And that brings us to the home itself. How does your project add value to your home?
It’s about making smart changes…sellable features that separate your home from the competition.
In this article, I’ll tell you how to change your home into the living space you’ll love. You’ll also learn how details, like kitchen faucets, increase your home’s resale value.
Make smart decisions now — and you’ll get the highest return on every penny spent.
The First Person to Take Care of…is You.
No project is worth undertaking unless it improves your daily life.

After You — the Next Owner.
Currently, most houses are built to a standard body size; a five-foot, ten-inch male in his 40’s. How many people do you know like that? In fact, this “one size fits all” fits very few people… Including future buyers. Universal Design (or Inclusive Design), creates homes that surround us with beauty. It gives us the ability to flow through our daily chores with as little effort and thought as possible. It adds flexibility for people of all ages. Best of all, older people have full access throughout their homes…and the freedom to live there as long as they choose. I use this principle in all my designs. It’s how I guarantee your change is safe, functional, and has the broadest appeal.
How to Maximize Your Home’s Value.
You get the most from your home when it attracts the largest market. Read my blog, “How to Profit From the Mega Trend in Housing”, to learn how to capitalize on this. There was a time, not so long ago, when homes didn’t include an office. Now office space is standard. The next big trend is aging in place.
- Requests for ‘mother-in-law suites’ are skyrocketing.
- Curbless showers — once found only in assisted living facilities — have gained momentum.
- Already popular in Europe, young and old (including the family dog!) prefer this to older designs.
- Small details, like lever-handled hardware in kitchens and bathrooms, differentiate you from the crowd.
These are just some of the features buyers will seek in the future. When you invest now, you’re ahead of the others. Your home will sell faster, and for more — regardless of what’s happening in the market.
