Some Home Fixes that Sounded Like a Good Idea at the Time

It can be a fun adventure to buy a home and try and fix it up or to even just try and renovate your current property. Even so, sometimes a fix that might have sounded like a good idea, could cause more pain the profit in the end.

• Homes built before 1978: These homes have lead paint and therefor any attempts at tearing down a wall to try and make a room bigger need to be handled by professionals with extreme care. Paint with lead in it can cause damage to a person's health and should always be taking into consideration when renovating older homes.
• Adding a master suite addition to your bedroom: This may sound like a good idea to add a touch of elegance to a home but frequently these types of additions can cost as much as the property is worth! Not a good bang for the buck.
• Adding a Sunroom: This parallels with the above addition as it will cost a pretty penny to add the square footage onto your home. This is something you must decide if it is worth it to you to have the extra light or the extra cash.
• A large home office: Having an office at the privacy of your own home is great but with an entire renovation of bookshelves and filing space, it may not be worth it. In these days everything has become wireless and paperless causing much less of a nee for such a large office space.
