If it is done right, a remodeling project can add tremendous value to your home. Completing these projects takes time, patience, and money. In this article we will share with you some of the best time and money-saving tips for completing your next home improvement project.

Adding insulation to your walls, crawl spaces and attics isn’t something that a lot of people think about when it comes to improving your home, but they should. Adding insulation is a great way to make your home cooler in the summer, warmer in the winter, and more sound proof.

Add an unusual addition to your home to give it character. Perhaps you can add built-ins, a wine cellar or a library. Additions like these will impress visitors, but will also give potential buyers an extra reason to purchase your property.

Use shelf brackets to silence your squeaky stairs. Metal shelf brackets can have a multitude of uses. One use is to attach them underneath stairs to stop them from squeaking. Use a drill to quickly screw them into place. Be careful not to allow the screws to protrude through the steps!

If you find that you’ve tried just about everything to make a door stop creaking or squeaking, it’s time consider buying a new hinge for the door. Every hardware store has them. All you need to is attach each section to your door and the frame of your wall. Align up the hinges and place the pins.

Installing carpet can be a daunting task if done yourself, or an expensive task if you pay a professional to do it. Fortunately there is an alternative. Much like vinyl floor tiles, there are carpet tiles that exist. These too have adhesive backing that allows you to install them easily, and they look just like real sheet carpeting when installed.

Get new metal fixtures for your bathroom. Shower curtain rods, towel racks and even toilet paper holders come in assorted shapes and finishes. Quite often, you can find these fixtures in coordinating collections at your local home improvement store. Many packages can be installed in less than a day.

If you’re looking to add variety to your rooms with paint you can do it very quickly and cost effectively. Paint one wall a different striking color in your room that doesn’t match the other wall colors. This will create a new focal point in your room and make your space feel like it just had a real update.

Give your bathroom a unique touch by deciding on a theme. Most people spend hours in their bathrooms, but apart from the coordinated colors, nothing seems to be unique. Come up with fun themes like pirate, under the sea, at the beach, or shipwrecked. Finding accessories for your idea can be fun and give your bathroom a sense of personality.
