We sincerely hope that you are among the fortunate Phoenicians who will receive a federal tax refund this year. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is working diligently and efficiently to distribute checks to taxpayers across the country, and the national average refund amount is currently estimated to be around $3,000 or even more. This influx of funds can provide a significant financial boost for Phoenix homeowners, allowing you to address various home improvement needs and desires that may have been put on hold throughout the year.
Here are a few upgrades that will certainly increase your family’s comfort, safety, and ultimately the value of your Phoenix home:
Elevate your kitchen – installing new cabinets, a modern countertop, and upgraded appliances is an excellent way to improve kitchen functionality and boost your home's value.
Freshen up your primary bedroom and bath – update outdated lighting fixtures & hardware, repair any leaky faucets, steam clean and reseal your bathtub surfaces, and install a vent fan to reduce your energy costs.
Organize your garage and make it functional – install shelving units, perhaps a workbench, and maybe some overhead storage hooks. As you do this, ensure there's ample space for your family vehicle. There's nothing worse than a hot car in the middle of August in Phoenix.
Inspect and/or replace your windows – windows are a primary source of energy loss in the home, basically letting money escape. Numerous window replacement companies in the Phoenix area can assess your home and suggest improvements, such as dual pane, or tinted windows. We suggest solutions that will reduce your energy costs and offer the highest level of security for your family.
Entryways and security doors – Although the other improvements talked about can boost both the value and comfort of your Phoenix home, none will enhance your home's curb appeal, while also offering security benefits, like an iron entry door or a security screen door. They are both aesthetically pleasing and practical, adding a touch of elegance to your home that you and your guests will appreciate daily. And depending on your insurance provider, you may even qualify for lower home insurance premiums with an additional security discount.
