Average Cost of Home Improvements

2008 looks to be a big year for home improvements, but you shouldn't attempt a remodel or a home addition unless armed with cost information. Getting ballpark figures on new windows or a new deck or vinyl siding will get you thinking in the right terms from the start. This doesn't mean you can't spend more or spend less, but at least you'll know what to expect. See average costs.

The Forgotten Remodeling Step
Homeowners always seem to look in the same place to shave costs on home projects. It's usually not cheaper roofing materials or a countertop that isn't so fancy. Big surprise there. Yet where many choose to trim is a bad idea, doesn't save money, and can slow down a project. Find out more
