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.

| 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.
