1. Ways to Improve the Value of Your Home
Life is worth living because it’s about doing things. Do things to improve your relationships. Do things to
improve your appreciation for the world around you. Do things to improve your station in life. Life
becomes interesting and fun when you do things. Don’t fall into the stereotype of being entertained all
the time.
Instead, try to entertain others or improve the world around you. One thing you can work on is
improving the value of your own home. There are a couple things you can do to accomplish this goal. All
of them can be protected by your California insurance agency to preserve your work.
Home Renovations
Build your own deck in your backyard. The process has become a lot simpler over the past
few decades.
In the years past, you had to spend a lot of time shaping and carving your own
wood, digging your own holes and setting your own cement. There are several
tools that make that process null and void for you.
You can pick up premade cement footings that will stabilize and hold up your
deck without needing to dig individual holes. Dig one shallow instead and line
them up in a row.
Factories will cut your wood to perfect sizes. Depending on your budget, you can get really fancy wood,
or cheaper, generic wood. Whichever you decide on, you can get them in convenient sizes—like 2 x 6’s,
making it easy to buy and simply install them. Long gone are the days when you would have to shave
and shape them yourself.
The process is relatively simple and there are many tutorials on the internet that help you get the job
done yourself. The best thing about this option is that it is cheaper for you to do it than for a contractor
to come out and do it.

2. When done properly, it will increase the value of your
home to such a degree that you would make a nice return
on your investment, were you to sell the house. Your
California insurance attorney could help make sure it’s
protected from the worst Mother Nature can send at it.
Repaint your home. A lively and well painted house is one
that people want to buy. When fair market value is best
influenced by how much people are willing to spend for a
house, when a property has a good feel to it, the
perceived value increases. Aside from that, you also enjoy
your home a bit more.
Install or replace your old trim. This can be a bit more difficult than the deck, but the rewards are worth
it. When you can put in your own crown molding or other trim materials, you can increase the visual
appeal of your home. The work you do has fair market value and can be protected by your California
insurance agency, should you decide to cover it.
Other ideas include remodeling any home in your house. This idea can be pricey and longwinded, but
the effect of it is beautiful, refreshing and helpful to adding value to your home.
The labor and new materials make the house worth more. Seek out opportunities to make it necessary
to update your California insurance agency’s coverage plan for your home to better increase your
station in life.
