How to Stay Within Your Home Improvement Budget

Home improvement projects range from small scale undertakings that can be tackled in a single weekend to large remodels that can take several months to complete. While no two projects are the same, every home improvement project demands that homeowners dip into their pockets and spend some money.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK Before you decide to make changes to your home, it’s best to first do some research into any potential projects you’re considering. Many homeowners have decided to dive into a project before they fully realize its scope and cost, and going in blind can bust a budget, turning what might have seemed like a relatively simple project into a money pit.

Understanding just what a project entails and how much it’s likely to cost can give homeowners an idea of what they can afford and where they might be able to stretch their budgets. For example, if you want to replace your kitchen countertops but can’t afford engineered quartz countertops, you might be able to find a less expensive alternative, such as tile, that you like just as much. If you can’t find a less expensive alternative, you might want to postpone the project until you can grow your budget. Starting the project without first grasping its true cost is a recipe for disaster, so do your homework before you find your toolbox and start working.

PLAN FOR THE UNSEEN COSTS Be sure to budget for unforeseen expenses that may pop up. Whether you’re doing the project yourself or paying a contractor, nearly every home improvement project will present some unforeseen, and costly, hurdles. For example, you might find mold inside the walls when you’re converting a basement, and it can cost a pretty penny to make that mold go away. If you go into the project expecting such hurdles, then the financial sting of addressing them won’t prove too great a burden. But if the mold catches you and your budget completely off guard, you might be forced to overextend that budget or make sacrifices elsewhere in order to complete the project. Build some contingency money, including permit and permit fees, into your home improvement project to safeguard against such unforeseen issues.

PROVIDE THE LABOR If you’re hiring a contractor, speak to him or her before signing a contract to see if there is anywhere you can pitch in to keep the labor costs low. You might be able to pitch in during the demolition phase, saving the cost of paying your contractor’s workers to tear down walls or remove debris you can just as easily remove yourself. You can save yourself a substantial amount of money on labor if you’re willing to get your hands dirty.

PLAN YOUR APPROACH Sometimes it makes sense to tackle one project at a time, while other times you might want to combine projects to save on the cost of materials. For instance, if your ultimate goal is to install wood flooring throughout your home, determine if it makes more financial sense to install the flooring all at once rather than doing one or two rooms at a time. You might save by buying all of your materials at once rather than buying a small amount of materials several times over the next several years.

Mini-Mudrooms Keep Weather Messes at Bay Contending with snow and ice isn’t something we’re necessarily in tune with in Eastern North Carolina. But given last year’s ice storms, it seems climate change may have another idea in store for us moving forward, giving homeowners a new hassle to tend with – slushy and wet messes indoors. After spending time outdoors in wintry weather, people inevitably track in sand and debris from the outside. Not only can this leave floors unsightly but it also creates a slipping hazard.

Men and women who live in multi-season climates know how invaluable a mudroom can be.

When snow, mud, rain, and even summer sand gets lodged in footwear and gear, a mudroom is the perfect place to keep it from spreading throughout the rest of the house. Unfortunately, not every homeowner or renter has the space available for an entire room devoted to sloppy boots and wet mittens. However, a mini-mudroom can be created even in a small alcove.

Thinking creatively can help you turn an entryway or laundry room – or even a closet – into a small mudroom. Equipped with just the essentials, this space will not lack in form or function.

To get started, think about what is housed within a mudroom. You are sure to find a few key elements: • A bench for putting on and taking off shoes • Hooks for coats, scarves and hats • Trays for wet boots and shoes • Cubbies or baskets for miscellaneous gear • A basket for pet leashes or keys • A rack for wet umbrellas • Shelves to store dry towels to dry off pets or

people.

Next, assess how much space you have to devote to a mudroom. Keep in mind that you may be able to find an antique piece of furniture that combines the bench with hooks and even a mirror at an antique store or online. Otherwise, it can be fashioned easily with just a few materials.

For those who have adequate space in their

entryway, a two-seater bench is a must. To add decorative flair, cover a cushion sized to the bench with a water-resistant fabric designed to be used outdoors. This way kids or adults with damp coats or pants will not ruin the cushions when they sit

down. If space is limited, a simple stool tucked into a corner provides a place to sit.

Stow a few wicker storage bins under the bench.

These can be assigned to each member of the family and be used to hold backpacks, gloves and hats or even sports gear. If there isn’t much room beneath the bench, purchase inexpensive boot trays that can keep wet shoes from puddling right on the floor.

You will find that well-placed wall hooks can tidy up a mudroom or foyer quite easily by having a place for just about everything. These hooks can be used to keep coats until they are dry enough to hang in the closet. Hooks can hold hats and tote bags. To make the space look more like a home and less like a locker room, think about adding a few hooks that simply hold decorative plaques or artwork to break up the utility of the space.

A table or a shelf right inside the door can be a place to store mail and keys. It also may be a place to serve as a transfer station of important paperwork that should be brought to school or work.

Some people do not have any usable space to use as a mudroom. In these instances, why not turn a coat closet into a mini-mudroom? Take off the door of the closet so the space then becomes an alcove. Frame it with decorative molding and paint the interior walls a complementary color or use bead board or wallpaper for texture. Slip in a freestanding bench that fits the width of the closet, or create a bench that attaches directly to the interior wall. Add a coat rack and a basket to store shoes, and you have a functional space.

Keep in mind that while mudroom items are primarily meant to be functional, that doesn’t mean they can’t be stylish, too. Coordinate fabric patterns or wood colors with the decor in the rest of your house. If and when you cannot find pieces that fit the dimensions of the space you have, think outside the box and build them yourself.
