Best Home Improvements to Increase Value

June 4, 2020

Whether you’re thinking of selling in the next six months or a few years down the road, remodeling with ROI in mind is a smart move. Your home is a huge financial investment, and any money you put toward it should not only increase your enjoyment of the home now but also add value that you’ll recoup when you sell.

According to the Zillow Group Consumer Housing Trends Report 2018, sellers make an average of 2.2 renovations or improvements before selling. And 79% of sellers make at least one improvement, which means that only 21% list their home as-is.

How to budget for renovations to increase home value

Before researching renovations that might add the most value to your home, decide how much you can afford to spend and how you’ll pay for the renovations.

The truth about Home Improvement’s Tool Time audience

May 12, 2020

| home improvement

The show-within-a-show aspect of Home Improvement gave it the opportunity to use its studio audience in a way that few sitcoms ever had, but taping in front of an audience carries advantages beyond just prompting home viewers to laugh. Sitcoms that are taped this way almost always employ multiple tapings to get the best takes, and if a joke is falling flat or the audience otherwise responds unfavorably to something that’s scripted, it gives the writers and producers a chance to course-correct.

The advent of the laugh track meant that even single-camera shows that were obviously shot on sound stages could mimic the effect of an audience chortling along with the action onscreen, but, for the purposes of fine-tuning each episode and maintaining an authentic, stage play-like presentation, many sitcoms, even today, choose to shoot before a live studio audience. Recent hit shows like The Big Bang Theory, 2 Broke

Landlord’s home improvements raise issues

Q: My husband and I are renting a house in Elk River, Minn. The home is perfectly fine; however, the owner, who is our landlord, re-sided the house during a very rainy period of about five weeks while we were living there. My young dogs and I were very nervous with the noise level of that project. We were tolerant of it and got through it.

Now the homeowner wants to replace all the windows. He requested entry for his workers to perform this work. I have asthma and refused their entry, due to rising dust. Now we’re afraid that the homeowner may be upset with us and feel uncomfortable with the arrangement. We have paid our rent on time for the last four months. We just wanted a peaceful place to live. We have been landlords in the past and can’t imagine being so disruptive of a tenant’s space.

Home improvements and your taxes

As a homeowner you may be asking, “Do I get a tax break for all the money I’ve spent fixing up my house?” The answer depends on the kinds of improvements you’ve made and how well you’ve kept track of your expenses. Here’s an overview of how home improvements can affect your taxes.

When you make a home improvement, such as installing central air conditioning or replacing the roof, you can’t deduct the cost in the year you spend the money. But, if you keep track of those expenses, they may help you reduce your taxes in the year you sell your house.

Improvements versus repairs

Money you spend on your home breaks down into two categories, tax-wise: the cost of improvements versus the cost of repairs.

Capital improvements

You add the cost of capital improvements to your tax basis in the house.

Your tax basis is the amount you’ll

“Expect continued improvements” in Colorado

Fifty years after America’s first Earth Day spurred cleanups that led to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency, Colorado residents face less toxic muck, and pollution will decrease more in the future, federal enforcers say — rejecting claims that President Donald Trump has hobbled a once-robust agency.

People in Colorado and surrounding states who are bothered by the degradation of air, land and water should “expect continued improvements,” EPA regional administrator Greg Sopkin told The Denver Post.

But EPA regulatory rollbacks this week reached the point that Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser launched a legal battle to restore wetland and waterway protections. And state leaders accused the EPA of leaving states on their own to deal with unprecedented climate and health threats.

Colorado’s public health department, for example, is struggling to carry out state lawmakers’ order to cut heat-trapping greenhouse gas pollution from about 125 million tons a year

LONG BRANCH – Home and small business owners can get a tax break on improvements to their dwellings in a new tax plan the city adopted Wednesday.

The plan, called “Fairer Long Branch,” was introduced in February and then had to be reviewed by the Planning Board. The City Council vote was pushed back further due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The timing of the plan, which comes at a moment when tax revenue may be lost due to COVID-19 social distancing measures, didn’t deter the city from passing it.

“We’ll go through with it. I think ultimately, it will encourage people to improve their properties,” Pallone said.

The council voted 5-0 for the plan in a meeting that was live-streamed.

Approximately 1 in 4 CPGs interviewed for a new report by PMMI Business Intelligence are making machine purchases or modifications specifically to address packaging sustainability goals. Solutions such as integrated monitoring and more flexible machinery can improve packaging operations with improvements to OEE or by offering less waste.

“Packaging sustainability: it’s just the right thing to do. Today, it’s top-of-mind,” said one Manager of Packaging R&D at a shelf stable products company.

Another VP of Technology and Environment advised, “There’s an overall industry initiative for many companies to be 100% recyclable in the years ahead, but more companies need to think about implementation strategies.”

Switching to Paper or Recycled Blister Packaging Without New Machines

According to the report, there are five functional machine improvements that would have the greatest impact on CPG operations for manufacturing a more sustainable package, and OEMs and suppliers must work closely with brand manufacturers to
