Five Big Impact Low-Cost Remodeling Projects

Here are a few things you can without spending lots of money:


1.  Tidy up kitchen cabinets---people do look inside to see how much room there is.


2. Add or replace tile---Every city has stores that offer $1 to $2 tile so homeowners only have to pay only for low-cost tile and labor to replace a dated backsplash or add a new one.


3.  Add a breakfast bar---When a wall separates a kitchen from a family room try cutting out an opening to create a breakfast bar.  Add an over sized piece of finished granite and put chairs in front of the bar.  Costs around $600.

4.  Install granite tiles instead of a slab---Homeowners can put in 12-inc granite tiles for about $300 in materials and get very high impact for little money.

5.  Tech-up the garage---Replace the garage door opener with a remote touch-pad entry system.  Costs around $425 and looks like a high-end system.
