Add some warnth and atmosphere

Get some color on the walls! If your interior is still the builders grade white or antique white, it is time for some color. I am not saying every room, but some color can make a huge difference. Dining rooms need color, kitchens need color, master bedrooms need color. You need to have an atmosphere in these rooms. Color adds atmosphere and warmth.

Update your kitchen and bath floors

If you have vinyl on either your bathroom or kitchen floors its time to bring things into the 2000's.
Ceramic Tile is very durable inexpensive way to bring new color into these rooms but also bring value. Ceramic tile is so cheap at Lowes and Home Depot there is no reason not to update.

Interior Designers are worth every penny

I encourage clients to use a, interior designer when painting more than 3 rooms. Most clients
have no idea what really matches their furniture. A designer can pull everything together. In the end, for the small amount a designer cost for picking new colors or just confirming what you have already in mind, they are so helpful. At, Advantage Handyman Services, we have a staff designer. who assists our clients so the final project is always a home run.

Basment are the best return on dollar

Basement finishing is without a doubt the best return on your money for a home improvement project. Where else can you get finished space for around 30$ square foot? With a little creativity you can add a theater, workout room, game area and endless storage in this space.

Make it look like you spent a furtune

I cannot tell you how many time people will show me previous projects they have gotten done at their house. They will say we got this kitchen remodeled for 20k. I think to myself, it looks like you spent 20k. The goal should always be to spend 15k and make it look like you spent 20.

Easy way to add some extra space

It is amazing how a screen porch, which you will use 7-8 months out of the year, can add some great space to your home. It is a great good to eat, relax and read in. There is just something about being outside, without the sun beating down on you that is refreshing. A wicker sofa on such a porch creates the perfect reading area. Add a colorful plant on a table and it will be where you want to eat dinner.
