Check Out These 3 Smaller-Scale Ways To Upgrade Your Home
3 Small Ways To Upgrade Milwaukee Homes
Including Window Replacement
We’ll Look At Bathroom Remodeling
And Windows/Door Upgrades
Did you know industry “experts” say you should set aside at least 1% of the purchase price of your Milwaukee-area house each year for home improvement projects or repairs?
So, if your house costs $400,000, you should budget $4,000 annually for maintenance and improvements.
Of course, this amount can depend on the condition of your home and when you last had a remodel or made improvements. In talking to our clients, we’ve learned every Milwaukee family is different in terms of what they want and need when it comes to this kind of thing.
Some people assume remodels must always be large-scale projects. Or they think home improvement has no point unless it’s a major expense, but this isn’t always true.
Let’s talk about three smaller-scale upgrades with colossal impact and excellent ROI.
A “Wet Area” Bathroom Remodel
This is where you upgrade the bathing/showering area. While you’re not touching windows, doors, vanities, general lighting, etc., the change can completely refresh your bathroom.
Maybe you have an old stained tub. Maybe it’s one of those ultra-generic shower enclosures with little storage and a cheap showerhead. Perhaps your area of Milwaukee attracts older demographics, but the bathing area has no “accessibility” features.
- We specialize in professional turn-key bathtub replacement. Our tubs are high-quality and customized to suit you and your bathroom’s needs.
- Another popular upgrade is a tub-to-shower conversion, including modern, fully outfitted, low-barrier walk-in showers.
In our hands, these projects can take as little as one day, and again, you’ll get a major home improvement checked off your list. Explore our Bathroom Case Studies and Bathroom Gallery to see for yourself.
Investing In Quality Replacement Windows
Don’t forget about window upgrades. While these projects aren’t necessarily cheap, depending on the number of windows you need to be replaced, they’re less expensive than significant home improvements like additions or revamping the kitchen.
What if your home really only has 4-6 core windows on the outside that impact the overall aesthetic? If they’re outdated and inefficient, window replacement services could bring great ROI and substantial monthly energy savings!
To see what we mean, check out some of our case studies from window projects and our Window Gallery. Lots of Milwaukee homeowners attack the more front-and-center windows first.
Revamping Your Home’s Entryway
What shape is your home’s front entryway in? More specifically, how welcoming, stylish, and valuable is the door system (security, efficiency, durability, etc)?
If you’re looking for a wise investment and a solid facelift for your home, replacing your front door is a no-downside option. And, again, these projects are generally FAR less expensive than many other types of home improvement.
- Our patio & entry doors come in various materials but are all American-made and built Wisconsin tough.
- We also install great-looking, high-quality storm doors that are engineered for our climate.
- Your new door system will be personalized and have all the bells and whistles of modern doors without the high maintenance needs.
Like our bathroom and window projects, we have case studies of our door projects and a Door Gallery for you to explore. The ones with “Before” and “After” photos help put things into perspective.
What do you think of these options? They’re dependable ways to invest money in your home and reap the benefits without breaking the bank. With decades of experience in the area, the professionals at TightSeal are ready to help.
