5 Remodeling Projects Under $10,000

I recently have been doing some research on cost friendly options for upgrading your home and I found this very good article this morning. Myself like many other young homeowners, come to that point where that first house that you purchased just isn't what it once was and you find yourself yearning for something new. But you find yourself torn whether to buy new or take on a new remodeling project. With money typically having a say, another option might be less expensive minor makeovers to various areas of the house. Here are 5 minor remodeling projects that cost less than $10,000 each.

1. A basic bathroom makeover -
Unlike adding a bathroom, which between plumbing and all the rest runs $30,000 and up , a basic makeover can be done for a third of the cost and offer more bang for the buck.

2. A deck is a simple way to add space -
With the many types of weather resistant decking products available at lower prices today, decks are the next best thing to whole new room additions. These new products are more expensive than traditional redwood decking but the maintenance and up keep is incomparable.

3. A garden fit for a queen -
Landscaping is the cheapest, most underrated way to improve a home's curb appeal. But instead of simply resodding a weed infested yard, consider planting an English garden of flowers, trees and stone. Another idea for yards in arid climates might be desert plants, which can reduce water consumption by 60%.

4. New windows will brighten your outlook -
It's amazing what new windows can do for your perspective and for your home's curb appeal. In recent years vinyl windows have improved in quality while dropping in price. You can replace windows in stages, instead of doing it all at once. By replacing them 10 at a time, you can save that one big hit to the pocket book but complete the job in a days time.

5. Sprucing up your kitchen -
Often when remodeling a kitchen you can spend as much as you dream of. But when you have a budget you have to be very careful on product quality. A kitchen remodel for under $10,000 is possible if you head to the closest IKEA superstore, where a set of 18 replacement cabinets will run you about $4,000 and up. If you add $3,000 for installation and about $1,500 for new Formica countertops, you have that like-new kitchen. Another cost efficient option might be cabinet refacing.

These are some great cost effective ways to update that house while on a budget.
