  Not all home improvement projects are overwhelming. Simply breaking your projects down into manageable pieces will make home improvement very simple. Use the following home improvement advice to understand what level of commitment you'll need to give before starting a project.
  
  Keep your water usage in mind when deciding how to update your home. You can decrease the amount of water used by installing low-flow shower heads, water heaters and commodes. These low-flow additions increase your property value and can cut down on your monthly water bills.
  
  Consider the climate of your local area before making improvements to your home. If you live in California, an upgraded central air-conditioning unit would be a better choice than a wood-burning fireplace. And, while a swimming pool might be enjoyed in a warm area, it might not be appropriate for states with colder climates.
  
  Consult a trusted real estate agent about which home improvements add the most market value. They are aware of market trends and what families are looking for.
  
  Installing a new mailbox is an easy way to spiff up your home. This can do wonders for curbside appeal. Always check with city regulations before putting up a new mailbox. You can do this job fairly quickly.
  
  If you have a hole in your home that you think mice are using as an access point, put steel wool inside. Mice are unable to chew through steel wool; therefore, it will prevent them from entering.
  
  As you take steps to improve your home, you can do things that not only improve your house but make it reflect your tastes. Including your own personal touch can make any project special.
  
  Almost all supplies that are used in projects concerning home improvement are targets for a thief. You should keep building supplies locked up when you are not working. If the home itself is secure, with windows and doors that lock, it is fine to leave the supplies inside. When the home isn't secure, it is nice to have a locked storage unit.
  
  Swap out all light bulbs at your house for the energy efficient kind. These new bulbs last a very long time. In addition to that, they are more cost efficient, brighter, and better for the environment. So swap out those incandescent light bulbs for ones that are more energy efficient.
  
  Keep a little box of various fasteners available at all times. Nuts, bolts, screws and nails are pesky to try and dig out of drawers and irritating to have to go and buy, so keeping a handy selection conveniently available can speed up all sorts of minor home improvement projects.
  
  Paint is the foundation of any room and sets the tone - start there before planning for other elements. Painting your ceilings and walls will go faster and easier if you get it done before installing your flooring. Even with tarps and drop cloths, you are sure to find a way to get some paint on your beautiful new flooring.
  
  One important home improvement project is to create a pathway that takes water away from the walls of your foundation. You can give a small incline to your or you can make the downspout release the water far from your home.
