  Any area in the home that experiences moisture, such as the kitchen or bathroom, should should have water-resistant wall board installed. Commonly known as "green board" in the building industry, water-resistant wall board stands up to increased moisture better than standard board, and most brands are treated to prevent the growth of dangerous mold that can thrive in damp areas.
  
  Regular cleaning of carpets helps you feel that your home is cleaner. You may want to deep clean carpets once or twice a year. This will make your house feel cleaner and keep it looking new.
  
  Starting a landscaping project will enhance the way your property and home appear. When planning a landscaping project consider using a variety of textures in your design. Adding proper landscape to your yard greatly increases first impressions and goes a long way in increasing the value of your home.
  
  Build an inventory of common hardware like screws, nails and fasteners. That way when you go to hang up a picture or do another project you have the necessary hardware on hand.
  
  A great way to lower the cost of your electric bill is to use a motion sensor light instead of a regular porch light. You can still turn the light on manually when you need to, and most models also let you fine tune the sensitivity.
  
  Cover surfaces prior to demolishing or painting walls for protection. If you protect them from paint or scratches, you are saving yourself work in the long run. So, keep your walls protected from flying debris if you are not planning to repaint them. You should also cover fixtures and floors so they are not splattered with paint.
  
  Make sure you have the proper equipment necessary for your safety as you work on a project that calls for such things. For instance, get a back harness if you are going to lift anything heavy or a helmet if you believe this will be useful.
  
  You may be able to make an improvement that will reduce your water bill through making plumbing more efficient. Low flow toilets, energy star water heaters and shower heads can all be added at relatively cheap prices. These new fixtures can add value to your property through modernity and environmentalism, along with saving a bunch on your monthly water bill.
  
  You can avoid damage to your house's foundation by directing rainwater away from the house. Try to make your yard slope in the direction of the street or make your downspout longer.
  
  Make sure any contractor that you're considering has the proper licensing your state requires. Every state has a licensing board website you can use to check this information. Alternatively, you can call the board and ask. An unlicensed contractor is a sign that they did something to lose their license, or are just a scam artist.
  
  Making your tile floors a source of heat is easier and less expensive than you might think. Check with a salesman about tile and adding this type of heating method to it. This heat source feels great and is very efficient. Radiant heat flooring is a very good thing to have if you are going to sell your home.
  
  Try replacing your existing light bulbs with bulbs that are more energy efficient. In addition to being good for the environment and lowering your electric bill, they are more long-lasting than traditional bulbs. Use modern, energy efficient bulbs instead.
  
  If you need a substantial renovation done for your home, hire an experienced contractor. Contractors, architects, and designers have their jobs for a reason. Fort Mill Homes, Charlotte Homes, Charlotte Homes
