  DIYers listen up! You need to learn all you can before you tackle any project. The piece that follows includes great tips for those who want to add value to their home through their own hard work.
  
  When it's time to redo a roof, try getting tile that's white or something that's light colored. Lighter colors reflect the sun instead of absorbing it, which means your attic will not be so hot. This can save you quite a bit on your power bill.
  
  Would you spend more time outside if it wasn't for the bugs? A screen-door or netting will help keep the critters at bay. A screened area is a wonderful place to relax by yourself and feel fresh air or spend some enjoyable time together with friends and family. If you would like, you can add a large ceiling fan.
  
  It's usually quite dark in basements. In fact, some basements have no ambient light at all. Be sure to have an artificial lighting layout plan so your basement is livable. Does your basement have walls that come up from ground level? You might be able to put windows in this area if this is the case.
  
  Estimate your budget, add 10% for unexpected expenses, and stick to it. Setting a budget will help you stay in the price range of homes in your neighborhood and save you money. Make sure to stick to your budget throughout the entire project.
  
  Don't try and upgrade the electrical system yourself. A professional can give you the available options and can make any changes needed. If you go it alone, you might end up causing a lot of harm.
  
  Do not let your contractor strain your home improvement budget by saying they will get the job done in an unusually quick time. Contractors have solid reasons to complete work fast. They need to move on to the next paying job. This could be bad because the contractors could attempt to charge extra for overtime that wasn't really needed.
  
  Switch out your cupboard doors! Not everyone can pay for brand new cabinets. If we can just change the doors, we can change the entire look of them for an affordable price. Just make sure you carefully measure to determine what you need before you take the plunge. They are easy to install. Simply screw them where they need to go.
  
  When trying to choose a project, consider whether you plan on selling or staying and then decide on how customized your project should be. Home improvement is a matter of personal taste, but the more personalized your home becomes, the less likely you will be to find a buyer ready to pay a high price for your home.
  
  When you are going to be doing home improvements, make sure you do things that will be viable. Forgetting things like insulation in the North, or sun-shielding in the South, will seriously lower the value of any renovations you make. Make sure you perform renovations that are desired. Never attempt to do renovations that don't make sense with your climate.
  
  Since you now know what you need to do to make a difference in your home, it is time to get started. If you get stuck at any time while you are working on your project, read this article again to see if there is a solution here.
