According to HGTV, here are some common home improvement myths you should avoid when trying to add value to your home:
Myth #1: Any remodel is a good one.
Some people think that any improvement is a good one, but not all home improvements are created equal. When making a renovation, keep in mind that you might want to sell the place one day.
Myth #2: I can do it myself.
You may be convinced that you can do it just as well as a contractor, but you can't. There are certain low-risk projects that are very simple to tackle on your own, but there are many others for which you need a professional.
Myth #3: Pools add value.
A lot of people think that adding a swimming pool or hot tub is a sure seller. That's not always true. Location is extremely important. You should think long and hard about building a pool. It could end up being a big money pit.
Myth #4: Follow the latest design trends.
Many homeowners think it's a good idea to follow the latest design trends. Not true. Neutral colors or palettes are more timeless and will appeal to far more people.
