(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 15, 2009 ) Colorado Springs, CO – Paul Doughty owns HandyPro Handyman Services in El Paso County, Colorado. People often ask him how much return they can expect by completing certain home improvement projects in today’s economy and declining home values.

Paul explained, “One thing to consider if you are making improvements to sell your home is: Would the average homebuyer be likely to do the same if they buy your home? If the answer is yes, then you would be more likely to recover the cost; if the answer is no, then you are not increasing the resale value with the improvement.”

Another important factor to consider is the area the home is located in. “It would not be a good idea to build a large deck, surrounding a built-in swimming pool if the home is located in an area with a very short summer season,” said Doughty. “A gazebo and hot tub might not be the best idea for a home in an area of lower-end houses where people do not typically have these things.”

Paul also made another important point. “Some homeowners will make home improvements to make their home more enjoyable; for example, the hot tub and gazebo. If they can afford it and the yard is large enough, and they plan to stay in their home for 5-10 years, and they’re content with a small return on their investment in exchange for enjoyment, then it may be money well spent.”
