Quality home remodels take time...<br />

and now is no exception. In fact, current supply chain issues and increased consumer demand<br />

are extending project timeframes, but this gives homeowners time to fully plan and determine<br />

how to get the best bang for their buck. Dan Dressman, executive director of the Home Builders<br />

Association of Greater Cincinnati, has some advice on top home updates that pay off.<br />

“Kitchens and baths have traditionally provided the greatest return on remodeling investment,”<br />

Dressman says. “If you have a limited amount of resources but want to improve your home for<br />

resale, put your money into these two rooms.”<br />

When it comes to kitchens...<br />

this past year has created a new generation of home cooks who want to keep on cooking. And<br />

they want a space that reinforces the kitchen as the heart of the home. So as you remodel, strive<br />

for a soothing space that provides sustenance of a different kind. If you’re not looking to make<br />

drastic changes, consider making smaller tweaks. Add a fresh coat of paint (hint: white is still in,<br />

as are warm colors). Repaint, refinish or upgrade your cabinetry. Even something as simple as<br />

new hardware or value-added amenities such as a new faucet or new lighting can make a stylish<br />

statement or give the kitchen a fresh feel.<br />
