Call it renovating, call it remodeling, call it updating. On every street in every city and every town in North America somebody is doing it. Many don’t give enough thought to whether they are investing wisely on the project. Most people assume that money spent on the house is money well spent. Some projects are clear winners like replacing an old conventional furnace with a modern furnace. Others are not so clear like a high end remodel. In fact most remodeling efforts do not pay back on resale of the house.

The session looks at renovating, remodeling and repairing your house with respect to which areas are the best bang for the buck. Which areas pay you back and which do not.
