Financing Your Home Improvement Project

Meet with Your Mortgage Broker to Discuss Options

Homeowners planning a remodel or home improvement project should carefully consider how they will finance the job. Many payment and financing options exist.The one that suits you best will depend on many factors -- including how much your project will cost, how much money you have on hand, how long the project will last, whether you will be doing other home improvement projects in the future, and how much equity you have in your home. Home Equity Loan A home equity loan is a loan that uses your house as collateral, just like your primary mortgage. With a home equity loan, you borrow against the value of your home less the amount of the existing mortgage (in other words, the equity). The borrowed amount is fixed, which makes it a good option if you are financing a one-time project. The interest rate is also fixed, which can be advantageous if you think interest rates will rise over the life of the loan. Another plus: The interest you pay on a home equity loan used for home improvements is tax deductible (up to $1 million; the limit is $100,000 for non-home-improvement projects).

NEHomeLife.com | January 2017

Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) Like a home equity loan, a home equity line of credit (HELOC) uses your home as collateral to guarantee payment. A HELOC functions like a revolving line of credit -- you can withdraw various amounts of money over time up to a certain maximum.The maximum you can withdraw is based upon the available equity in your home. HELOCs work well if you have a long-term project or will need funds for additional home improvements in the future. The interest rate for a HELOC is usually variable, which means it can start low but climb higher if the prime rate rises. Like home equity loans, the interest you pay on a HELOC is tax-deductible. Refinance and Get Cash Another option for funding a home improvement project is to refinance your original mortgage for a larger amount and get the difference back in cash. As with any home loan, you'll pay closing costs and fees.This option might be attractive if you have a large project, home prices are rising, and interest rates are low.

Don't Use Financing from Your Contractor Most experts warn against getting financing from your contractor or using a lender recommended by your contractor. Some shady contractors get deals from sub-prime lenders that are loaded with hidden costs and fees. It's best to negotiate the project's price with your contractor and then get financing on your own. Meet with Your Mortgage Broker The first place to start on any project is with a mortgage professional. He will offer a wide variety of options and have answers on what will work best for your project. Call Peter DeFusco for questions about your home improvement project ay 508-678-1166

THE HOME SHOW

2017 HOME RENOVATION GUIDE Kitchens, Baths & Additions

New England HomeLife Magazine and New England Home Shows have come together to offer our readers a monthly comprehensive guide to renovations and improvements for homeowners throughout the region. Each month we will offer viewpoints and advice on how to make your home improvement project a complete success and New England Home Shows will introduce you to the professionals that can make it all happen.

The Benefits of Renovating Your Home

There are many benefits to renovating your home, and creative home remodeling can be an exciting venture. Renovating is your opportunity to express your individuality and style through your home. With a plan, a dream and an understanding of the benefits for upgrading your property, anyone can accomplish their desired renovation.

Whether your project is a simple home improvement, updating one or more rooms or even adding a new addition, remodeling your home can be a rewarding and profitable experience. The money that you decide to spend on renovating will be a long term investment in the comfort and enjoyment of your house. Many home improvements return over 90% cost to value ratios, the key here is planning it properly.

Remodeling the Kitchen The Heart of the Home

Most people consider the kitchen to be the heart of the home, and because of this, updates in this room pay off. According to HGTV, you can expect to recoup 60%-120% of your investment on a kitchen remodel, as long as you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go overboard. You should never make your kitchen fancier than the rest of the house, it should fit into the style and design of your present home and function as an integral part of your home. If you plan on selling your home within the next five years, keep potential buyers in mind before you start on any major remodel; many people wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay for a fancy deluxe kitchen that is too much for the home around it. The best rule of thumb is to align your

budget for the renovation at no more than 20% of the total value of the property, this will insure a great return on your investment when you sell. A Little Paint Goes a Long Way When it comes to how much you spend on a kitchen remodel prices can run the gamut, from $5,000 to $75,000, or more. Get the biggest bang for your buck on a kitchen remodel by looking at color. Fresh paint, in modern colors, can go a long way towards updating the look of your kitchen. Plus, paint is relatively cheap. You might want to consider using low-VOC paint; this makes your kitchen more eco-friendly, and helps your family avoid breathing in dangerous chemicals, like benzene, that off-gas from regular fresh paint. Energy-Efficient Appliances Replace old appliances with energy-efficient models. Energy Star-rated appliances are better for the environment, and they also help you save money, because they use less energy. Potential buyers often look for ways to save money when shopping for a new home. Smart Kitchen Planning Where things are located in the kitchen is the key to how your kitchen works. Follow the appliance triangle for easy food preparation and make sure the dishwasher is close to the sink.

Remodeling or Adding a Bath The Oasis

Remodeling a bathroom is at the top of the list with homeowners, it is also where more mistakes are made in remodeling than any other room in the home today. It is critical to assess space, plan properly and seek out expert advice before you begin. There are simple rules to follow and they are all about function, design and layout. Bath renovations have high returns in resale of your home, if they are done right. Adding a Second or Third Bath If your home only has one bathroom, you can recoup a large chunk of your investment by adding another one. HGTV estimates that you can recoup 80%-130% of whatever you spend adding a bathroom. When it comes to finding room in your house for an extra bathroom, look at any extra rooms or underutilized spaces. Consider other spaces, such as closets or areas under the stairs, too. If you want a half-bath you need at least 18 square feet. If you want a full bath, including a stand-up shower, you need at least 30 square feet. If you want a bathtub, make sure you have at least 35 square feet to work with for a bathroom addition. Bathroom Common Sense Like any project, the cost of adding a bathroom depends largely on the types of addi-

tions and accessories you want to use, and the cost of each of these items. Use the same rule of thumb as a kitchen remodel, a $50,000 bathroom do over in a $200,000 home just does not make sense. Remember a bath in any home must function for the entire family, designing it for your own personal alone is short sighted for both resale and value.

Home Additions

Need More Space

Deciding whether to build a home addition or purchase a new home with more space is a complicated issue, and the answer isn’t going to be the same for everybody. If you have been tepid about your house for a while and now see the need for more space, this may be your chance to start fresh. On the other hand, if you are fond of your house and wanted to retire there if it weren’t for the space constraints, an addition could be a way for you to stay in your home and get the space that you need. Cost Comparisons – More or Less It is typically more affordable to put a home addition into your home rather than purchase another home with the square footage that you require. There are some simple rules to follow. Very small additions often do not return as well as larger additions and garages. The most effective additions for strong value gains represent a 30% or more increase in living space. The most important thing is work with an architect or builder/ remodeler who can design and show you

what your home will be like before and after the project. The Budget – How Much will it Cost The most common mistake made by homeowners is managing cost with home additions. Remember every time you come up with a great new add on it will add on to your cost. Planning is critical before you begin and once you have your plan complete, stay with it to stay on budget. If your refinancing your home for the project a $100,000 addition will ad about $450.00 a month in cost to a 30-year mortgage payment. Your house isn’t just your largest investment, of course, it’s also the place where your family lives.

Home Improvement Contracting:

Nail Everything Down Before You Start! By John Chapman

Consumers spend millions each year on home improvement projects. These projects can be a boost to the overall economy, and particularly to those men and women in construction, painting, plumbing, and other related trades. In many cases home improvement projects also increase the resale value of a home. However, far too often, unsuspecting homeowners are cheated by unscrupulous home improvement contractors, leaving them with unfinished or poorly done work and seemingly no recourse. The Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation registers home improvement contractors as part of the Home Improvement Contractor Law (HIC). The law protects consumers and regulates the practices of home improvement contractors. It estab-

lished a contractor registration requirement, an arbitration program for resolving disputes between homeowners and registered contractors and created a fund of last resort â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Guaranty Fund, to compensate eligible consumers up to $10,000 for unpaid judgments against home improvement contractors. Before you hire a contractor to work on your home, make sure that contractor is registered with our Office. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, and you run into problems with an unregistered contractor, the law precludes your access to our Arbitration Program and the Guaranty Fund. The law also requires written contracts for work estimated at more than $1,000 and applies only to pre-existing, owner-occupied residences containing no more than four units, or to existing structures adjacent to

NEHomeLife.com | Home Show Section | January 2017

the residence, like garages, gazebos, and decks. It does not apply to new construction, rental income property, or vacation homes. Before hiring a contractor, consumers should get references and check the complaint history with our Office. Confirm that the contractor is registered in the same name as the one on the written contract and make sure the contractor has a Construction Supervisor License (CSL) if necessary for the job. It’s important to understand that HIC registration is different from a Construction Supervisor License, which is issued by the state’s Department of Public Safety. You should also check to determine if the work requires a building permit through your city or town. It’s the responsibility of the contractor, not the homeowner, to obtain the permit. If the contractor asks you to obtain the permit, beware! You may not be eligible to access the Guaranty Fund if you obtain the permit on your own. Finally, never pay more than onethird down, unless there are special-order or custom-made materials, and it is reflected in

the contract. A contractor cannot require the final payment until the job is completed to the satisfaction of both parties. Most home improvement contractors are registered and licensed professionals who take pride in their work. For homeowners, knowing the HIC law and following the steps outlined can be the difference between having the home of their dreams and being stuck in a financial nightmare. For more advice on hiring a contractor and information about the HIC Program, visit our website (www.mass. gov/ocabr) or contact us at (617) 973-8787 or (888) 283-3757, toll free in MA only. John Chapman is Undersecretary of the Baker-Polito Administration’s Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation.

Heating Maintenance for Oil Furnaces Due to soot buildup, oil-burning furnaces need more maintenance than gas furnaces, and should be cleaned and checked at least twice during the heating season By Columbus Energies Inc.
