Recession-Proof Remodeling. Owning a home is a great investment, but how do you make improvements when loans are harder to get and paychecks are getting smaller? In tough economic times, many owners neglect their homes in order to save money. Well-timed remodeling will protect your house, while increasing its value and make it more livable. We visit several homes that illustrate forward-thinking improvement strategies and explore a decision-making approach that ensures a practical, appealing and cost-effective project.
