FOCUS ON EFFICIENCY,
1
NOT SIZE Try to increase efficiency by properly
utilizing all the available spaces in your
house. Building a big kitchen with lots of
un-utilized spaces is not a good option. Try
replacing your shelves with large cabinets, full
of drawers and racks. This will help you to
utilize the spaces properly and reduce your
cost of expansion. Cost to expand kitchen by 200
sq.ft 48,000 to 95,000 Cost of customdesigned
cabinets 35,000 SAVED Up to 60,000

BRIGHTEN UP YOUR ROOM WITH NATURAL
LIGHT Sunlight is important for our body. It
helps to keep the rooms fresh and free from
germs and moisture. Bringing more natural light
into your dark rooms is thus essential. We often
install highly expensive insulated windows for
our hallways but there are certain inexpensive
options available also. Instead of investing in
a double- pane insulated window you can install
"light tubes" on the roof to channel the
sunshine into the rooms. Cost to add an
insulated window 1,500 Cost for a light tube

TRY RECYCLED
3
BUILDING MATERIALS Renovating your home with
recycled products can save you a ton of money.
Check out the recycled products offered by
Habitat for Humanity at half the prices. Though
many contractors will hesitate to do work with
recycled materials, if you are doing it yourself
then it can be a wise choice. Price of

DONATE YOUR TRASH EARN
4
TAX DEDUCTION Try to donate any trash from your
house while renovating and earn a tax deduction.
As B.J. Perkins, Habitat's ReUse program manager
said "About 85 percent of a house is reusable".
And not only that, you can also collect a tax
credit for donating your trashes to Habitat for
Humanity. Cost to trash a suite of bathroom
fixtures 50 to 75 Cost to donate Nothing,
plus you get a tax deduction SAVED Space in the
landfill (and a little bit of your soul)

DO YOUR OWN DEMO
5
You can try rebuilding something yourself if you
have the knowledge of doing it. It can save you
a few dollars. You can certainly have the idea
of how to demo a deck and so it will be right
choice not to hand over such work to your
contractor. However, be careful if you want to
experiment any interior work yourself as you may
damage any wiring inside the wall or
pressurized plumbing. Cost to demo a 200 sq.ft.

LINK WITH YOUR CONTRACTOR'S SOURCES
6
You can consult with your contractor if he has
any left over stocks from other sites. Some
contractors may help you to gather building
materials in various shapes which were left out
on other work sites. This can help save you a
lot of money for your remodeling. Cost of new
flooring 19,200 Cost to use someone else's
discards 10,500 SAVED 8,700

TRY LIMITING RECESSED
7
LIGHT FIXTURES Recessed lights are costly and the
more you use it for your home, the higher will
be your expenses. Also, there are several other
side expenses like cutting the holes and
insulating them properly. A wall or ceiling
mounted light can be less costly on the other
hand. Cost to install six can lights 900 Cost
to install one surface mounted fixture of equal
wattage 300 SAVED 600
