According to weather.com, our 10 day forecast includes highs in the 40s - can you believe it? After such a rough winter, we couldn't think of anything more refreshing than that! But will it stick? Time will certainly tell.

As the Spring season closes in on us, you might be starting to think about making some improvements to your home. And while each of you might have different plans for how you'll update your humble abode, there are a few ideas that can apply to each individual situation. The following are a few tips that you can use to become a smart remodeler this Spring season:

Use Your Neighborhood As A Guide | When choosing materials and finishes, always take a look at the visual cues that come from other homes in your neighborhood. If you use high-end, expensive products in a low priced neighborhood and vice versa, your resale value likely won't match your expectations.

If You DIY, Do It Right | Even for small scale interior projects, if you plan to DIY, you must be confident that you can complete the job just as good as a professional would. Remember, if you plan to sell your home in the future, potential buyers will inspect every inch of the home from top to bottom.

Do The Math | Before you adjust current space to serve a new purpose, think about if you are actually adding value to your home. For example, if you plan to turn an unused bedroom into a den or a "man cave," realize that you are actually taking away a room that is probably valued more by future buyers.

When going through these tips, one common theme continued to pop out at us - resale. All smart remodelers consider how their actions will impact the resale value of their home, even when they aren't planning to sell! Will you?
