You should never undervalue the benefits that a top quality door can offer. Whoever visits you home will see your door first and again as they leave. You can lose tons of heat through uninsulated, poorly fitting doors. Doors that are poorly constructed and have low quality hardware present a security risk.

If you are improving your landscaping, discuss drainage with your neighbors prior to beginning the project. A good thing to do is to drain the water from your land. It's usually convenient to dump it at a neighbor's property, however, they probably won't like that. You can work something out that benefits you both if you talk about it in advance.
  
If you've got space constraints, you can look into adding some more living area. Consider a playroom, den or living room. Not only will this make your home more comfortable and livable, it'll increase its resale value, too. This should be one of the first home improvement projects you do.

The caning in many chairs will sag eventually. You can restore the caning to like new by using this trick. Wet a sponge and apply it to the bottom of the caning that's sagging. It works best with warm water. Leave the caning alone overnight to let it dry out. Keep doing this until you completely fix the caning.

You must have a drill if you are doing home improvements. You can have special attachment for different types of screws, and you can pre-drill holes in surfaces. You should have a 9-volt cordless, battery-powered drill and some 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, and 1/4" drill bits. Get attachments that can drive Phillips and flathead screws, too.
  
 
You can easily make your bathroom look newer by replacing your faucets. Most people are not aware of the fact that changing a bathroom faucet really does not require a professional plumber.

If you're planning a major kitchen remodel, you should be sure to put together a makeshift kitchen. You may not have a real kitchen for a few weeks, therefore it is wise to have a fridge and a microwave someplace in order to prepare your food.

Use old baby food glass jars to help organize your work area. Superglue or screw the lids of the jars to the underside of a wall shelf. Insert small items into the jars, such as: beads, jewelry parts, screws or nails. Arrange the jars under the shelf. This helps take full advantage of a wall shelf and small jars you didn't think you would ever need.

Use granite tile instead of a granite slab. Granite slab can cost you thousands. You can cover the same area with good quality granite tiles that only cost a few hundred dollars and achieve an equally striking effect. In addition, you can use the money you have saved on other projects.
  
When you begin a home improvement task, don't underestimate that task. Even make estimates when you aren't quite clear on costs, but realize costs are often more than you think. The more preparation you do at the beginning, the better equipped you will be to handle any issues that arise.

If you own a deck, try checking how resistant it is to water. Simply pour a bit of water onto the deck after it's been dry and sunny for a few days. If your wood is soaking up the liquid, it needs an application of water repellent. Be sure that your deck is sealed prior to winter in order to keep it from getting long-term damage.
  
If you have noticed your roof leaking, you need to check common culprits like chimneys, skylights and low spots. After that you should check out your gutters. In many cases, leaky roofs are caused by damaged gutters, as the water that should run through the gutters runs straight down your home's exterior.

Not only is a bathroom renovation a tiny area, you should consider a smaller budget. It doesn't really take much to make a big difference to the appearance of a bathroom. Replacing small items such as light fixtures, mirrors, toilet paper holders and towel bars can have a great impact.
