Every house requires a certain amount of
repairs and upkeep to keep it in good shape. But although home repair projects may seem like a financial drain, many of them can actually save you money – either when you do the job yourself or by improving the function and efficiency of your home. If you’re looking to find ways to save money while updating your home, here are a few projects you can try.
Your Las Vegas summer home probably is a refuge and your home away from home, but it's “funny” sometimes how much it can resemble your home base, too.
This is a good thing, especially when it comes to maintenance. After acquiring so much experience in managing and maintaining your primary home, you're smart enough to know you cannot possibly tackle every project at your Las Vegas summer home at the same time. You have to prioritize projects by urgency.
Your air conditioner is probably the most 
complex piece of machinery you own, next to your vehicle. Despite all it high-tech functions, it responds in dramatic style to small but pesky influences: dust and dirt.
In fact, a big buildup of dust and dirt can cause your air conditioner to stage a form of revolt by shutting down. Many Las Vegas home maintenance tasks invariably come down to cleaning and this one is no different. Attack dirt in two ways to keep your air conditioner running smoothly this summer:
For every Las Vegas resident who looks 
forward to summer and the prospect of a green lawn, there is another who dreads the reality of the weeds that follow.
Getting ready to sell your house? You’ve 
probably heard that some proper home staging, like giving walls a fresh coat of paint, fixing obvious flaws and decluttering, can help you appeal to a wider group of buyers and sell your home more quickly. In fact, staged homes sell about 90% more quickly and realize nearly 20% more than un-staged ones. Experts estimate that for every $100 a seller spends in staging, they realize $400. In other words, staging is a small investment with a great return!
We've never said it's an exciting 
home improvement project.
And we've never said it's the type of project you'll take pictures of when it's finished and post on social media sites.
But we have said attic insulation is one of the most cost-effective improvements you can make, with the potential to save you as much as 15 percent on your energy bills.
Attic insulation is usually “out of sight, out of mind,” but it can provide important benefits to help you save money while protecting your home.
In real estate, it's all about location, 
location, location--and the same is true when it comes to choosing the right windows for home.
When buying windows, it's important to consider where your house is located as well as where the windows are located within your house. Both factors can have significant impact on everything from your home's energy efficiency, to comfort and to curbside appeal.
If you're in the market for new windows, take a look at how the location can and should help determine which windows you buy:
You may disinfect your favorite kitchen sponge in a mixture of bleach and water. Or you may run it through a cycle in the dishwasher. If you're in a real hurry, you might dampen a used sponge before zapping it in the microwave.
Owning a home can be expensive at times. Saving money where you can is never a bad thing. But, there is a difference between being frugal and being cheap.
