There was a time when being included on a top 10 list meant that people were going to laugh when they found out why.

But *Remodeling* magazine's 31st annual “Cost vs. Value Report” is no laughing matter. It compares the costs of 20 of the most popular remodeling projects in 100 American cities with how much estate professionals believe those projects will improve a home’s value at resale time.

The average payback ranged from a high of 98.3 percent to a low of 47.6 percent. And for the first time, roof replacement cracked the top 10. By all indications, the installation of solar panels cannot be far behind.

Regardless of whether or not you've noticed a draft in your Las Vegas home, installing additional attic insulation can make your home more energy efficient and result in savings. Often times, older homes don't have as much insulation than newer ones, and even recently built homes aren't always properly insulated.

Consider it a wake-up call to weatherize your home – a two-step process that requires applying caulk and weather-stripping to problem spots before First Quality Roofing & Insulation makes your home airtight with insulation. Spring is the ideal time for such a project, before summer arrives and the hot, outdoor air descends on Las Vegas and wreaks havoc with your utility bills.

### [Love Vinegar as a Home Maintenance Cleaner? These Tips Will Make You Love it Even More!](https://info.firstqualityroof.com/blog/vinegar-home-maintenance-cleaner-tips-love-it-even-more)

That spray bottle makes you an easy mark. You may even have multiple bottles: one for your kitchen, one for your bathroom and one “floater” bottle that you tote around your home when you're in [home maintenance](https://info.firstqualityroof.com/blog/topic/home-maintenance) mode.

Let people laugh if they will, but you know: white vinegar is one of nature's most potent cleaners– putting virtually any store-bought (and chemically infested) product to a dirty shame. The acidity in vinegar enables it to cut through dirt, grease, food residue, grime, glue, soap scum and virtually any household stain. It's a world-class glass cleaner, leaving no chalky residue in its wake. And combined with baking soda and a little water, it can assume super-cleaner powers, lifting even red wine and pets' urine stains.

Solar panels make a lot of sense. 

They can save you thousands of dollars a month in energy costs, they might make you eligible to earn a tax credit, and they help protect the environment. 

And that's just a few of the benefits of having solar energy panels installed on your house. 

With such an upside, it's no not a surprise that so many Americans are installing solar energy panels on their homes. But solar energy is still a relatively new technology, which means many might think installation is complicated and beyond their reach. 

It's not.

You may decide to rent your home if you’ve had trouble selling it and need to go ahead and move.

People in the market for a roof replacement spot the reddish-orange material on homes throughout Las Vegas, often topping a bay window.

“What is that awesome-looking roofing material?” they want to know when they call First Quality Roofing & Insulation. We sometimes wish we could reach through the phone line and offer an aspirin, such is the usually startled reaction to our answer: *That's a metal roof, and it's becoming more popular in Las Vegas as people size up the benefits.*

You can, too, as soon as you realize that metal – once the near-exclusive domain of barns and sheds – has made the leap to homes. It makes a fine topper on the Tuscan, Pueblo, Mediterranean, Spanish and Tudor styles that dominate the city's landscape. Metal roofs also outlast other roofing materials, and they are energy efficient and durable, repel outdoor fire and go easy on the environment.
