Use Your Tax Refund As An Investment Into Your Home
The deadline for filing your taxes is tomorrow. While not the most exciting ‘holiday’ of the year, it’s an important day to remember. Many of those filing taxes will get a refund from the government in 2017 which leads to one very important question, ‘what will you be doing with this unforeseen surplus of money?’
Might I make a suggestion? This is starting to sound a bit sales pitchy. Hear me out because this is more about saving you money than anything else.
Why not invest your refund by spending that money on your home? The key point I’m getting at is that word investing. With investments comes the expectation of additional returns and here’s how you can ‘invest’ with the help of Ayers.
Our main business is dealing with basement water leaks, crawl space encapsulating and insulating, foundation issues, concrete leveling and other problems that homeowners come up against. I recently wrote a blog about how these issues don’t just fix themselves. They get worse, and when they do, they get more expensive to fix. When you invest your return into waterproofing your basement or supporting your foundation now, you save yourself the added expense later on when problems heighten and compound. We have lots of customers who get quotes and then wait to get any work done. A year or two later, they return when the problem is worse and end up having the problem fixed at a higher cost. We want you to avoid the same mistake that these homeowners made to save you the extra money down the road.
Another way that you can invest in your home is through basement finishing. This adds to your appraisal value and you get to enjoy the benefits for as long as you live in the space. Our flooring options are designed to create a thermal break, making the space feel warmer. They look great, they’re comfortable, and are made of inorganic materials that won’t develop mold if they get wet. We have wall covering options that are also mold-resistant and offer a variety of looks and insulation values.
What is the cost of peace of mind? Many of the people who call us, do so in a panic. They have problems and they’re concerned about their home and their possessions. Some say that they worry or dread over every rain storm. What price would you put on the ability to enter every rainfall with confidence that your basement will stay dry?
We offer free estimates at Ayers so if you’re considering any of these options for your home, it never hurts to have us take a look and get you a quote. A lot of people are surprised at how inexpensive some of these improvements can be and our plans can be customized based on your unique set of concerns and/or budget.
If you’ve got a refund check and a decision on your hands, think about investing in your home and your own sense of security by giving us a call.
