Kartika

Langley Township is considering renovating Aldergrove Community Station House, home of Langley Meals on Wheels.

During its meeting Monday, December 12, the council voted to submit a list of potential renovations to this year’s city budget process. The board must decide which items, if any, to get funding this year.

Councilor Barb Martens noted that Station House, formerly Aldergrove fire hall, remains the property of the Township, and is a heritage building, but is in need of upgrades and repairs.

For example, the second floor can be used for gatherings and gatherings, but can only be accessed by stairs.

Municipal staff will be looking at a number of possible changes to the building, including lifts, changes to parking, the creation of a new outdoor plaza and seating area on 272nd Street in front, as well as upgrades to the electrical, air conditioning and heating systems.

The demand for partial home renovation is on a rise as South Korean families opt for a more affordable approach to transforming houses amid rising raw material prices and labor costs.

According to industry sources on Monday, demand for partial remodeling projects has gone up for their convenience and lower cost.

Partial renovation allows families to choose the areas they want to transform without the need to move out. The simpler home face-lift costs less than renovating the whole space in the house, with a shorter period, which takes one to 3 days.

Korea’s largest furniture and home furnishing company Hanssem Co. said that sales from sliding door construction contracts rose 10 percent between April and May from a year ago.

A sliding door at the entrance, a popular solution to partial home remodeling, costs an average of 1 million won ($764) for installation. Surveys

Maybe you’ve decided it’s time to install a new carpet in your home, especially after years of pets and toddlers have taken a toll on your floors. If you choose Costco to help you complete this project, they will contract with a selection of third parties, such as Shaw Flooring, to send a representative to measure your space. This initial step is the first way that Costco will save you money on your project. The flooring representative will provide a professional in-home consultation for free, completing a professional measurement as well as providing a number of flooring samples to consider in your home.

It’s no secret that home renovations involve a lot of time — and a lot of money. Whether you’re dreaming of a new kitchen or want to remodel your bathroom, experts agree you will need to conduct thorough research on the extent of the project and the cost, as it will probably take a good chunk of money out of your savings.

Indeed, homeowners are spending a lot on home maintenance. A new GOBankingRates survey found that almost 20% of respondents spent more than $7,000 last year on home renovations, with 12% spending $7,001 to $10,000 and 8% spending more than $10,000.

“That’s not the answer most people want to hear, but you have to really do a comprehensive and realistic research, including not just the cost to do the work and the materials but also any permits, inspections and other administrative costs that can get very pricey, ”

What expenses can you deduct when renovating a rental property?

Kartika

Rental property owners can typically deduct property taxes, insurance, interest, condo fees, repairs, utilities and other related costs. A rental property can even run at a loss allowing the taxpayer to claim deductions against their other sources of income.

Rental properties: Current vs capital expenses

There is a distinction between repairs and renovations for a rental property, Shawn. Repairs are referred to as current expenses, meaning they are deductible in the year incurred. Renovations are capital expenses that cannot be deducted immediately but can reduce your capital gain upon sale.

According to the Canada Revenue Agency:

A current expense is one that generally recurs after a short period. For example, the cost of painting the exterior of a wooden property is a current expense.

A capital expense generally gives a lasting benefit or advantage. For example, the cost of putting vinyl siding on the exterior walls of a wooden property

Historic Home Renovation: 6 Tips to Know Before You Begin

Kartika

In order to know exactly what she’s working with, New York designer and AD PRO Directory member Elena Frampton makes it a rule to thoroughly scrutinize all the built elements, from floor to ceiling, and all architectural details in between. “Leave no stone unturned when it comes to kitchens and baths,” says Frampton. “It’s always worth looking into what lies underneath. Is there wood under the carpet? Do the fireplaces work? Is there enough power for contemporary systems?” Unanswered questions now can turn into emergency projects later.

The centerpiece of this prewar duplex is a double-height grand salon, which Frampton Co emphasized by adding a chandelier and mirrors flanking the fireplace.
