You have balance aesthetic and practical use. I recommend that you touch on both, the first is energy efficiency and the simplest way to reduce your energy consumption is to change all your lighting to LED this will be a great low cost solution to start with.Second curb appeal is important to maintaining your home a garage door will enhance the front of your house and is not a substantial expense. the last is having space your your personal enjoyment and outdoor use so a patio cover will really enhance your outdoor space and it cover both practical use and aesthetics.

  1. Efficient HVAC System. An inefficient HVAC system will cause many problems in a home including bad air quality which leads to sickness.

  2. Good Roof - A no-hassle roof is always ideal, especially in those states which have longer winters. Leaks can be a big headache.

  3. Solar - Solar provides extra insulation in the summer and provides a low utility bill which is ideal for most people on fixed incomes.
