Did you know that beginning April 2010, federal law will require contractors that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities and schools, built before 1978 to be certified and follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination?

The answer is "yes"!

1.  For the first time in a long time, good contractors are readily available and are aggressively working with homeowners to keep labor costs down.

2.  Materials are also coming down in price, especially for larger luxury items.

3.  Also, investing in your present home with a big remodeling job or addition can give you the house you've  always wanted without the hassle of moving.

So, if you like your neighborhood, have the room to expand, and have some cash on hand, I say go for the new master bath you've been dreaming of!
