Our home is supposed to be our castle, but it can quickly become our prison. Shoddy workmanship, fraudulent lending practices and home improvement rip-offs can make ownership seem like a liability instead of an asset.
About one in five homeowners say they have had a bad experience with home improvements or repairs. A recent AARP survey found that those with higher incomes ($60,000+) tend to have the most problems, with one-third reporting at least one serious problem. So if things haven't gone right for you, don't be shy, tell us about it.
Finding the right house and the right price in the right location isn't easy but it's something most of us do just a few times in a lifetime. Keeping the place from falling apart is something else again, and making improvements can be even more daunting. Nevertheless, most homeowners at one time or another get the urge to add a room or two, finish the basement or maybe build a deck or a pool. It can be great fun and can do a lot for the resale value. But it can also cause a lot of expense and irritation ... or worse.
