Now that warm weather is here, a lot of people are starting to think about those home improvement projects they put off last year. Maybe you need a new roof, are thinking about adding a backyard deck, want to do a kitchen remodel or just paint the living room. No matter what the job, the time to start making plans is now. Home improvement stores eager to draw in do-it-yourselfers will soon start offering deep discounts, so it pays to have a shopping list ready.
Among the items that almost always go on sale at the big box stores in the spring are kits to build storage sheds, roofing tiles, deck boards, wood flooring, hardware, paint and tools. Early in the season, it's not uncommon for the high ticket items to go on sale for hundreds of dollars less than their normal retail price. So even if you're planning to hire a contractor to do the job for you, you'd be wise to stock up on supplies early.
Speaking of contractors, if you are planning to hire one, now is the time to do it. Many have had long, slow winters and are eager to get back to work so they will be offering competitive prices too.
From April 1st through June 30th, Discover Card is offering its customers a 5% Cashback Bonus on all home improvement related expenses charged to the card. To take advantage of the discount, click here.
The discount is good at Lowe's, Ace Hardware, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Sears and JCPenney, just to name a few of the participating stores.
