LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) -

A group of Home Depot workers are rolling up their sleeves to help out some of Lubbock's abused and neglected children.

They are volunteering their materials and manpower to remodel an entire kitchen in the Emergency Center at the Children's Home of Lubbock.

President of the home, Lynn Harms, said the kitchen was overdue for a renovation.

"They said, 'We're going to donate all the cabinetry, we're going to bring our own crew in, we'll do the demolition, the installation, we'll do the appliances if appliances need to be replaced," Harms said describing the contribution made by the Home Depot volunteers.

Harms said the building was built 15 years ago and in that time, hundreds of kids have passed through.

"In that 15 years, it has had a lot of high use - wear and tear. They said, 'This is important to us. Can we do this project?'"

Ronnie Clary is the store manager of the Home Depot and was at the forefront of this service project after touring the facility in September.

"When we came in here and saw the kids that are less than toddler-aged, that was really what hit home for me," Clary said.

Clary said their goal is to make it feel as much like a home as possible.

While many West Bloomington homes celebrate their 100th birthday one group is taking action to keep those houses in good shape. The West Bloomington Revitalization Project is now offering support for home restoration projects. The group received a 7,500 grant from the PNC Foundation. The restoration program is designed to help homeowners improve safety, curb appeal, value, as well as energy efficiency. With PNC's financial support the group plans to work with at least 10 homeowners this year.

WBRP Housing Intern Jennfier Long says "It really is a great opportunity. If someone you know is looking for a porch or window replacement they do not always have the resources to do so. They can get help with the purchasing of materials and we can help supply volunteer labor and things like that."

Eligible projects include window repair and glass replacement, exterior painting, porches, steps and railings, gutter and siding repair, fences and gates, and landscaping.Renovation requiring plumbing and electrical work will not be eligible for grants, and WBRP encourages interested home owners to meet with them and discuss their proposed work prior to application.

Old Homes in West Bloomington Have Chance at Revitalization

Now is the time most homeowners think of property improvements. Moreover, most homeowners are looking for the highest rate of return on their investment. According to the 2013 Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report, REALTORS voted exterior projects among the most valuable home improvement ventures.

REALTORS know that curb appeal projects offer great bang for your buck, because a homes exterior is the first thing potential buyers see, says National Association of REALTORS President Gary Thomas. Projects such as siding, window and door replacements can recoup more than 70 percent of their cost at resale. REALTORS know what home features are important to buyers in your area and can provide helpful insights when considering remodeling projects.

REALTORS identified a steel entry door replacement as the home improvement expected to return the most money. In fact, the rate of return is estimated at 85.6 percent of costs recouped at resale. The article information said a steel entry door replacement is the least expensive project in the report at a cost of $1,100 on average.

Exterior replacement projects typically recoup more than 71 percent of costs. The report states, A majority of the top 10 most cost-effective projects nationally in terms of value recouped are exterior projects.

Siding replacement projects landed in the top 10 and include fiber cement siding (79.3 percent of costs), vinyl siding (72.9 percent of costs), and foam backed vinyl (71.8 percent of costs).

Midrange and upscale garage door replacement both are expected to return more than 75 percent of costs.

Why do you think the exterior is important? When that potential Buyer drives up, the house MUST have what we call curb appeal. That very first image is forever etched in that potential Buyers mind! Therefore, the cover of the book MUST express excitement to the potential Buyer!

Nonetheless, the interior absolutely must make an interesting read. According to the report, two remodeling projects in particular can recoup substantial value at resale. Ranked fifth is a minor kitchen remodel. This remodel expects to return 75.4 percent of costs. The national average cost for a project of this type is just under $19,000.

Number two interior remodeling project, also in the top 10, is the attic bedroom. This project came in at number eight and it tied with a vinyl siding project with 72.9 percent of costs recouped. This project adds a bedroom and bathroom, and has an average cost of just under $48,000. Unbelievably, a home office remodel is estimated to return the least at 44 percent.

Mr. Thomas believes a REALTOR is the very best resource for aiding homeowners in the decision as to what remodeling projects will bring the most upon resale for their local market. Thomas says, Each neighborhood is different, and the desirability and resale value of a particular remodeling project varies depending on where you live. When making a home remodeling decision, resale value is just one factor that homeowners should take into consideration. Consult a Realtor to make sure you are making the best decision.
