1. Faucets, Fixtures and Pipes - Repair or Replace

Estimated cost in the Brick area: $295

Task description from HomeAdvisor: "Like anything else in your home that experiences regular use, your faucets and pipes require occasional maintenance. Fortunately, most sink related upkeep is easily accomplished with a quick DIY investment. But, occasionally an issue will arise that may require the expertise of a professional."

Estimated cost in the Brick area: $2,000

Task description from HomeAdvisor: "The best landscape designs are the ones that have been carefully thought out with attention paid to the details. Before planning a landscape it is important to decide what style would best fit your home and lifestyle. Whether you want to transform your property or simply make sure it stays in good shape, you can benefit from working with a landscaper."

Estimated cost in the Brick area: $250

Task description from HomeAdvisor: "Electrical safety is an important part of responsible homeownership. It requires that you always follow the proper procedures when working with electrical outlets and wiring. Remember, electricity can be deadly. If you’re not experienced in this work, it’s always best to call in a licensed electrician to perform repairs or improvements."

Estimated cost in the Brick area: $179

Task description from HomeAdvisor: "The sheer number of appliances in a home means that sooner or later one will go on the fritz. And it could happen at the worst possible time—the oven going out right before the holidays, for example. With more than 8 million appliance repairs happening each year, appliance repairpersons are in high demand, so it pays to have a few reputable ones to call."

Estimated cost in the Brick area: $300

Task description from HomeAdvisor: "The first thing to remember with any lawn is that it’s a living, breathing entity. Even the simplest, easy-to-care for yard will need watering, feeding, cleaning, and disease prevention; especially as the seasons change! Indeed, landscape maintenance is much more involved than the average homeowner believes. Mowing, mulching, and weeding are frequently done but rarely done right. When you get a professional’s opinion, you can rest assured that common errors will be minimized, leaving your garden with a better chance of thriving."

Estimated cost in the Brick area: $70

Task description from HomeAdvisor: "All you have to do to obtain a lush, green, and beautiful lawn that is the envy of all your neighbors is to keep it trimmed and water it on a regular basis, right? Unfortunately, it isn’t that easy. Good upkeep and maintenance is crucial to keeping your lawn looking healthy throughout the year."

Estimated cost in the Brick area: $8,400

Task description from HomeAdvisor: "Asphalt shingle roofing is one of the most durable and cost effective roofing materials on the market. Furthermore, because it is so easy and quick to install (an average size asphalt shingle roof can be torn down and re-roofed by an experienced crew in a few days), choosing asphalt shingle roofing over other materials also significantly reduces the labor costs of roofing installation."

Whether you decide to go with one, or all, of these projects, one thing's for sure, any investment to your home will pay off in strides. Regular upkeep and maintenance adds value and helps you feel more comfortable in your space, especially as we continue working from home.
