Mercury asked:


Over the years, I have had several Home improvement contractors show up to take measurements for floors, windows, plumbing, etc, but then they never follow through and send an estimate.

Why do you think that is happening? I have money to spend and tried to track themn down for their quote but they gve me the runaround.

I have a 3-bedroom house and I rent out one of the rooms for extra income. I have also invested several thousand dollars in home improvement last year, much of it on repairs to the extra bathroom used by the roommate-tenant.
Does anyone know the rules on reporting the rent obtained from the roommate, and also the deductions I would be allowed on the improvements because of this partial rental space in the house?

My tax preparator said home improvement expenses cannot be claimed but I think she is wrong. I hear many people do it for this purpose.

Family asked:


I see advertisements for federal grants that do not have to be paid back that are for everything from small business funding to home improvements. I was wondering if anyone has ever received a grant for home improvement and how you apply and/or qualify to receive one. Basically, how do I get one to do home improvements and renovations??
