Not all remodeling projects are created equal. Kitchens, bathrooms, family rooms, or master suite add-ons will have the highest return on investment. At the time, Allen said he's still in touch with everyone, but he thought it wouldn't be a good idea to bring Home Improvement back while Last Man Standing was still in operation. So honestly, it's surprising that this is the first time the idea of home improvements coming up again.
I liked how they worked in the commercial transition to home improvement style, where the current scene (this case Baxter's house) deconstructs and collapses. But that wouldn't be very respectful of Patricia Richardson's Jill Taylor, or the characters' children, played by Zachery Ty Bryan, Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Taran Noah Smith, and it wouldn't give fans the family dynamic that made Home Improvement work so well. It is during these periods of increased economic activity and increased demand for real estate that improvements will have the greatest impact on the market value of a home.

Making structural or design improvements, such as adding buildings or finishing raw space, will add value over a longer period of time than, for example, kitchen and bathroom upgrades or technological improvements, such as new air conditioning systems, because the latter tend to become obsolete over time. It was bittersweet for Home Improvement fans to see their favorite handyman back on the small screen, while loyal Last Man Standing viewers were reminded that the prized sitcom is coming to an end. Because mortgage interest is deductible from income taxes, Uncle Sam can help subsidize home improvements, making the cost of construction even less burdensome for homeowners. Viewers were definitely thrilled to see the different ways Last Man Standing referred to Home Improvement, as everything was kind and respectful.
Along the way, Tim invites some of the most skilled manufacturers to his store across the country, tasking them with creating mind-blowing innovations specifically tailored to their needs, because there's always room for improvement.
