Q: What home improvements add the most value to my home?
A: All types of home improvements can add value to your home, from major full-kitchen renovations, to replacing cabinet hardware. When looking to get the most bang for your buck, there are a few places you can start.
Internally, refinishing wood floors and updating kitchen countertops are medium-sized projects that add a ton of value to your home. Kitchen updates can range from repainting cabinets to replacing everything, including the moulding. Installing real stone countertops, like from Ceaserstone, is a worthwhile splurge. Your level of renovation may depend on personal taste, and the last time your kitchen was updated. Newly renovated kitchens majorly boost home value (and look great in listing pictures as well).
Exterior improvements are an easy way to boost your curb appeal (and home value). Repainting and installing new exterior doors are great ways to give the outside of your home a facelift. Doors from our high-quality suppliers, like Andersen, bring added protection and security as well.
Adding or upgrading your windows or patio doors can add tons of natural light to your home, making it more appealing to potential buyers (if you want to go the extra mile, Jbros offers skylights). Fiberglass-reinforced windows, like from Marvin, can both save you money by sealing in heat and A/C, and boost your property value with their high quality construction.
Overall, there are tons of improvements from large-scale renovations, to weekend projects, that will add value to your home. When looking for a place to start, focus on making the outside of your home appealing, adding natural light, and updating outdated areas of your home.
