When it comes to making changes to your home, you’re either doing so out of necessity or out of wanting to make it a more comfortable or usable space. Projects like roof repairs or plumbing upgrades are generally out of necessity while kitchen remodels are done to make the space roomier or more modern. 

For those of you who are planning on selling your house in the foreseeable future, now is a good time to understand not only what needs to be updated before an inspection, but also what upgrades you can do on the house to make it more valuable. Today, we’re going to go over some home improvement projects with a high ROI (return on investment). 

A New Garage Door

When people are considering what projects they should move forward with, a new garage might not be on the top of their list. However, new garage doors are one of the best home improvement projects that provide a high ROI! New garage doors can add safety and security to your home and can also give the exterior of your home a nice look. Consider some doors that have a natural wood finish or something more industrial for a more modern touch. Assess the exterior of your home and choose something that will freshen up the entire aesthetic. 

Manufactured Stone Veneer

The first impression that people are going to have on your house will be based on the exterior, and first impressions are crucial. Consider a manufactured stone veneer addition to the front of your home. Some placement ideas include the lower foundation of your home, around the porch area, or on pillars of your home. Stone veneers provide a timeless look and have an ROI of almost 95%! 

Minor Kitchen Remodel

Kitchens have continued to be one of the most important rooms in a house for decades. And, since the onset of COVID-19 in the country, a roomy and well-equipped kitchen made its way to the top of many home-buyer’s lists as people were stuck at home. When considering a kitchen remodel, you don’t need to break the bank on making improvements since kitchen upgrades are notoriously expensive. In fact, minor kitchen remodels oftentimes have a higher ROI than major ones. Some ways to spruce up the kitchen space without having to spend tens of thousands of dollars include the following:

• Repaint or re-wallpaper the walls
• Update the cabinetry
• Install new stainless steel appliances
• Install new lighting fixtures
• Re-do the countertops
• Adding in a larger pantry

While some of these projects can be done on your own, we suggest hiring a professional home improvement company to help get the job done right and save you time!

Deep Cleaning

One home improvement project that is one of the most important but not always the most obvious is a thorough cleaning of the house. Cleaning and Decluttering goes a long way in making a house look newer. According to tips from top agents, a deep clean can lead to an ROI of nearly 432% and usually costs less than $167.
