Renovations That Add The Most Value 

Where to spend for the best ROI

Thinking about updating your home but not sure where to invest your renovation dollars? I understand. Whether you're planning to sell soon or just want to boost your home's long-term value, choosing the right projects can make all the difference.

Here are some my top renovations that typically offer the best return on investment:

1. Kitchen Refresh

You don’t need a full gut renovation to add value. A minor kitchen remodel—think updated cabinet fronts, modern hardware, fresh paint, new lighting, and energy-efficient appliances—can offer a great return. It’s the heart of the home, right!

2. Bathroom Update

A clean, modern bathroom is a big selling point. Re-grouting tile, replacing dated vanities, installing new fixtures, and updating lighting can go a long way without breaking the bank.

3. Curb Appeal Counts

First impressions matter. Simple upgrades like new landscaping, a freshly painted front door, modern house numbers, and even outdoor lighting can increase your home’s perceived value before a buyer steps inside.

4. Flooring Fixes

Old, worn-out carpet or dated flooring can drag a home down. Replacing it with hardwood or quality laminate can drastically improve the look and feel—and value of your home.

5. Energy-Efficient Upgrades

Today’s buyers are thinking long-term. New windows, improved insulation, or a high-efficiency HVAC system can make your home more attractive and lower utility costs.

Pro Tip:  Avoid overly personalized or high-end luxury upgrades that might not appeal to the average buyer. Aim for clean, functional, and updated—without going overboard.
