Recently in this space, we went over some of the home remodeling project types that we might recommend against if your primary goal is increasing home value and experiencing a strong return on investment (ROI). While homeowners are of course free to perform any home remodels or upgrades they prefer, those looking primarily at home value should generally avoid those areas.
At Uintah Fireplace and Design, we’re proud to offer a wide variety of home remodeling services, from kitchen remodeling to bathrooms, outdoor areas and even basement finishing. In today’s blog, we’ll look at the opposing side of this coin: Here are several remodeling types that are known to provide high ROI and increase your home’s value if you’re thinking about selling in the near future.
Kitchen Upgrades
The kitchen is the foundation of many homes, and it’s also the area that tends to provide the best return on your investment when it comes to home value. Prospective buyers naturally gravitate toward kitchens first and foremost, and will place high value on recently upgraded spaces, modern accessories and similar elements.
In addition, many kitchen remodeling upgrades can be performed for extremely affordable costs. Adding a new faucet or light fixture to upgrade the aesthetics is not an expensive job, and neither is adding a new coat of paint or removing any previous imperfections.
Bathroom Remodel
The other room that tends to return the highest value in a remodel is the bathroom, particularly any master bathroom spaces in the home. Bathrooms are the practical center of the home for many people, so ensuring they have upgraded hardware, water-conserving elements and the kind of clean, shiny appearance everyone wants to see will go a long way. Not only do you get to experience the benefits of a new bathroom in the immediate term, you’re upping your ROI in a big way.
Front Entryway
If your home’s entryway is a bit outdated or wearing down, strongly consider remodeling it in simple ways like new paint, new door accessories or similar elements. Another great option here is a new finish, which doesn’t cost much but will present anyone who enters the home with an immediately positive first impression.
Room Additions
Finally, there are many ways you can consider adding to or expanding your current room selection. One great option is to take an unused room like a den or office, then use a wire and laminate closet system to turn this into a bedroom. Instead of listing three bedrooms on a potential sale sheet, now you can list four and see the related rise in home value.
