Add Value to Your Home with These 5 Inexpensive Remodeling Projects

bathroom remodel shower miniSpring is the time to partner with your contractor to make your dream home a reality! Investing in home improvement projects requires wisdom and planning, however. Many improvements don’t add value to your home, and some can even detract from the asking price when you decide to sell (think pools and home offices). On the other hand, projects including these can add significant value to your home:

  1. Bathroom mini-remodel. A modern faucet, showerhead, mirror and other bathroom fixtures can update the feel of a whole room. A fresh coat of paint, a mirror to reflect and amplify natural light, and tile or marble flooring can make a small bathroom appear more spacious. Add a low-consumption toilet that uses only 1.6 gallons per flush and you will also enjoy savings on your water bill.
  2. Entry door replacement. According to the Remodeling Magazine 2015 “Cost vs. Value Report,” a steel door replacement averages $1,230 but offers a 101.8% return nationally. That means you could actually make money on this project!
  3. Garage door replacement. While not as lucrative as replacing an entry door, the “Cost vs. Value Report” indicates a mid-range garage door replacement also averages a high return nationally at 88.5%. This seems to indicate that replacements that generate curb appeal, such as a new door or garage door, are important to buyers.
  4. Gutter protection. An important step in protecting your landscaping and home from gutter overflow is a quality gutter protection system. Not to mention, many homebuyers are very attracted by the thought of never having to clean gutters again!
  5. Landscaping. Don’t forget about the area surrounding your house. According to a recent survey of 2,000 brokers conducted by HomeGain, an online real estate marketing site, an investment of $400-500 in landscaping can bring a return of four times that.
