Remodeling Projects with the Biggest Return

Home improvements can increase home value and make your house feel like a home but they are not all created equal. Learn which remodeling projects will work for you when it comes time to sell.

The Top Three

Replace Your Front Door
The top home improvement, replacing your entry door with an updated, steel exterior door costs only $1,366 but recoups 123% of the cost.

Garage Door Replacement
Another exterior upgrade that offers significant ROI, replacing your garage door runs about $1,756 and offers 110% resale value.

Wood Deck Addition
A much more significant cost outlay at $11,685, adding a wood deck addition provides desirable outdoor living space and recoups 101% of the cost.

Other home improvements that have a respectable return include window replacements (wood) with a 95% ROI, vinyl window replacements at 90.5% return, creating an attic bedroom, which recovers almost 92% of the $60,675 cost and a mid-range bathroom remodel that has an ROI of about 86% of its $19,436 cost.

If you're considering home improvements that are quick, fairly easy and low cost, replacing your front and garage doors give the most bang for your buck. Many other improvements may not offer the same return on investment but can add an increased level of pleasure and enhanced lifestyle while living in your home.
