When you’re thinking about updating your home, it can be hard to know which projects are worth the cost, especially if you want to put your home on the market in the future. As an expert in exterior remodeling, there are four projects that we recommend homeowners consider when trying to increase home value.
Roof Replacement
When you’re trying to decide if it’s worth it to replace your roof, have a contractor come out to your home to inspect it for visible signs of damage. If your shingles are starting to warp or rot, then replacing your roof now will increase your home value. Replacing a newer roof in decent condition, on the other hand, isn’t worth the money.
Siding Replacement
Generally, replacing your siding is one of the highest-value projects you can do. New siding not only gives your home an instant boost in curb appeal but also helps improve your home’s energy efficiency. Choose a low-maintenance material, like vinyl siding, in a neutral color for the most value.
Gutter Replacement
By installing new gutters before listing your home, you’ll give potential buyers peace of mind that they won’t have to worry about flooding or water damage if they buy your home. As a lower-cost project, it’s also a great budget-friendly option with a high-value impact.
Window Replacement
Upgraded windows can instantly make your home more energy-efficient, helping to lower your electricity bill, which is attractive to potential buyers. Beyond that, new windows can also improve the look of your home, giving you added curb appeal which also helps to increase value.
