When you decide to upgrade or improve your home, the thought should be “Will the project increase the value of my home or is this just for the benefit of the family.” There should be an understanding that not all home improvement project costs can be recovered when you sell the property. If you want to do home improvements that will help recover your investment, you might want to consider these improvements. 

Wood Decking

A wood deck will be good use of your back yard and will provide family enjoyment. But it can also add over $10,000 in resale value. 

Stone Veneer Exterior

The average homeowner recovers 96% of the cost of this improvement. Plus it looks great for your curb appeal. 

New Garage Door

This is another great improvement for your curb appeal. Pick a good looking door. It could get you up to 94.5% of your cost recovery on the resale. 

Major Kitchen Remodel

A major overhaul of your kitchen can add up to $40,000 on your resale value. Any kitchen remodel is good for your home value. Even a small improvement will be good for your resale value.
