Before you tackle a home improvement project, be sure it's adding value to your home. Here are three updates that may give your home value a measurable boost:
1. Garage door replacement. New garage doors come equipped with better insulation and higher-strength steel, making for fewer dings and dents. At an average cost of $3,611 and a resale value of $3,520, new garage doors recoup 97.5% of their cost.
2. Manufactured stone veneer. By replacing the bottom third of your street-facing façade with some manufactured stone, you’ll instantly boost the curb appeal of your home. At an average cost of $8,907 and a resale value of $8,449, this upgrade recoups 94.9% of its cost.
3. Minor kitchen remodel. No need to gut your kitchen here, instead freshen things up with new cabinet doors, new countertops, and new, energy-efficient appliances. As kitchen remodels go, an average cost of $22,507 isn’t a bad investment that recoups 80.5% of its cost.
