Remodeling? Exterior Improvements Give More Bang for the Buck

Workman

Exterior improvements give more of a return when remodeling

There is an annual report that examines the cost versus value for home remodeling.  The report is helpful for those who are considering making improvements to their homes, especially if their home is one that they consider selling in the near future.  Historically, bedrooms and bathrooms are where people consider spending their money but the return on the remodel investment is not necessarily there.

According to the 2009 Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report the best return for your money are exterior improvements that often are lower cost projects to begin with.  Adding decks, replacing siding, new doors and windows are among projects that recoup the most money when re-selling a home.  The return on these projects is typically 80% or more.

The annual report shows how important first impressions are.  If you are considering selling your home make sure that the exterior is as eye catching as it can be.

  5. Hi Mario:

    Good Morning. I find your article interesting as I am trydoing an pavilion addition centered in the back side of my home. It is a historic English Cottage. I was not able to add or change the front. I have roofed and framed the addition which is an ope patio at present. My framer left part of the way and moved to a better market (San Diego). Question can you recommend a framer in Phoenix that can finish this one or two day job?
