When you’re thinking about updating your home, you likely want to do things to increase your home’s value. Even if you don’t plan to sell in the immediate future, you might decide to sell in a few years, and you want to make as much money back as possible. Here are some home updates that will have you seeing the largest return on investment.

Kitchen

For most homes doing a kitchen remodel, less is more. If you have a $200,000 home and spend $50,000 updating your kitchen, you won’t see much of a return. However, when you do updates in line with the house, you’ll find that you could see as much as a 95% return. 

When doing the kitchen update, don’t simply tear everything out and start from scratch. If the cabinets are in good shape but need a facelift, talk to a cabinet maker about refacing them. If the appliances aren’t too old, give them a good wash and help them shine like they’re new. Don’t spend money on things that don’t need to be replaced. 

Garage Door

Recent surveys with homebuyers have shown that they will offer more for a home that has an updated garage door. If your garage door isn’t working like it’s supposed to, or it’s full of dents, then you should consider replacing it and getting an upgraded model. When choosing your garage door Denton, don’t forget to get a high-quality, quiet garage door opener and a keyless entry keypad. Having those installed with your new door will help you see up to a 100% return on your investment. 

Windows

If the windows in your home are old and no longer keep the warmth in, then you should think about upgrading them. Remember that you don’t need to go with top-of-the-line windows to see a significant return. Buyers will appreciate that they don’t have to deal with installing new windows themselves, so you could see a return of about 95% of your costs when you sell the home.
