Make Your Home More Valuable
Everyone wants to make their home more valuable. But with the right home improvement projects, you’ll be able to increase the value of your home without spending more than you make. After all, getting a good return on your initial investment is what it’s all about. Use these great ideas for increasing your home’s value and be sure to grow your homes worth and your love for it.
Window Replacement
Old and dated windows can really be an eyesore. Not only do they decrease a home’s value, they all decrease the energy efficiency of your home. This can make energy bills soar during the summer and winter months when heating and cooling needs increase. New windows help to ensure that your homes overall value will increase significantly. You can even increase the value further by installing storm or hurricane windows. These high strength windows can prevent strong winds from breaking during hurricanes and tornado, ensuring even more damages happen. But besides being able to prevent storm damages, they can also help prevent burglary and home invasions. Some storm windows can take impacts of up to 135 Mph or more!
Landscaping
If you need to increase your homes curb appeal to increase its value, nothing beats the price and returns of a professional landscaping job. Landscaping features are a cost effective way to increase the look of your home and property. Even if you own a townhouse, landscaping with window boxes can add the curb appeal your home needs to increase its overall value and make your home look good.
Front Entry Door
Another great way to increase curb appeal is by adding onto the front entryway of your home. This area of the home can increase a home’s value significantly simply because of its visibility throughout the inside and outside of the home. Front entryway doors are a great investment with an even better return. Many front doors can be installed with a window insert, increasing the home’s value as well as the amount of natural light in the door. Add sidelights or a French style double door to your entryway and increase your home’s value even more.
Kitchen Makeover
Nothing brings down home value like a dated kitchen. When appliances, counter-tops and flooring are old and out of date in a kitchen space, you can bet that it’s going to be tough to sell. With the addition of a new counter-top, cabinets, flooring and appliances, you’ll be sure to increase the overall value of your home and get a great return on your investment.
Siding
The exterior of your home can really benefit from new siding. Siding can make your homes outside walls look brand new again. With the addition of a new exterior insulation, your siding project can make up for the costs in no time at all with huge energy savings. And because siding comes in a huge variety of styles, shapes, sizes, colors and materials, you’ll be able to find the perfect siding that fits your homes design to a tee.
