There are many reasons why we renovate our homes. One of the top reasons is to get a high ROI— increase the home resale value if and when you decide to resell it. For those who haven’t settled on the reselling part, our main focus is to live comfortably and efficiently. Life away from home is hard already, but wait until your house is out of shape and you can’t get anything done seamlessly. Things can start getting to your head real quick, and no one wants that. Therefore, if you’ve got an upcoming home update project, these are the 5 most important upgrades you should prioritize to give your home the most value:
- Minor Kitchen Renovations
- Vinyl Window Installation or Replacement
- Minor Bathroom Remodel
- Landscaping
- Minor Basement and Attic Remodel
1. Minor Kitchen Renovations
The kitchen is among the most used space in a house set up, and families spend a lot of time there. A kitchen upgrade is sure to brighten up everyone’s mood and increase the home value somehow. Minor kitchen remodels allow you to upgrade your kitchen’s form and function without spending tons of cash. You can start by refurbishing your worn-out kitchen cabinet hardware, but if the budget allows, get new ones. You can also brighten your kitchen atmosphere by adding a new coat of paint. Another vital kitchen upgrade is replacing old failing appliances with new high-efficiency models.
2. Vinyl Window and Door Installation or Replacement
Vinyl Windows have become a popular choice for many homeowners. They are classy, cost-effective, modern, and require minimal maintenance. High-quality vinyl windows can last for over 20 years, saving you replacement costs. Vinyl windows have energy-efficient insulation hence cutting the cost of energy bills. In general, Vinyl windows are a valuable addition to your home upgrade.
3. Minor Bathroom Remodel
Bathrooms easily succumb to degrading problems like rot, decay, and mildew due to constant exposure to moisture and humidity. A minor bathroom upgrade would eliminate these issues and give your home an overall increase in value. Minor bathroom remodeling CT involves tub repair or replacement, drainage repair, tile repair or replacement, quick fixtures, lighting repair/replacement, and you can wind up with a fresh coat of gloss or paint.
4. Landscaping
Your home’s interior is as important as the exterior. That’s why you should never neglect your home landscape on any home renovation project. Landscaping helps recover or upgrade your home’s curb appeal of both the front and back yard. You can start by trimming the lines, cutting the grass, trimming and repairing the fence, etc.
5. Minor Basement and Attic Remodel
Most homes are fortunate enough to have an attic or a basement. Usually, these are used as extra storage space and therefore neglected when upgrading your home. But there’s much more you can do with your attic or basement, i.e., converting into an extra bedroom or library. Stop being so regular; you can stretch your imagination and do whatever you want with these spaces. Try repainting, adding shelves and better lighting to your attic or basement, and witness a magical transformation.
