HOME IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS THAT PAY

Many U.S. home-owners will take on home remodeling projects this year. From spicing up the kitchen to creating a bathroom that feels more like a spa, upgrades to your most valuable asset can pay off handsomely. With remodels, there is more at stake than improved livability; you could be adding thousands of dollars of value to your home. When done right, much of the money you put into a remodel may return to you when you sell your home. Some remodels will reap greater benefit than others. According to Remodel Magazine’s 2009-1010 report, adding a bathroom will net you 68% of your original investment at the time of sale while adding a wood deck will recoup 91%. Other popular remodels include:

Major kitchen remodel: 84%

Minor kitchen remodel: 95%

Bathroom remodel: 77%

Roofing replacement: 76%

Vinyl siding replacement: 81%

Family room addition: 73%

Attic bedroom remodel: 87%

Vinyl window replacement: 89%
