Whether you have lived in your home for 30 years or have just purchased a home, there are so many different home improvement projects you can complete that have a huge return for you and your home. When looking to list your home soon or later, giving your home a touch-up will boost its value. If there are a million home improvement projects you wish to complete for your home or you have no idea where to start, here are 5 home improvement projects that pay off.

Kitchen Remodeling

The kitchen is considered the heart of the home. Potential buyers of your home will want to be able to envision themselves in the space and nothing turns buyers away like an outdated kitchen.  Remodeling your kitchen is one of the best returns on investment projects. A major kitchen renovation would bring the most benefit whether it is to add value to your home or just for you or your family to enjoy. Installing new countertops, appliances, and cabinets can really bring a kitchen together.

When remodeling your kitchen, you may want to start small. Replacing the kitchen faucet, adding new kitchen hardware, and replacing old light fixtures are all inexpensive places to start. If replacing the cabinets is out of your budget, considering a fresh coat of paint to give them a new look. These types of small upgrades can improve the overall look of your kitchen.

Bathroom Remodeling

Bathroom upgrades and renovations are a great investment to make to your home. Remodeling the bathroom can be a huge project, and intimidating at first to take on. However, minor and major bathroom renovations pay off when you are ready to sell. Minor upgrades can consist of installing a new mirror, updating the knobs or faucets, and installing new lighting. While these upgrades can be quick and easy, they make a huge difference in the appearance and functionality of your bathroom.

Major bathroom renovations can include completely gutting it and installing a new vanity, new tile flooring, new shower fixtures, and more. Either size of remodel you choose, they will both pay off in the end.

Landscaping

Your homes exterior is the first thing guests and potential buyers will notice. Focusing your efforts on the exterior of your home will increase your curb appeal and value in the long run. We understand that the task of updating your entire landscaping footprint can be intimidating, and you may not be sure where to start. We recommend starting small, a few strategically placed planters and cleaned up flower beds can go a long way.

Another inexpensive option to consider adding a pop of color to your front door. This is a small project that only takes a few hours to complete and can make your home stand out in a big way.

Garage Door Replacement

Another exterior project that can add great value is replacing your garage door. Garage doors are typically on the front of the house and grab a lot of attention for those passing by and people looking to purchase your home. The color and quality are two things on the list you should consider. Of course, how well it functions is another.

Flooring

Lastly, a home improvement that is definitely worth considering is updating your flooring. Flooring is prone to have normal wear and tear from children, pets, and constant foot traffic. The material and look of it is what sets the tone for your home. When considering replacing or repair flooring to get the best return on investment possible, you should consider what will hold up the best and what looks the best. Hardwood flooring is one of the best options for your home due to its durability and price.
