Exterior Renovations That Will Add the Most Value to Your Home
While an exterior remodel can easily give your home that wow-factor you’ve always wanted, it’s also a great way to elevate its resale value too! However, not all exterior renovations are created equal. Here are the ones that typically offer the best return on your investment.
Replacing Your Roof
Aging roofs can be an everlasting headache, and patch fixes don't always correct the issues.
While a new roof can be expensive, it’s also statistically proven to be one of the top exterior renovation projects to check off your list in terms of value. In fact, a new roof can typically yield a return of 107% of its original cost.
Pretty awesome, right?
Roof projects can also be a daunting task, and it's our goal to make it as stress-free as possible! That’s why we thoughtfully help you decide which materials and accessories are best for your needs (and offer the best bang for your buck).
Head over to this blog post to learn more about what factors you should consider when picking the right roof for your home.
Replacing Old Windows With New Vinyl Ones
Old windows not only look bad and function poorly, but they can also drive up your energy bill due to poor insulation.
Switching out your old windows with new vinyl ones offers many different benefits like:
Easier cleaning
Reducing your heating and cooling costs
Eliminating scraping and painting
Improving our home's appearance
Eliminating drafts and chills
Easier to operate
Reducing outside noise
Increasing security and value of your home
New vinyl windows can give your house an updated look while keeping cool or warm air INSIDE your home. In fact, did you know replacement windows can save you up to 48% on your monthly heating and cooling bills?
Even better? Most homeowners see a 61% return on their original renovation investment.
Here’s the thing you need to understand: the key to gaining the MOST value from this project is making sure your renovation is done right. DIY installations or contractors that cut corners can easily cost you money rather than help you recoup it.
Not only is it important to choose the right materials for your unique needs, but you also want to ensure the company you hire to install them is uncompromising when it comes to quality.
A new window doesn’t do you much good if it frosts on the inside, sticks each time you try to open it, or (heaven forbid) is installed backward...
Add A New Garage Door
Garage doors can truly be an eyesore, especially if they are outdated or in poor shape.
With so many modern styles to choose from, updating your garage door can add a stunning feature to your home (especially if your garage serves as a focal point). It’s also known to offer a decent bang for your buck too with an average return of 95% on your original investment.
Not too shabby!
Add New Vinyl Siding
While we carry a variety of options, our most popular is vinyl siding.
And let us be the first to tell you, there is nothing more satisfying than the before/after transformation of a home that receives new vinyl siding! So long as you have the right contractor to guide you through the process, you’re destined to be blown away by the result.
Did you also know that replacing your siding can also yield a return of 63% of the original project cost? While this is a tremendous perk, here’s the thing you need to keep in mind if you live in the mitten state.
As Michigan homeowners, our houses experience wind, sleet, snow, rain, and heat. That’s why it is important to select durable, long-lasting siding that can withstand these varying weather conditions.
When it comes time to select new siding for your home, there are a few things you should consider:
Is the siding water-resistant?
Will it be upheld throughout the Michigan seasons?
What is the upkeep like and how much maintenance is involved?
Is it aesthetically pleasing, and does it add curb appeal?
Is it energy efficient?
Does it come with any warranties?
We’re proud to offer beautiful, long-lasting residential siding options from the top manufacturers in the field: CertainTeed, Mastic, and Foundry.
All our residential siding options are high-quality, versatile, and virtually maintenance-free. We even offer a 100% Manufacturer Lifetime Warranty and Fade Warranty on all our siding options.
Ultimately, an exterior remodel should help you love your home even more! But if it can also help you add or keep a few extra dollars in your pocket, that’s great too!
