The nice thing about outdoor spaces is that there is a project to match every budget. You may want to opt for a simple and functional design, or you may want to go all out with a luxurious outdoor kitchen and dining area.

5. Energy-Efficient Upgrades

|
Nothing increases a home’s value, like decreasing the cost required to run it. Upgrading your windows, adding insulation, and installing a new HVAC system can all make a big difference in your energy bills and your home’s comfort. Solar panels will not make your home more efficient, but they are a great way to decrease energy costs.

Whether you opt for a finished basement or a new addition, adding more space to your home can make it more functional and appealing to potential buyers. With additions, it’s all about what you need and complements your home’s style and proportions. If you have young children, you may want to consider adding a family room or playroom. If you’re empty nesters, you may want to create a luxurious master suite or a home office.

The front entrance creates the first impression of your home, and changes in this area can boost a home’s overall value. Adding a new front door or a fresh coat of paint to your existing door, updating the light fixtures, and adding planters can create a fresh, welcoming look to your home. More expensive changes, such as adding siding or new trim, repainting the whole house, and redoing the landscaping, may be worth the expense if your home is outdated relative to other houses in your area.
Whether you are considering a kitchen renovation, bathroom upgrade, or outdoor living space changes, there are a variety of ways to increase the value of your property. Contact us today to schedule a consultation, and we can help you weigh the cost/benefit of the projects you want to undertake.
