Remodeling Projects Recouped!

Hello Spring! This is a great time for a remodel. From the National Association of Realtors Cost vs. Value Report here are the top 6 remodeling projects that get the best return in the RI-South, MA area.

1. Entry Door Replacement 85.6% - How easy is that! This is because it creates curl appeal and walking up to a nice entry door creates an instant welcome.

2. Deck Addition 77.3% - Do it early so that you have time to enjoy it before you sell! Doesnt everyone love a deck? A great place to sit out and joy a meal, company with friends and family or quiet time to enjoy the sun and read.

3. Garage Door Replace 75.7% - Again, easy and improve that curb appeal. Especially if the garage doors are visible from the street or when you pull up. It gives the house a nice clean, well-kept feeling to the home.

4. Minor Kitchen Remodel 75.4% - This is what I dream about, and now that I see the numbers I have an excuse too! Just some paint, new hardware and touch ups here and there can make a huge impact on a small budget.

5. Window Replacement 72.9% - This is high in this area for a few reasons. The climate of course, the fact that many homes in this area are older and therefore have older windows, and people becoming more energy conscious. They understand that the windows will help reduce heating and AC costs.

6. Attic Bedroom 72.9% - This surprised me because I didnt think there were that many houses in this area that had attics that could easily be converted to bedrooms. I do know that bedrooms increase the value of any home so this makes sense. If you can walk around in your attic maybe this will get you thinking!
