Ways to Improve the Value of Your Home

Whether you plan on remaining in your home for the rest of your life or are considering placing it on the market at some point down the line, it’s always good to think of ways you can add value to it. There are many benefits of doing so, from being able to sell at a higher price if you move to saving on energy bills and preventing future damage that could be more costly to repair.

If you’re wondering how exactly you can add value to your home—both for now and in the future—you’ve come to the right place. Here some ways to improve the value of your home (all with a little help from a home improvement company you can trust):

1. A Home Window Replacement

Did you know that your house windows have a direct impact on the thermal performance of your home? By having new, high-performance replacement windows installed in their place, you can improve the energy efficiency of your home and possibly even save on your energy bill while you’re at it.

Choosing top-quality replacement windows that are customized to complement the architectural style of your home can also create a boost in curb appeal. This, especially when combined with the overall weather performance of your new windows, can add direct value to your home and act as an enticing factor for potential buyers down the line.

2. New Exterior Doors

Exterior doors that are stylish, strong, and secure are another attractive element to have for potential buyers, making a replacement an easy way to add even further value to your home. From front entry doors to sliding glass doors and other patio door options, a new set can add distinctive detail to your home that improves energy efficiency at the same time.

3. A Siding Installation

Exterior siding that is dingy or damaged can wreak havoc on your home’s curb appeal and decrease its value, which makes a siding replacement another attractive way to improve the value of your home. Choosing a high-quality option from a renowned manufacturer like James Hardie or Cedar Ridge is best for such a project, as buyers will look for these names and likely understand the durability that these products offer.

4. An Outdoor Living Upgrade

Add a unique touch to your home with a new sunroom, deck, pergola, or other outdoor living upgrade. Not only will these add value to your home for yourself—allowing you to get increased use out of the yard area at your home—they also act as an interest point for anyone who might want to purchase your home in the future.

5. A New Bathtub or Shower

While a full bathroom renovation can certainly add a lot of value to a home, it’s a time- and cost-intensive project that is simply out of reach for many homeowners. Thankfully, there’s an effective alternative that can provide results that are in many ways just as desirable: a bathtub/shower replacement or tub-to-shower conversion. A new bathtub or walk-in shower, especially one made of nonporous acrylic, is easier to maintain and improves the appearance of the bathroom.
