Every year Remodeling
Magazine produces their Cost vs. Value Report*: http://www.remodeling.hw.net/cost-vs-value/2018/
This is a valuable tool in every
homeowners toolbelt when trying to determine the recaptured costs of updating
and/or remodeling their home for resale value.
Topping the list in the midrange
homes is Insulation. This is often an
area that is totally overlooked, mainly because it is not a cosmetic upgrade
that can be immediately seen. However,
the cost to add insulation, ventilation, radiant barrier, etc. is minimal. You not only see the savings in utility bills
every month, but you typically can recoup the majority if the cost in resale!
We recently added 4 inches of
fiberglass blown in insulation in the attic, added two solar powered attic fans
(which we will be able to use for a tax rebate), added an insulated attic door
cover, and had radiant barrier sprayed on the underside of our roof deck. The total cost was very reasonable, and the
work came with a Lifetime Transferrable Warranty! We used Attic Innovations, whom I would
highly recommend: http://www.atticinnovations.com/
Many other projects, such as bathroom
& kitchen remodels are always high on the list. But a couple other low-cost items (relatively
speaking) that many homeowners fail to recognize as cost vs. value items are
Front Doors and Garage Doors. Replacing
your front door with a high-end fiberglass or steel door adds a dramatic affect
to the curb appeal, as well as a high-end wood looking Garage Door!
