Anytime you spend money, you want to make sure you get your money’s worth. That’s true if you are buying a car or planning a home improvement project. The money you invest in a home improvement project will only come back to you as an increased amount for the overall value of your home. Here are some smart home-improvement ideas for solid ROI:
Deck, Patio or Porch Addition
If you were to invest around $11,000 in a pressure-treated wood deck with a simple pattern, then you might discover you can add $10,000 to the value of your home. You can increase that value by adding touches like decorative planters and comfortable patio furniture. Be sure to also keep in mind using that deck or patio in the evening. That means having some soft lighting fixtures strategically placed around the area. It’s also important to make sure any porch railings or steps are secure and not run down. If there is an air-conditioning unit in your backyard, then you might want to camouflage it with a small wooden structure made from the same wood you are using for your deck.
Replace Windows
Prospective buyers notice windows from the outside but might not pay too much attention to them on the inside. They’re more concerned with the view. However, if you were to replace your windows with energy efficient models, then that’s something that you can promote as an amenity of the house. Energy-efficient windows will also immediately start to have a positive impact on your monthly power bills.
Family Room Addition
Any opportunities that you have to add additional rooms to your home is one that should be given serious consideration. These additional rooms can be an extension of an existing room with an open floor plan or an entirely separate closed off room. As long as you are extending the bottom floor, you could also extend the second floor at the same time. That can create two rooms for the price of one.
As you plan out these home-improvement projects want to be smart about your budgeting. It is important to lockdown your plans before construction begins. You don’t want to suddenly change your mind about design in the middle of construction. It will also help to keep cost down if you can take care of something like clean up. That is a perfect reason to hire Junk King Chattanooga. In fact, you’ll probably want to bring in Junk King Chattanooga twice; once on demolition day and then again at the end of the project for final cleanup. Hiring Junk King Chattanooga will ensure that your home improvement project stays clear of construction debris.
