Home renovations can make our abodes more functional and enjoyable to live in. But when it comes to selling or refinancing your home, some projects add more value than others. Before you begin any home improvements, it’s important to know what kind of return on investment you can expect. Here are five of the best home remodeling projects in terms of ROI.


1. New Garage Door

This may surprise you, but upgrading your garage door can have a big impact on your home’s curb appeal. According to Remodeling Magazine’s 2021* Cost Vs. Value Report, a $3,936 investment yields an average return of 93%. So if your door is worn, or has safety, security, or energy-efficiency issues, investing in a new one makes really good sense.

2. Deck Addition 

A deck is a great way to extend your time outside. It’s also a good home remodeling investment. A 16x20-foot deck constructed from composite materials yields an average ROI of 82%. 


3. Bathroom Remodel

Bathroom renovations have always provided homeowners with a solid return on investment. According to the latest CVV Report, you can expect to recoup around 60 to 65%, depending on the scale of your remodel. To get the maximum ROI, stick with a timeless design.


4. Kitchen Remodel

The kitchen is the heart of the home, so any improvements are going to make your space more functional and enjoyable. It’s also a good investment when it comes to selling or refinancing your home. You can expect an average ROI of 51.9% to 59.6%, depending on the size and extent of your renovations.
