Home Improvement Projects That Pay - Homeowners Investment ...

Which remodel projects will give you the most ?bang? for your buck?

Many U.S. home-owners will take on home remodeling projects this year. From spicing up the kitchen to creating a bathroom that feels more like a spa, upgrades to your most valuable asset can pay off handsomely. With remodels, there is more at stake than improved livability; you could be adding thousands of dollars of value to your home. When done right, much of the money you put into a remodel may return to you when you sell your home.

Some remodels will reap greater benefit than others. According to Remodel Magazine?s?2011-2012 report, adding a bathroom will net you 51% of your original investment at the time of sale while adding a wood deck will recoup 70%.

Other popular remodels include:
? Major kitchen remodel: 66%
? Minor kitchen remodel: 72%
? Bathroom remodel: 62%
? Roofing replacement: 58%
? Vinyl siding replacement: 70%
? Family room addition: 60%
? Attic bedroom remodel: 73%
? Basement Remodel: 67%
? Garage addition: 57%
? Garage Door Replacement: 72%
? Vinyl window replacement: 68%
? Two-Story Addition: 62%

Of course, when it comes to considering a remodel, the most important factor for a homeowner to consider is the added enjoyment and/or functionality of the?finished project. So while a?family room?addition may?not give?you the?highest cost?return, it may be a very worthy project for your family?s lifestyle!
