Renovation ROI: Which Home Improvements Add the Most Value?

Renovating your home is an exciting opportunity to enhance your living space, update outdated features, and increase your property’s value. But with so many possible projects, it’s natural to wonder: Which home improvements offer the best return on investment (ROI)?

At Complete Quality Contracting, we believe in helping homeowners make smart renovation choices that not only improve their homes but also provide lasting value. Here’s a guide to the most valuable home improvements, so you can plan your renovation with confidence.

What is ROI in Home Renovations?

Return on Investment (ROI) measures how much value a renovation adds to your home compared to the cost of the project. A high ROI means you recoup most or all of your expenses when selling your home, while also enjoying the upgrade during ownership.

Top Home Improvements with High ROI

1. Kitchen Remodels

ROI: Approximately 60% - 80%

The kitchen is often called the heart of the home, and it’s no surprise that kitchen remodels consistently rank high in ROI. Upgrading cabinets, countertops, appliances, and lighting can dramatically boost both functionality and appeal.

• Complete Quality Contracting Advantage: We offer custom cabinetry, modern designs, and quality craftsmanship to transform your kitchen into a stylish and efficient space.

2. Bathroom Renovations

ROI: Around 60% - 70%

Updated bathrooms with new fixtures, tile work, and improved lighting can make a big impression on buyers. Even smaller upgrades like replacing vanities or adding energy-efficient faucets can add value.

• Complete Quality Contracting Advantage: We specialize in creating bathrooms that blend luxury with practicality, from tub and shower upgrades to complete remodels.

3. Adding a Home Addition

ROI: Typically 50% - 70%

Adding square footage—like an extra bedroom, sunroom, or family room—can greatly increase your home’s market value, especially if it addresses your family’s needs.

• Complete Quality Contracting Advantage: Our expert team designs additions that integrate seamlessly with your existing home and meet local building codes.

4. Exterior Improvements

ROI: 50% - 70%

First impressions matter. Projects like new siding, fresh paint, landscaping, or a modern front door can boost curb appeal and attract buyers.

• Complete Quality Contracting Advantage: We handle all exterior renovations with attention to detail and quality materials that stand up to the elements.

5. Energy-Efficient Upgrades

ROI: 50% - 75%

Investing in insulation, windows, and HVAC systems can lower utility bills and make your home more attractive to eco-conscious buyers.

• Complete Quality Contracting Advantage: We recommend and install energy-efficient solutions tailored to your climate and home.

Renovations with Lower ROI (But High Enjoyment)

• Luxury upgrades like high-end pools or custom wine cellars often have lower ROI but provide personal enjoyment.

• Over-customizing to very niche tastes may limit future resale appeal.

How to Maximize ROI on Your Renovation

• Work with Experienced Contractors: Proper planning and expert craftsmanship reduce costly mistakes.

• Keep It Neutral: Choose timeless styles and colors to appeal to a wider audience.

• Focus on Functionality: Practical improvements often attract more buyers.

• Don’t Over-Improve: Match upgrades to neighborhood standards to avoid overspending.
