Home Renovations that Increase Your Home’s Value

Will my home renovation increase the value of my home? When it comes time to sell my home, how do I recalculate the value of my home? 

These are both great questions and ones that the Old School Craftsman team commonly hears. 

The answer depends on your specific situation. For example, how well the fundamentals of your home have been taken care of (issues like cracked foundations or rotting wood beams are a problem), or the location of your home. But for the vast majority, yes, quality renovations will translate to a higher return when it comes time to sell.

These Four Home Renovations Bring Back the Most Value 

Home renovation is an investment. You want to see your investment pay off when it comes time to sell.  

The best part is that not only is home renovation an investment that pays off down the line, but you get to enjoy your home’s upgrades for the remaining years that you stay in your home.  

Let’s look at four home renovations that will bring back the most value when it comes time to sell.  

Kitchen Remodel 

One of the most popular requests Old School Craftsman receives, there is a good reason so many homeowners choose to upgrade their kitchens.  

A modern, updated kitchen can make a big impact on potential buyers and can increase the value of a home. 

When planning a kitchen remodel, it's important to consider the overall design and layout of the space. Upgrading to modern appliances, adding more storage, and choosing durable and attractive countertops and flooring can make the kitchen more functional and appealing. 

Another important aspect to consider is the kitchen's color scheme, lighting, and ventilation. A good kitchen remodel will often involve making the space more open and airier by adding windows or skylights, and by using light colors on the walls and cabinetry.

Bathroom Remodel 

Another popular request, a bathroom remodel is another home renovation that can bring significant value when it comes time to sell. Like kitchen remodels, updating bathrooms can make a big impact on potential buyers. 

When planning a bathroom remodel, layout is hugely important. Upgrading to modern fixtures, adding more storage, and choosing durable and attractive countertops, flooring, and tiles can make the bathroom more functional and appealing.
 

Add Another Bedroom 

One of the best ways to increase your home's value is by adding another bedroom. This goes double if you live in a particularly high-demand area. Adding a bedroom can also make a home more attractive to a wider range of buyers, including families or those who work from home and need an extra room for an office or a guest room. 

It's crucial to ensure that the new bedroom meets the building codes and has appropriate egress (means of escape in case of emergency) such as a window or a door that leads to the outside. You should also make sure that it has enough natural light and adequate ventilation. 

Finish Your Basement 

Finishing a basement can add valuable living space to a home and can also recoup a significant portion of the costs when it comes time to sell. A finished basement can be used as an additional living room, a home office, a playroom, a home gym, or even an extra bedroom. 

Another important aspect to consider is the plumbing and electrical systems. If the basement is going to be used as a bedroom, a bathroom, or a kitchenette, additional plumbing and electrical work will be required.
