What is the Best Investment When It Comes to Exterior Remodeling?

Are you still wondering what to do with your tax refund dollars? Remodeling your home’s exterior can offer many great benefits. It can update the look of the exterior and create more curb appeal. Some updates, such as a new roof or gutters, can help better protect what’s inside the home. Other projects like installing gutter guards simply make life easier with less time spent maintaining the home.

Whatever your reason for completing an exterior remodel, you want to ensure your dollars aren’t wasted. Choosing projects that not only accomplish specific goals but also increase the resale value of the home allows you to get the most bang for your buck.

Using Hanley Wood Media’s 2016 Cost Vs Value Report for the East North Central Region including Chicago, here are notable investments when it comes to exterior remodeling.

You can never go wrong with a siding or roof replacement. While siding wins the battle with a 67.2% ROI, a roof replacement finishes a close second with a 64.7% ROI. Not only do these types of updates add value to the property, they are also crucial to the overall protection of the home.
