Many homeowners are aware that remodeling projects can ultimately add value. Remodeling and home improvement projects can sometimes come with steep price tags, yet they are not merely expenses. They are investments in the overall value of the property. However, some of these investments pay off better than others; some prove to be lucrative while others yield only minor results. In a new statement to the press, Baltimore-based remodeling company Integrity Home Pro reveals some tips for getting the most value out of home improvement projects.
“The first thing to understand is that not all home improvement projects are created equal,” comments Danny Peterson, owner of Integrity Home Pro. “Home office and swimming pool additions can actually cause a property to decrease in value, because too many potential buyers think these features simply are not attractive.”
Peterson points to a few home improvements that are attractive and value-adding. According to a recent article in The Huffington Post, the three most value-adding home improvement projects of 2014—in terms of cost return—were entry door replacement, wooden deck additions, and attic bedroom additions. “I would add window replacement and general home addition and expansion to this list,” comments Peterson.
The Huffington Post goes on to recommend homeowners “seek some local knowledge.” In particular, the article advises homeowners to speak with their neighbors, asking about any home improvements they have invested in. “Ask how they decided on their project and how happy they were with their contractors and appliance/equipment choices,” the article suggests. “Also, ask if their improvements raised their property taxes; in a recovering market, buyers and sellers are watching every penny and tax issues are sensitive.”
Peterson offers further advice. “Always start with a budget,” he notes. “Don’t let your home remodeling dream spiral out of control! Additionally, be proactive in researching home improvement companies. Look for referrals, positive reviews, and customer testimonials—signs of honesty, exemplary craftsmanship, and integrity.”
Integrity Home Pro offers a range of home improvement and remodeling services, including additions, window and door replacement, and more. The company also has referrals, testimonials, and consumer resources available at its website, www.integrityhomepro.com
