10 Ways to Increase the Value of Your Home!

7/21/2014

1 Comment

 
According to Bankrate.com, you can increase the value of your home with the following home improvements: 
Picture
1) A big, updated kitchen (preferably open to another room) with lots of work space, solid surface counter tops, high-quality flooring and cabinetry that is in good condition.
​  
The kitchen is the most important room in the home since this is where we spend so much tim
e.

2) Modern bathrooms including a master bath with whirlpool tub, double sinks, separate toilet room and separate shower stall with steam and/or multiple jets shower head. 
​
 An out-of-date bathroom can be a make-or-break point when it comes to selling your home.   

3) A spacious master suite with master bath as described above, his & her walk-in closets and room for lounging.
4) Natural materials including hardwood, granite, stone, ceramic tile are “in”. Wall-to-wall carpet is “out” unless it is very high-quality. "Green" materials are a huge plus-point. 
5) An overall feeling of space and light is vital.  
Adding skylights, removing walls, adding windows are all things that can create the feeling of airiness and life-giving light that people are drawn to.
6) Curb appeal can increase the value of a home by up to 10%.  Cosmetic repairs and improvements to create a great first impression are well worth the investment.
A new paint job, stone facing, a new garage door, outdoor lawn lighting, etc. can all contribute to make your home look extraordinary.
7) Good windows, preferably insulated, energy efficient ones, are important.  The size and placement of the windows is critical.  Windows, depending on their exposure, can make a big difference in the way the sun and other weather factors affect the energy usage of the home.
8) Landscaping can get overlooked by the homeowner trying to improve the value of his home but it is a vital factor.  
You can totally upgrade the overall appearance of your home by adding color, texture and interesting masses with local plants that are easy to maintain.
9) Lots of storage is a big plus.  
In many homes, there is wasted space that can be easily converted into storage space.
Look at your home with a "fresh eye" to find places you could add storage, like under the stairs.
Where are you storing things now?  Could that space be turned into a walk-in closet?
10) A basement (must be dry), especially if it’s been converted to additional living space is a big plus.
Rocha Construction can help you with all of these home improvement projects.  

Gilbert will be happy to come out and help you decide what would be the best way to add value to your home.
