MISSION,
Kan., May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- (Family
Features) Spring is nature's cue to renew and refresh. Whether
you're looking to add value for potential sale or simply create a
more comfortable living space, you can make the most of the season
and breathe new life into your home with projects that provide a
high return on investment (ROI).
Consider these top home renovation projects to tackle this
spring from the experts at Westlake Royal Building Products – a
leader in innovation, design and production of exterior and
interior building products including siding, trim, mouldings,
roofing, stone, windows, outdoor living and more – based on the
2024 Cost vs. Value Report from "Remodeling Magazine."
Remodel the Kitchen and Bathroom
The average seller
can expect a 96.1% return on a light touch to the kitchen,
according to the report, and 73.7% on a modest bathroom renovation.
Because personal preferences can vary widely among buyers, minor
upgrades can provide a higher ROI than large, upscale remodels. A
few easy ways to refresh your kitchen or bathroom include updating
shelving or adding new hardware. Decorative trim and mouldings are
also cost-effective ways to add visual interest.
Upgrade with Stone Veneer
As natural and textured home
trends continue, homeowners are gravitating toward stone veneer, or
manufactured stone, as it can replicate the look of real stone,
adding comfort, character and beauty to homes. An option like
Versetta Stone from Westlake Royal
Building Products offers the authentic, handcrafted look of stone
in a panelized format that's easy to install with nails and screws.
There's also no need to paint, coat or seal once installed. Ideal
for its ability to add texture and dimension throughout both home
interior (accent walls and fireplaces) and exterior applications
(siding, entryways and walkways), stone veneer – which comes with a
153.2% ROI – can influence mood, emotion and energy levels while
serving as a focal point of your home's design.
Install New Windows
Depending on the harshness of
winter in your area and the age of your home, you may notice
certain windows have developed drafts, allowing cold air to enter
and heat to escape. Replacing drafty or outdated windows with
modern, energy-efficient models is one of the most effective ways
to enhance your home's energy efficiency. Additionally, a vinyl
window replacement brings approximately 67.1% ROI.
Replace Siding
In some cases, applying a fresh coat of
paint is enough to refresh your home. However, if you're looking to
enhance your home's curb appeal while making a long-term impact,
consider installing new siding or replacing existing siding.
Because vinyl siding serves as an additional layer of insulation,
improving the energy efficiency of your heating and cooling
systems, it offers a 80.2% ROI. Weather-resistant, low-maintenance
siding like Celect Cellular Composite Siding, which is now
available in on-trend colors including Imperial Red, a robust shade
of red; Deep Pewter, a compellingly modern forest green; and
Timberland, a rich, natural brown, won't warp, sag or buckle and is
built to withstand even the harshest weather conditions. Its
patented interlocking joints provide a seamless look and it's easy
to install in small spaces, like along a knee or pony wall.
Update Decking
If you want to entertain guests
outside, spring is a perfect time to get your patio or deck ready.
While a new coat of stain can update your existing deck's
appearance and help protect it, spring is also an ideal time to
build a deck if your home doesn't currently have one. When choosing
a decking material, cost and maintenance are two factors to
consider. Composite decking offers a 68.2% ROI and is low
maintenance as it's not susceptible to cracking, warping and
weather damage.
