Home Improvements With the Best Return on Investment

Home Improvements with The Best Return on Investment

One of the many benefits of purchasing a home is that its value is likely to appreciate over time. When it comes time to sell the property, there’s a good chance you will receive more than what you paid for it. An excellent way to maximize the return on your investment is by undertaking the right home improvement projects.

Here are a few examples of home improvement projects with the best return on investment:

  • Decks – Wooden decks rank among the best home improvement projects — especially when the economy is doing well. A well-constructed wooden deck will increase your home’s appeal to many prospective buyers here in Florida when homeowners can enjoy the deck throughout the year.
  • Finished attics – An attic can be so much more than a place to store your extra household items. Transforming an attic into a bedroom or family room can solve the space needs of a growing family — without having to build an addition. You may also be able to recoup as much as 75-80 percent of this home improvement project’s cost when you sell your house.
  • Entry door – A new fiberglass or steel entry door can significantly enhance your home’s curb appeal and will also help to make the house safer and more energy efficient. From an investment perspective, a new front door is one of the few home improvements that allow homeowners to get back more than what they spent for it at resale.
  • Replacement windows – Both vinyl and wooden replacement windows will provide a substantial return on their cost at resale, with the latter offering slightly higher value. Besides enhancing a home’s appearance and increasing its sale price, replacement windows appeal to energy- and environmentally-conscious buyers seeking to minimize their carbon footprint.
  • Siding – Installing fiber-cement siding has become a popular home improvement project option because it looks like wood or masonry — but it wears like concrete, making it an excellent for homes built in harsh climates. This characteristic offers tremendous appeal to prospective buyers and can thereby provide a solid return on your investment. Vinyl siding can also help you recoup a good portion of your cost, although not quite as much as its fiber cement counterpart.
  • Garage door replacement – When you replace a garage door, you’re making a significant improvement to up to 30 percent of your home’s exterior area — it will be one of the first things prospective buyers notice as they approach or drive by your house. The right garage door will make your home more attractive and provide a return of anywhere between 82 to 88 percent on your investment.

    The best! They came out and repaired my garage door within 3 hours of calling them, with parts and labor I was charged... $55! Same day service and totally reasonable fee! When does that ever happen? For once, the unforeseen stumbling blocks that life throws in ones path that usually turns into disaster, stress and a huge financial hit; thanks to The Doorman, turned into an insignificant bump in the road.read more

    Had a broken spring in my large garage door. Called these guys, who quoted me $400 to $500. When the technician... showed up he said it would be $1300. I sent him away, and called the well known guys from Pompano who fixed it (replaced both springs) for $550.read more

Joanne in the office is a doll and Julio the tech was friendly, knowledgeable and fast with the repair. Highly recommend for any garage door needs.read more

    The absolute best. They came out on a Saturday and were able to fix my garage door in less time than it took for me to... tell my neighbor what was wrong with it when she saw them working on it. Fixed the problem, programmed a new remote, and fixed the outside keypad all for less than the other companies wanted just to show up to and give an estimate. I can't say enough good things about these guys. They are reliable, more than fair priced, and warranty their work for a year. 100000% would refer them to all of my clients, neighbors, and friends. Thank you to Julio and Eric!!read more

    My garage door spring snapped this morning and I called the Doorman and spoke with Jim the owner who was very nice and... able to send someone out within 30 minutes of me calling. Eric came out gave me a quick estimate, had what he needed on the truck and had my springs replaced and door back up and running within about 30 minutes. He also made a few minor tweaks to my door to ensure it’s running great. Amazing company with fair and honest pricing. I highly recommend them and would definitely use them again. Thanks Eric!read more

    I did my homework and found The Doorman to replace my old garage door with a hurricane proof new one. They promptly... replied to my emails and explained the details, which were many, and came out for an estimate which was reasonable as compared to other bigger vendors. Jim and Keith did not try to oversell me and helped me choose the best door in my budget. They custom built my door to specs and took care of all the permits which was great. Keep in mind it did take a few weeks to make the door, so order in enough time for delivery you want. Best part was Cory who installed my new door very professionally and very friendly too and did an amazing job! I was not very excited about buying this; however, now I am very pleased and love how quiet and smooth it runs and also looks clean. Worth every penny and will call them if service is needed as they were very prompt and courteous. Happy customer!read more
