Winter wishlist - Prioritizing Home Remodel projects with the best return on investment




Not all home remodel projects are equal when it comes to how they will impact the price of your home when you put it on the market. While it may seem logical that endeavoring a large home addition like a master suite or installing an in-ground pool should increase your home’s value and pay dividends on those remodeling costs, that is not always the case. The return on investment (ROI) of your next home remodel is easy to calculate, and something that you can also get help with from your local home remodeling contractor.
