One of the reasons why homeowners invest in home improvements is the added value they bring. In this blog, roofing company Hinkle Roofing lists exterior home improvements that you should prioritize if you’re looking to increase your home’s value.
Manufactured Stone Veneer — It may sound simple, but adding manufactured stone veneer to your home’s exterior can dramatically change how it looks. Consider replacing siding at the bottom third of the street-facing facade with stone veneer. If your home has an outer entry archway, it can benefit from stone veneer. If you find manufactured stone veneer too busy, pair it with plain lap siding.
Siding Replacement — There are many siding options available on the market but vinyl siding strikes a good balance between cost and lifespan. Many homeowners favor vinyl siding because of its low-maintenance requirements and wide selection of molded-in colors. Our team can help you choose the vinyl color, style and texture that complements your existing roofing.
Wooden Deck Addition — An outdoor deck can increase your living area, which can definitely boost your home’s value. Choose pressure-treated deck boards to minimize the risks of damage to the wood from exposure to outdoor conditions. A multi-tier wooden deck is perfect if you have a steeply sloped backyard.
Replacement Windows — Always look for the ENERGY STAR® label when choosing replacement windows. Not only do new windows boost your home’s aesthetics but it also helps improve your home’s energy efficiency, which can lead to savings in your utility bills. It also helps make your home more comfortable.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement — Asphalt shingle roofs offer a good balance between upfront cost, life span and aesthetic benefits. When choosing a new roof, check the wind ratings, the warranty coverage and accessories such as ridge vents. These features can help prolong the roof’s life span, thus helping boost your home’s value.
