What to Remodel

KITCHEN - Add usability with dual sinks and cooking stations.  Add aesthetics with commercial-quality and stainless steel appliance, stone or stainless steel counter tops and ceramic tile back splashes.  Add space with breakfast nook or walk-in pantry.  Add livability with computer desk, mudroom, or hobby area.

BATHROOM - Add light with skylights and glass blocks without losing privacy.  Add space with walk-in dual shower, vaulted ceiling, recessed medicine cabinet, or a curved shower curtain rod.  Add functionality with twin sinks or vanities.  Add aesthetics with ceramic tile or stone flooring, stone counter tops, heated towel bars and floors.

SIDING - Remodeling the exterior is as much about maintenance as it is about curb appeal.  Vinyl siding looks fresh and tidy year after year with minimal upkeep.  With stucco siding, a new polymer covering can be sprayed or troweled onto a fiberglass mesh base.

WINDOWS - New windows will help you realize additional savings in monthly utility bills.  Prospective buyers view windows as they do other structural items, so failing to update old ones can result in lower - or no - resale offers.  Newer styles include seamless bent-glass corner windows, curved glass, and casements with no center stile.

I client of mine found out about the exterior by power washing and found the true color of his home.

There are two schools of thought about remodeling.  One is, as I believe you describe, getting the most bang for the buck in resale value.  The other is getting the house you want to live in, not thinking about resale value.  After a 30 year career in remodeling, I found that people in the latter category were much easier to work with, and more appreciative of quality.
