Remodeling dollars are flowing again! According to Remodeling magazines “2014 Cost vs. Value Report” these projects are offering the best return on your investment!

Steel Entry Doors – Replacing an entry door with a modestly priced steel door will upgrade your curb appeal and your energy efficiency. Steel doors come in many different colors and can be painted to suit your exterior scheme.

Wood Deck – What better way to enjoy the outdoors than to relax or entertain on a wood deck? Not only does it provide a generous amount of living space at a fraction of what an enclosed addition would be, but it also adds value to your home.

Attic Conversion – Looking to add more space to your home? Perhaps, another bedroom? Converting an attic space allows you to add valuable living space without changing the footprint of your home.

Garage Door Replacement- Improve the exterior of your home by upgrading your garage door. Many terrific styles and choices are out there…from plain steel doors to energy-efficient insulated models with glass windows and panels.

Fiber-Cement Siding- Known as the “royalty of siding”, fiber cement offers resistance to moisture, terminates, rot and fire. It’s flexible and stable so repainting is less often – saving money over time and its long lasting.  It’s also known for being more of an upscale, high quality product.

Replacement Windows- New energy efficient window’s can save you money and look great! Definitely worth the return on your investment!

Vinyl Siding- Low maintenance, light weight and inexpensive, vinyl siding definitely continues to be the most popular choice for replacement of siding. With color-fast formulas and installations that are seamless, vinyl siding looks better than ever!

Kitchen Updates- A minor remodel to the kitchen that includes cabinet re-facing of doors and drawers along with new appliances, countertops and flooring has the highest average return on investments according to the Cost vs Value report over the past 10 years!
