The Average Cost Of Common Home Upgrades

Is your home ready for a facelift? Over time, even the trendiest look will become outdated and stale. You know you want to make some changes, but aren’t sure how much to budget for the updates you’d like to make. Before you decide how best to use your available funds, consider some of the most common home upgrades and their average costs:

• Garage Door (2-door) – $3,500
• Deck Addition – $10,900
• Minor Kitchen Remodel – $21,250
• Major Kitchen Remodel – $40,000
• Window Replacement (vinyl) – $15,500
• Bathroom Remodel – $20,000
• Roof Replacement – $25,000
• Exterior Paint – $5,000
• Interior Paint – $2,750
• Front Door Replacement – $1,500
• New Pool Equipment – $5,000

Not every upgrade will bring a solid rate of return when you go to sell your home, and if that’s your goal, you need to factor that into your estimates. Some of the best investments you can make include kitchens and bathrooms, new garage doors, a new front door, and fresh paint. Each of these typically yields a strong return on investment when you go to sell. While this might not always be a strict dollar-for-dollar return, an updated, well-maintained home will almost always sell faster and for a higher sales price than a dated counterpart.
