Home additions are a good investment. Not only can they increase your home’s living space, but they may also help improve your home’s value. Additions and siding contractor Colonial Remodeling, LLC lists the home additions that add the most value to your home in today’s post.

1. Outdoor Deck — If your home doesn’t already have a patio, consider having a deck installed. An outdoor deck typically costs less to install than a patio and can be built in multiple tiers. It’s the ideal home addition if your property has a sloping backyard. In terms of materials, you can choose wood for rustic charm or composite for a more low-maintenance alternative.

2. Replacement Windows — There are many benefits of replacing your windows. The right replacement window style can help boost your home’s curb appeal. More importantly, energy-efficient replacement windows can help you save on your energy bills, therefore increasing your home’s value. Pre-hung replacement windows should ideally be installed after siding installation for a cleaner look. Choose replacement windows with ENERGY STAR® certification.

3. Attic or Basement Conversion — Converting your underused attic or basement space can increase your home’s useful square footage. Both spaces can be converted to virtually any type of room: as a home office, a recreation room or a guest bedroom. Make sure you to hire a certified contractor when converting the attic and/or the basement to ensure compliance with building codes.

4. Kitchen Expansion — Kitchen remodeling generally guarantees a high return on investment; expanding your kitchen can significantly boost your home’s value. If your kitchen is attached to an underused area of your home, consider merging it into one large space. A project of this scope will take a great deal of planning and will require a good design, but the results make it well worth it.

5. Bathroom Addition — Adding a new bathroom, even a service bathroom for guest use, is a good way to improve your home’s value. As with kitchen expansions, unused areas can be converted into a service bathroom. For water-saving features, choose fixtures with WaterSense labels.
