Now that spring is finally here, it’s time to start thinking about home improvement projects. Whether you’re looking to spruce up your residence prior to putting it on the market or you just want to start checking items off your to-do list, Concrete Leveling Technologies is here to help.
Here are eight projects that will boost your home’s value, as referenced from FortuneBuilders:
Landscaping
Looking to add curb appeal to your home without breaking the bank? Then you should definitely consider updating the landscaping. Start with simple maintenance tasks such as removing weeds and getting your lawn as green as possible. From there, be sure to add pops of color with annuals, perennials, and flowering shrubs.
If you’re selling your house in the not-too-distant future, it’s imperative to invest in a bit of landscaping work this spring. There’s no question that a well-maintained residence on the outside will encourage prospective buyers to go inside for a closer look.
Basement remodel
A basement renovation is a perfect way to add living space to your home. Depending on the size of the space, you could have enough room for an extra bedroom and/or bathroom in your basement. Either addition is certain to increase your resale value.
Today, homeowners recoup about 70 percent of what they put into their basement remodeling projects. Just remember to hire a professional when the time comes — you don’t want to end up paying twice to complete this renovation.
Roof repairs
Your roof takes a beating every day. That said, many homeowners in Texas often forget about the importance of their roofs. When it comes to roof repairs, it’s best to fix them early so they don’t turn into major, more expensive issues.
With hot summer temperatures quickly approaching, now is the time to consider getting your roof fixed. Similar to a basement remodel, you should expect to recoup about 70 percent of the costs in the long run.
Patio additions
Looking to spend more time outside with friends and family this summer? Then a deck or patio addition should be at the top of your list. Not only does installing a wood deck or concrete patio slabs add value to your residence, but it’s one of the more financially reasonable projects on this list.
A deck or patio addition yields a return on investment of about 75 percent. If you have any doubts about taking on the project yourself, be sure to hire a professional. It’s also worth your time to double-check the code standards in your neighborhood before moving forward with the project.
Siding replacement
Many homeowners in Austin forget about their siding. What they don’t realize, though, is that this exterior material protects their home from inclement weather. Not to mention, siding is similar to landscaping in that it plays a role in overall curb appeal.
So which type of siding is best for your residence? We recommend choosing a material that’s durable, low-maintenance, and weather-resistant. Note that siding replacement adds about $10,000 to your home’s resale value.
Entry door replacement
In addition to the landscaping, the front door will be the first thing prospective buyers notice before entering your home. Installing a steel entry door is an affordable way to transform the look and feel of your home. Not to mention, it improves energy efficiency.
A new entry door boasts a return of more than 90 percent. This should come as no surprise when you consider that such an addition makes your residence more attractive from a buyer’s perspective.
Garage door replacement
Take a long, hard look at your garage door. Perhaps it’s been worn down over the years from nasty storms and is no longer visually appealing. Believe it or not, replacing your garage door will make it quite a bit easier to sell your home.
You can expect to recoup more than 90 percent of the costs associated with this project. If you’re selling your home, consider replacing your garage door along with upgrading your landscaping and front door.
Concrete leveling
We’re going to focus on this project for the remainder of the post. If you notice any areas of uneven concrete on your property, it’s important to take action as soon as possible. Over time, this unlevel concrete is likely to become a hazard for kids and just about anyone walking around the area.
You’re probably asking yourself, “Who should I hire to complete the concrete repairs?” Here at Concrete Leveling Technologies, we understand there are a number of concrete contractors in central Texas. What sets us apart is our use of polyurethane foam to repair our clients’ settled concrete.
As opposed to mudjacking, our process is quick, effective, and lasts for years to come. With Concrete Leveling Technologies, there’s no need to worry about an invasive, messy technique that only yields a short-term fix.
