4 Exterior Home Improvements That Increase Your Home’s Value

Making home improvements to the exterior of your house protects your investment. But while spending time freshening up the outside of the home is great, it’s even more important to focus on structural features. Certain home improvements can help you save money on energy and keep your foundation structurally sound. Many of these will also boost the value of your home if you sell or refinance. Here are five projects that offer the most return for your investment.

1. Replace the Roof

A new roof is perhaps the single most important exterior investment you can make. It adds value simply by ensuring the home remains watertight long-term. Asphalt shingles are one option. Your roofing company can help you choose from many roofing options, such as stylish metal roofing or wooden shingles. Choose from an energy-efficient product designed to provide long-lasting support. Owens Corning offers a variety of stylish colors and features that can boost your home’s value even more.

2. Update the Gutters

Along with the roof, the gutter system along the edge of your home’s roofline helps funnel water away from the siding and foundation. If it’s blocked with leaves or no longer functioning properly due to holes, this creates a high risk for potential soil runoff, exposing your home’s foundation to moisture. Consider new gutters to freshen the look of your home and protect it as well. An upgrade to Debris Guard gutter covers can help keep gutters clear and you off the ladder.

3. Invest in New Windows

Windows not only provide a view, but they also help maintain your home’s temperature. Energy-efficient windows help maintain a steady temperature in your home, keeping you warmer during the winter and cooler in the summer. They also add value to your home if replacement windows are easy to open, easy to clean and offer UV-blocking features.

4. Upgrade Your Siding

To achieve the newest-looking home on the block, upgrade to new siding. If your home’s siding hasn’t been replaced in the last 15 or more years, you may be losing money on energy loss as well. New siding, such as products from the James Hardie brand, can help provide ample protection to your home while also adding outstanding energy efficiency.

Boosting curb appeal is important, but taking on larger exterior home improvements like the ones covered above can add far more value. Performing tasks like upgrading your roof or your gutters also helps support a structurally sound home that you can rely on for many more years.
