Six Home Improvement Projects That Add Value and Convenience in Port Neches & Vidor

Whether you’re considering updating your home before putting it up for sale, or simply wanting to give it a little facelift, you might be wondering which home improvement projects add the most value to your home. Well, traditionally, kitchen and bathroom remodels have had a high return on investment, assuming you don’t wrap your cabinets in gold-leaf.

But, believe it or not, there are other remodeling projects that not only improve the look and feel of your home, but actually deliver an equally high, if not higher, return on your investment. Here are the top 5 non-kitchen and bath projects according Remodeling Magazine’s Cost vs. Value Report.
