The Cost of Home Upgrades



 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 Over time, even the trendiest look will become outdated and stale.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 changing you’d like to make. Before you decide how best to use your available funds, consider the most common upgrades and the national average cost for each. 
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, then you need to factor that into your estimates. Some of the best investments you can make include kitchens and bathrooms, new garage doors and front door and fresh paint. Each of these will bring in between 80-90% return-on-investment when you go to sell. While this might not be a dollar-for-dollar return, an updated home will always sell faster and for a higher sales price than its dated counterpart.
