Home remodeling projects can be a great way to add value to your property, but it’s important to plan your project carefully to ensure that you get the best possible return on your investment. With a budget of over $50,000, you have a lot of options available to you. In this blog post, we’ll discuss some home remodel planning tips for high budget projects and explore the impact of home remodels on increasing a home’s value for future sale, with a particular focus on South County (Narragansett, South Kingstown, Wakefield, Charlestown, Westerly.) We’ll also provide information on home additions, flooring, bathrooms, kitchens, and painting, as well as the restoration of historic homes in areas like Wakefield or Newport.

Segment 1: The Value of Home Remodeling
Before diving into the specifics of different home remodel projects, it’s important to understand the value of home remodeling. According to Remodeling Magazine’s 2021 Cost vs. Value Report, most home remodel projects will recoup between 50-70% of their cost at resale. Some of the projects with the highest return on investment include a minor kitchen remodel, a garage door replacement, and a deck addition. However, this varies based on location, which is why we will be looking at Rhode Island and Southern Rhode Island in particular.

Segment 2: Home Additions
If you’re looking to add square footage to your home, an addition is a great option. However, it’s important to consider the type of addition that will add the most value to your home. For example, a second-story addition may add more square footage, but it can be more expensive and may not add as much value as a ground-floor addition that includes a master suite or additional living space.

Segment 3: Flooring
Flooring is an important part of any home remodel project. Whether you’re looking to replace worn-out carpet or upgrade to hardwood floors, it’s important to choose a durable and stylish option.

In Rhode Island, a mid-range kitchen remodel can recoup up to 64.6% of its cost at resale, according to Remodeling Magazine. Popular upgrades include replacing countertops and cabinets, upgrading to energy-efficient appliances, and adding an island for additional workspace.

Segment 6: Painting

Whether you’re repainting the interior or exterior of your home, it’s important to choose colors that are neutral and appeal to a wide range of buyers.
