Trust the Home Exterior Renovation Experts To Improve the Value of Your Home
Purchasing a home is one of the most important investments someone will make in their entire life. Whether it be to add curb appeal to your home or make it engaging to attract potential buyers, it needs to stand out above the rest. If someone walks or drives by your home and is not taken away by what they see on the outside, it is extremely unlikely that they are going to have any interest in seeing the inside or even considering your property a potential option.
The importance of curb appeal should not take a “back seat” when it comes to increasing the value of your home. When you want to add value for the long term or sell your home in the near future, exterior home upgrades are a must and one of the best places to start.
Discover all of the value-adding ideas for the exterior of your home that will not only leave passersby in awe, but it will also tremendously boost your home resale value.
Here are the Top 5 Exterior Renovation Enhancements to Increase Home Property Value in Chicago:
INSTALL A NEW ROOF
Roofing is one of our main specialties, so it may seem obvious that we would say this, right? But we guarantee it is not just us who is saying it.
According to the 2019 Remodeling Impact Report by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), replacing a roof recovers 107 percent of its cost at resale. Any roof that is more than 15 years old will start to show major signs of wear and tear, especially due to the changing Illinois weather.
A roof that has undergone high amounts of stress and damage puts everything and everyone inside at risk. Switching to durable roofing material and having it installed by a professional team of roofing experts will save you the hassle of replacing your roof in the near future while adding resale value to your home.
GUTTER & SIDING REPLACEMENT
The gutters and siding are two essential components to the protection of your home; when they become old and useless, they put the appearance and safety of your home at risk. Your siding is one of the first things that people see when they go past your home, so making a good impression with new, stylish, and durable siding will always turn heads!
Replacing your gutters is also very important to the survival of your home and resale value. Though they may not be something that potential buyers are looking at regarding the appearance of your home, gutters are the hidden heroes of the house. During the long winters and springs, the gutters divert water and debris away from the house. So, if you want to add value to your house, make sure your gutters and siding are in tip-top shape!

INSTALL A MAIN ENTRY DOOR
Not all exterior improvements require a major layout; sometimes, the smallest additions can make the biggest difference. For instance, by installing or upgrading your main entry door, you can achieve incredible results without breaking the bank. When it comes to installing the main entry door, we highly recommend a steel door. This will create an excellent first impression, conveying:
- Security,
- Low maintenance
- Energy efficiency
- Durability
These are all essential factors that potential buyers consider before purchasing a home.
EXTERIOR ENGINEERED STONE VENEER
Engineered stone veneer is produced by using a concrete mixture that is poured into a mold and colored using mineral pigments. Its lightweight and porous properties make it very easy to handle and cut while being cost-efficient for homeowners. With its wide variety of styles, colors, and textures, Engineered Stone Veneer has become a favorite for exterior use. Engineered stone veneer typically requires little to no maintenance and can be added to any size and style of home. If you want a reliable siding that gives a beautiful and classy appearance that stands out from other houses, engineered stone veneer is the way to go.
REPLACE OLD WINDOWS
Replacing your windows may seem like another significant investment, but it is a necessity if you want to instantly raise the value of your residence. While creating an outstanding first impression, new windows also are more energy-efficient and will allow homeowners to save money in the future when running the AC or furnace.
