Every homeowner wants to make sure they are getting the best return on their investment when making improvements to their home. One of the best ways to measure this value is by comparing the expected amount you could recoup from the improvement if you were to sell your home. That’s the premise behind the annual Remodeling Cost vs. Value 2020 Report produced by Hanley Wood, the country’s leading home improvement publishing company.
For 2020, the top ten home improvements across the U.S. with the best average return on investment (ROI) are:
- Manufactured Stone Veneer (95.6% average ROI)
