Renovations that pay off

When looking to upgrade or remodel, some renovations will bring more of a return than others. Here are a few to consider:

• Replace the roof: Sure, it’s costly – not to mention loud and messy – but a roof in bad shape will definitely show up in an inspection and should return 100 percent on investment.
• A new garage door: Another potential 100 percent ROI, a new door will improve curb appeal and add insulation.
• Hardwood floors: Refinishing hardwood floors can bring a 147 percent return, while installing hard floors can return 117 percent of the cost.
