Increase your home’s value with these renovations guaranteed to be worth the time and money. Get More Bang for Your Buck.<\/p>\n

Whether you’re preparing for a move or looking to update your home, remodeling can be a huge undertaking, so it’s important the reward is worth it. So what renovations offer the biggest impact on a home’s value? Four Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate experts weigh in on what projects are actually worth taking on.<\/p>\n

1. Create an Addition<\/strong>
\nAs your family grows, why shouldn’t your home? Consider an addition to add major value to your home plus increase square footage.
\n“Any kind of physical expansion — whether it’s a new bedroom, an extension of a living room, or whatever space you desire — has a huge impact. If you can add square footage to a house, you always add value. Size matters!” ~ Joesph Rand, managing partner and general counsel<\/em><\/p>\n

2. Upgrade a Master Bath<\/strong>
\nThe master bathroom is a major selling point for any home. When renovating, incorporate sleek surfaces for a sparkling space that makes cleaning a cinch.
\n“The master bath should be as large and bright as possible. Texans like things big! They definitely want space in their master baths. A separate water closet and a spacious shower with multiple showerheads are musts. There is also the trend of a separate sink and water closet for each person and only sharing the shower, which we see in the most distinctive homes.” ~ Jean Risha, Realtor associate<\/em><\/p>\n

3. Redo Your Kitchen<\/strong>
\nThe kitchen is the hub of the home, and functionality is top priority.
\n“Updating the kitchen with new appliances and bathrooms with new plumbing fixtures may seem trivial, but it’s a must! Currently, there are many kitchen features that are trending in the Atlanta area, such as wine refrigerators, drawer-style microwaves and dishwashers, commercial-style ranges, and hidden outlets.” ~ Brad Carlton, sales associate<\/em><\/p>\n

4. Amplify Outdoor Living Space<\/strong>
\nNothing beats the option of entertaining outdoors. An outdoor living space will make your home a relaxing destination for get-togethers and add major value.
\n“Tap the outdoors for extra living space. In the old days, just about everyone had a front porch or screened-in area to shade themselves from the Midwestern heat, and these classic features are still in demand. A screened-in porch or backyard patio — especially one that includes an outdoor kitchen with a built-in grill and small fridge — makes a wonderful additional entertaining area.” ~ Mary Hutchison, senior sales executive<\/em><\/p>\n
