Upgrades to older homes carry more impact than those made on newer homes. Also, the upgrades you choose should match with the style and feel of the rest of the house. The high-end, more expensive upgrades you intend to make might not give better returns on investment in cases where the home is not expensive to begin with. Take into account all these aspects before embarking on a renovation or upgrade. Some of the most impressive kinds of upgrades—at least in terms of how much of a return you can expect for your investment—include replacing vinyl siding, bathroom remodeling, replacement of windows, kitchen remodeling, basement remodeling, adding a deck, replacing or repairing the roof, installing a steel replacement front door, weather stripping around windows, installing solar energy panels and programmable thermostats, and fresh landscaping.
