remodelingThinking about remodeling but don’t know how to get the most bang for your buck? The latest ‘Cost vs Value’ report for Remodeling magazine suggests it is more profitable to spend money on the exterior of your home rather than the interior.

Other renovations worth their price tag include a steel entry door replacement with 102.1% cost recouped, a minor kitchen model with 72.8% recouped and replacing wooden windows with 72.4% replacement value.

Big renovations that are worth the investment are master suite additions (52.7% of cost recouped), bathroom additions (53% cost recouped) and a home office remodel (45.8% cost recouped).
