12 Most-Bang-for-Your-Buck Home Improvement Projects

Home improvement projects don’t always have to have big-budget price tags. If you’re looking to sell or just want to make your home more comfortable, there are several updates you can do, big and small. Here are 12 of the most bang-for-your-buck home improvement projects.

Update the Bathroom

When it comes to projects that will give you a great return when you sell your home, look no further than a minor bathroom remodel. Give your bathroom vanity a makeover, replace the toilet and faucet if needed, update the showerhead for a better shower experience and re-caulk the bathroom tub.

Upgrade Flooring

If the carpet in your living room is looking worn, remove it and install some hardwood flooring. Quality hardwood flooring can cost anywhere from $3 to $8 per square foot and you can save some money by installing it yourself. Try tile in the mudroom and give bedroom carpet a good cleaning.

Add Paint

Choose a paint color and give a room a fresh look. Be sure to choose a high-quality paint which will cost you $30 to $60 a gallon, but is totally worth it. While you have the painting supplies out, brighten trim with a light-colored, high-gloss paint.
