Home improvement projects, from building a deck to adding a second story, can improve the monetary value of your home as well as becoming a quality living space to enrich your life on weekends, for example.

After speaking with many clients over the years, we understand that there are a number of reasons why someone would want to renovate or add to their homeWe've brainstormed why someone should invest in their home in way of home improvements and have come up with a short list as follows:

1. Sometimes, the homeowner is planning on selling their home soon and want to make it more appealing to buyers.
2. A homeowner has found their "forever home" and wants to make it the house they've always dreamed of.
3. And finally, there are those who fall in between these two ends, who are wanting to increase the value of their home even if they aren't necessarily considering selling it at the moment.

Home renovations ideally provide the home with value so if you do sell (the most likely scenario even if it is decades) you recoup more money than what you initially spent on it

of any kind will have some value that you recoup: how much more can you sell your house for now that you have that third bedroom compared to how much money you spent to add it.

It is rare for your to recoup more than the initial investment, but some improvements certainly come close.
