Home Upgrade Cost vs. Value

Recently, the National Association of Realtors and Remodeling Magazine have released the 2011-2012 Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report and the results are a great indicator for gauging which upgrade a homeowner should tackle as their next project. Below I have compiled the results for the Sacramento area.

Project  Pacific Region Value   National Average 
Fiber Cement Siding 85.2% 78.0%
Vinyl Windows 80.1% 69.1%
Wood Windows 76.2% 64.1%
Kitchen Remodel 66.6% 57.4%

As you can see from the table above, fiber cement siding is one of the best projects a homeowner can take advantage of for return on investment (ROI) purposes. Which makes a lot of sense when if you look into it. Fiber cement siding, from manufacturers James Hardie and Certainteed, offers the appearance of wood with the added benefits of not rotting or warping. Termite damage is also alleviated since the siding is no longer made of wood. Couple that with the great warranties carried by both manufacturers and it becomes clear the advantages of this siding project.

When looking at the window replacements, vinyl comes in above wood for a good reason. Vinyl and wood offer nearly the same energy-efficiency ratings so a customer is basically paying for aesthetics. With the visually-appealing upgrades offered on our Amerimax Prestige window line the difference between vinyl and wood windows is simply cost. The ROI on this project is much more enticing for vinyl than it is for wood.

Vinyl designs is proud to offer these projects (except for the kitchen remodel) with excellent incentives. So why wait? Give us a call at 800-654-2208 or fill out our form located HERE for a free in-home consultation.
