Home Projects to Increase the Value of Your House
As you roll into the new year, you may be thinking about your house’s overall value. Is it close to what it was when you bought it? Has it depreciated for some reason? How can you increase its overall value?
Well, updating older parts of the house always helps. Sure, you’ll have to pour in some time and money to get these rooms or parts of your house updated, but it’ll sincerely help build your house’s value, meaning your assets just skyrocketed.
Look no further than these projects to get your house back on track and on the rise.

Replace your carpet with hardwood flooring
This is admittedly a project that will take time and some money, but with the help of a few family members or friends you’ll be on your way to a beautiful new floor.

The thing is, carpet is just so out of date and “cheap” that you simply don’t see it anymore. Anywhere. Rugs over hardwood flooring look much nicer and are so much easier to clean and match to the room you want to put it in. And the thing is, nothing says class and style like beautiful hardwood floors. It may take you a week to do a bigger room or even a few weeks to do one entire level of your house, but it’s absolutely worth the time and money.
Get windows replaced or install new ones entirely
People love lots of natural light. While there certainly is such a thing as having too many windows, it would be hard to reach that point. So, could your house use more windows?

Yes, yes it could. A really easy project that could completely revamp how your house looks in a certain room is a bay window. This takes up enough space that it creates its own presence and can support quite a bit of plants, decorations, cushions, and more. Just as well, it has a lot of function if your kids want to read in the sitting area or your pets feel like sunbathing.
Build brick pillars around your porch supports
A lot of houses with front overhanging porches are supported by 4x4s. While this does the job just fine in keeping the overhanging roof stable, the pillars are rather thin looking in comparison to the house. If you’re looking to give the front of your house a new and overhauled look, think about building thicker pillars made of brick around your existing pillars. I wouldn’t suggest going all the way up to your roof. Rather, layer the brick up the existing 4x4 about 4 feet from the ground. It’ll completely transform your house’s face.
