Top 5 Renovations with the Best ROI in Metro Detroit

1. Garage Door Replacement

  • ROI: ~94%
  • Curb appeal matters, and a new garage door instantly refreshes your home’s exterior. It’s functional, affordable, and one of the top ROI projects every year.

2. Minor Kitchen Remodel

  • ROI: ~85%

  • You don’t need a full gut job. Replacing cabinet fronts, upgrading hardware, adding energy-efficient appliances, or installing new countertops can modernize your space without over investing.

3. Updated Front Door

  • ROI: ~82%

  • A steel or fiberglass front door makes a great first impression and improves energy efficiency—both major perks for buyers and appraisers.

4. Bathroom Refresh

  • ROI: ~70–75%

  • Focus on updating fixtures, regrouting tile, replacing the vanity or lighting, and adding a fresh coat of paint. It gives the bathroom a clean, modern look without major construction.

5. Exterior Siding or Paint

  • ROI: ~69–75%

  • If your siding is dated or worn, upgrading to fiber-cement or vinyl siding—or even just a high-quality repaint—can significantly boost curb appeal and buyer confidence.
