Remodeling With ROI in Mind
Not all upgrades are created equal. If you're thinking of selling soon—or simply want to invest in your home’s future—it’s smart to focus on remodeling projects that increase value and buyer appeal.
At RGV Contracting, we help homeowners across Maineville, Mason, and Warren County prioritize renovations that deliver strong returns. Here are five projects that consistently pay off at resale—and make your home more enjoyable in the meantime.
🛁 1. Bathroom Remodels That Wow
Why it adds value:
Bathrooms are make-or-break for many buyers. A clean, modern bathroom signals that your home is well-maintained and move-in ready.
Best upgrades include:
- New tile and waterproof flooring
- Walk-in showers with glass doors
- Updated vanities and lighting
- Low-flow toilets and energy-efficient fixtures
RGV Tip: You don’t need to gut it—just refreshing the space can make a big impact.
🍽️ 2. A Kitchen That Sells the House
Why it adds value:
Kitchens are one of the top selling points for any home. It’s where families gather, entertain, and spend most of their time.
Smart upgrades:
- Replacing outdated countertops with quartz or granite
- Adding modern cabinet hardware and lighting
- Installing a tile backsplash
- Upgrading to energy-efficient appliances
RGV Tip: Even a mid-range kitchen remodel can yield a 70%+ ROI.
🧱 3. Finished Basements That Add Livable Space
Why it adds value:
A finished basement increases your usable square footage—ideal for growing families, work-from-home needs, or rental potential.
Great additions include:
- Extra bedroom or guest suite
- Media or game room
- Home office with built-in storage
- Basement bathroom
RGV Tip: We design basements that are functional, code-compliant, and ready to impress.
🪟 4. Exterior Upgrades that Boost Curb Appeal
Why it adds value:
First impressions matter. New siding, roofing, or a fresh deck can dramatically improve your home’s exterior.
Popular options:
- Vinyl or fiber cement siding
- Energy-efficient windows
- Asphalt or metal roofing
- Custom decks or porches
RGV Tip: Exterior updates often return 60–90% of their cost, and they draw buyers in before they even open the front door.
🏡 5. Open Floor Plan or Layout Improvements
Why it adds value:
Today’s buyers want flow and flexibility. Removing walls or reconfiguring space can make a home feel larger and more functional—without adding square footage.
Popular changes:
- Open kitchen/dining/living combo
- Widening doorways
- Creating multi-use zones (like a mudroom or pantry)
RGV Tip: Even small layout tweaks can boost livability and appeal.
