With many people considering remodeling during this time, either in preparation for a move or just wanting to spruce up their own space, it's important to think of the Return on Investment these renovations will produce.
 
According to an article from the San Francisco Bay Times, below is a sample of the high-producing remodeling projects for homes in the San Francisco Bay Area based on the recently released data:
 
  • Window replacement: 20-30% ROI
  • Major kitchen remodel: 12-35% ROI
  • Major bathroom remodel: 18-35% ROI
  • Deck addition: 26-77% ROI
 
Remodeling projects that convert unconditioned space (garage, basement, or attic) into living space (home office, home gym, or guest room) are the projects with the highest ROI.
