Truly, not all home renovations offer a great return on investment. As such, it's important that you understand which interior and exterior home renovations add the most value, especially when it’s time to sell or refinance. Here are the latest numbers as of 2024.

Garage Door Replacement

According to the 2024 COST vs VALUE survey by Remodeling Magazine, an updated garage door is the best ROI home renovation. With a whopping 194% of the total cost recouped, you get back almost all the money spent buying and installing it.
