So everyone knows that the kitchen, living room, and dinning room are always very desirable renovation projects but what happens when these areas are done. If you still have some money left over after the major renovation areas are finished and you still want to invest into your home there are a variety of other great renovation projects that will help increase the value and appeal of your home. So here is a list of great renovation projects that you may not have thought of.

1.)   Your Garage: Your garage is a great place to start and this can be anything from a new door and paint job to adding an entire second level. A dirty damaged garage can really detract from the appeal of your home that can wind up greatly affecting the value of your home. But a fresh new looking garage especially one with a second level can really set your home apart from others.

2.)   Your Yard: Everyone has heard of the term “curb appeal” but a lot of homeowners don’t really understand the importance of a clean and well-kept yard. This is anything from eliminating any unsightly weeds and broken branches to purchasing a new storage shed or stone bench. Upgrading your yard will directly affect the appeal of your home to potential buyers and help create a great first impression.

3.)   Your Basement: Finishing off your basement is a great way to create more living areas in your home, which will directly affect the appeal and value of your home. Using this space wisely is very import be sure to give this area its own bathroom. A finished basement can be listed as an extra bedroom, media room, den, or whatever potential buyers in your area are looking for.

4.)   Your Attic: Much like your basement your attic is a great renovation project and all that extra space should not go unused. A finished attic can greatly boost the appeal and value of your home. However, with an attic there is no real need for a bathroom but adding one will boost the appeal and value of your home even further. You should design the are more towards an guest bedroom or study/office space.
