Our crew at Handyman Connection of Rockville has put together some ways for you to do that. Check them out and let us know what you think!

Keep in mind that costs and the return on your investment can vary depending on the project or upgrade.

Curb Appeal

One of the more inexpensive ways to add value to your home is by ramping up your home’s curb appeal. The first impression on your home is the front, therefore it’s important to invest in a nice lawn with nice landscaping. Consider adding some nice shrubs, flowers, and a nice walkway to the front door. Install new sod if necessary, and create a really appealing front yard and front entryway area.

Appliance Upgrades

While this may not be the most inexpensive suggestion, you can make it as such by simply improving the appliances you have now. Take time to fix that leaky faucet, or to do a deep, deep clean of your oven. By improving the appliances you have now, the appearance will improve leaving less room for functionality questions. Upgrading your appliances to newer models will do wonders for increasing the value of your home, but if you’re looking for the inexpensive way to do so, take time to improve and adjust the ones you already have.

Storage Improvements

One of the more common questions potential homeowners have when looking at a potential new home, is the amount of storage that is available. Additionally, the creativity of the available storage is also important. Even if you feel that for you and your family there is plenty of storage, that might not be the case for the next homeowner, so utilize and maximize the space you have available and find new ways to incorporate storage systems. Even if you aren’t looking to put your house on the market just yet, you can’t go wrong by increasing your storage space. You may be surprised at what you’re able to accomplish. You can do this by incorporating secret storage through featured accent pieces like a footrest or a stylish trunk, or you can add shelving, expand a closet or re-organize each room.

Lighting Upgrades

By upgrading your current light fixtures, you’ll be able to transform a room without too much effort or cash. The type of light and type of light fixture can change the entire feel of the room. Also, if you’re looking to make a dull room feel lighter, add brighter bulbs and update or upgrade the light fixture. If you’re looking to do this while saving some money, re-paint or deep clean your current light fixtures. This may come as a surprise, but light fixtures and lighting choices can add a lot to the value of your home.
