Renovation projects with the highest Return

February 27, 2026

# Renovation projects with the highest Return ![unnamed](https://assets.thesparksite.com/uploads/sites/5014/2024/05/unnamed-1.jpg) Exterior improvements, rather than interior ones, yield the greatest return on investment (ROI), [according to research](https://www.remodeling.hw.net/cost-vs-value/2024/key-trends-in-the-2024-cost-vs-value-report?utm_source=www.readtheblueprint.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=the-biggest-money-making-home-renovations) from Zonda. Buyers favor homes with great curb appeal. As you’ll see in the list below, only two interior improvements – a minor kitchen remodel and a mid-range bathroom remodel – had enough of a return on investment to make their Top 10 renovations list. Here are the top 10 renovation projects with the highest ROI: 1. Garage door replacement – 194% 2. Steel door replacement – 188% 3. Manufactured stone veneer – 153% 4. Grand entrance upscale – 97% 5. Minor kitchen remodel – 96% 6. Siding replacement | Fiber Cement – 88% 7. Deck Addition | Wood – 83% 8. Siding replacement | Vinyl – 80% 9. Bathroom remodel mid-range – 74% 10. Deck addition | Composite – 68% #### **Our take** This is an extremely useful report. Every homeowner should have an idea of the ROI of any big-ticket home renovation project. After all, if you’re investing in something to increase your home’s value, and potentially reap a higher sale price, you want to make sure you’re spending money on the right things. Share this report with home sellers looking to maximize their renovation returns.
