Kitchen and bath remodels boost home value, improve appeal, and offer strong return on investment.
Looking to increase your home’s resale value? Start with the kitchen or bathroom — two of the most important rooms to buyers and appraisers alike.
Whether you're planning to sell your home or just want to make a smart investment, remodeling your kitchen or bathroom is one of the most effective ways to boost property value. At Denson Construction, we’ve seen firsthand how modern upgrades in these spaces can dramatically improve both aesthetics and return on investment (ROI).
Here’s why kitchen and bath remodels are a top choice for homeowners who want to increase the value of their property.
1. High ROI Remodeling Projects
According to national real estate and remodeling reports, kitchen and bathroom remodels consistently offer some of the highest returns on investment—often recouping 60% to 80% or more of the cost when the home is sold. Minor kitchen remodels (like replacing countertops, refacing cabinets, or upgrading appliances) can be especially cost-effective.
Buyers place a premium on move-in-ready homes with updated kitchens and bathrooms. These spaces are where functionality, comfort, and design truly matter.
2. Modern Kitchens Attract Buyers
The kitchen is often called the "heart of the home"—and for good reason. It’s where families gather, meals are prepared, and entertaining happens.
An outdated kitchen with worn cabinets, old flooring, or poor lighting can be a turn-off for potential buyers. By investing in a kitchen remodel with features like:
Custom cabinetry
Quartz or granite countertops
Energy-efficient appliances
Modern lighting and plumbing fixtures
Durable, attractive flooring
...you can dramatically improve both the look and function of the space. Even small updates can create a “wow factor” that increases perceived value.
3. Updated Bathrooms Improve Function and Appeal
A dated or poorly functioning bathroom can lower your home's value fast. Buyers want clean, modern, and spa-like bathrooms with:
Walk-in showers or tubs
New vanities and mirrors
Water-efficient toilets and fixtures
Fresh tile work and waterproof flooring
Better ventilation and lighting
A bathroom remodel doesn’t just make the space more attractive — it also improves energy efficiency, safety, and comfort, which are all important selling points.
4. Increase Energy Efficiency and Lower Utility Bills
Today’s buyers are more eco-conscious than ever. By upgrading to energy-efficient appliances, LED lighting, and low-flow plumbing fixtures, you’re not only lowering your energy bills but also making your home more appealing to buyers who value sustainability.
Homebuyers often look for "green" features that offer long-term savings, and a kitchen or bath remodel is a great way to highlight those improvements.
5. Create a Competitive Edge in the Real Estate Market
If you're planning to sell, a freshly remodeled kitchen or bathroom can give your home the competitive edge it needs to stand out in a crowded real estate market.
A move-in-ready home with modern updates tends to sell faster and closer to asking price. In fact, homes with recently remodeled kitchens and baths often attract more showings and stronger offers.
