Second floor attic buildout of an historic New Orleans home where the average return on investment was 130%. 

Need more space for your home or business while obtaining maximum resale value? If you are planning to remodel, renovate or add on to your home or building,  it is important to research your local real estate market to find out if your project will return your investment when it is time to sell. Depending on where you live, the right project may return 100% of your investment plus a little more. That is why research is the most logical first step in any remodeling or addition project.

Remodeling and addition projects are done not simply for the sake of trying to increase resale value but when you are planning to continue living in your home or when your growing business has space to expand. Since you can’t guarantee that you will get a decent return, it makes the sense to remodel when you will be able to enjoy the benefits in the long run and take advantage of the increased value potential for making a transformation.

Often, cost-effective upgrades and minor improvements can yield major dividends. However, when you factor in the above aspects, they're more likely to pay for themselves. Adding rooms, such as a family room or master suite, also tends to fare well at resale time: Bigger homes command higher value.
