9. Gear Up the Garage
The garage door probably isn’t the go-to improvement when you think about upping your curb appeal. However, replacing the often-neglected garage door can net you a nearly 87 percent return on investment, on average. For those who don’t have garages, consider taking on a project like renovating other extensions of your home like a shed.
Average Cost: This upgrade runs around $2,300.*
10. Install a Patio
Summer barbecues, evening wine tasting with the breeze in your hair and safe spaces for kids and family pets to roam are priceless. A patio comes at a price, but it’s not a frivolous expense by any means — consider this a mid-level investment for a return on personal happiness.
Average Cost: Most homeowners drop about $1,750 to $4,730 for a patio installation.*
