Report compares cost vs. value of remodeling projects in 81 cities

Remodeling projects with the most bang for the buck when selling a home include replacing an entry door, adding a deck, replacing a garage door, and doing a minor kitchen remodel. Homeowners can expect to recoup 75 percent or more of the cost of those projects, compared with less than 50 percent for a sunroom addition or home office remodel, according to Remodeling magazine’s 2013 Cost vs. Value Report, which provides data for 81 cities.
