Fences, Fire Pits, and Financial Returns: Small Investments that Lead to Larger Returns?
From your first turn of a key to your next fresh coat of paint to a brand new screen enclosure, let’s face it, financial returns are on our minds when it comes to our home improvements in Central Florida. We’re here to show you some small projects that will not require too large of an investment that will help boost the value of your home almost instantly.
Fences:
In our earlier article we wrote about the essential fact that fencing adds privacy to the home which is one huge step towards added personal living space and value. Whether you are looking to add more outdoor living space to your home or paving the way for a great place for pets to roam happily, fences are a simple home improvement investment that goes a long way. From outdoor barbecue days in the summer to creating kid friendly gardens, a fenced in backyard will allow you and future homeowners to enjoy the backyard without worrying about boundaries.
Firepits:
Over the years the increased interest in camping and outdoor adventures leads us to confidently believe that an out of the box and inexpensive fire pit added to the backyard might just be the one added bonus someone is looking for. The truth is, a fire pit can lead to so many fun opportunities to unite friends and family. For many, the smell of firewood and the crackling sound of the fire pit brings back great memories of fun times. If it doesn’t it definitely can–with opportunities for s’mores nights, fire pit meditations, and fun kebab around the fire memories are a priceless bonus for this very, easy to install addition.
Screened in Porches:
This Central Florida classic is located in some shape or form in many homes, townhomes, and condos around this sunny tropical state. For unique ideas, consider screened porches and patios. A screened in patio adds protection from the elements, protects your space and packages from potential damage, and most certainly adds an additional value to your overall home.
Pergolas
Perhaps you already have a fenced in backyard space but you’re wondering how you can increase your outdoor living space that might be underutilized. Adding something as simple and classic as a paved section in the backyard and a pergola will add more functional space to your home. Throw a grill in that area or some nice outdoor lounge chairs and you have a new mini retreat space right in your own backyard.
Paving
According to recent estimates, paving, when done right, can add up to anywhere between a 9-30% return on investment. Paving adds an immediate curb appeal which will not only make your home value increase but also add a boost of style to your home. It adds durability, elegance, and improves the overall flow of the outdoors. Already have a home with a paved entrance? There are so many additional ways to add more value to your home.
