Top 5 Home Renovation Projects That Boost Property Value
By Third Eye Builders | Asheville, NC
When it comes to home renovations, not all upgrades are created equal. Whether you're planning to sell soon or simply want to increase the value of your investment, focusing on the right projects can make a big difference.
At Third Eye Builders, we’ve helped homeowners across Asheville, NC transform their spaces with renovations that not only look amazing—but also add long-term value.
Here are the top 5 renovation projects that consistently deliver strong ROI and increase your home’s resale value:
1. Kitchen Remodel (Minor to Mid-Range)
The kitchen is often called the heart of the home—and buyers agree. A minor kitchen remodel (think: new countertops, cabinet refacing, updated appliances, and fresh paint) can return 70–80% of your investment.
Asheville Insight: Many older homes in Asheville benefit from modernizing layouts while preserving historic charm. We specialize in that balance.
2. Bathroom Renovation
Bathrooms are another key selling point. Updating an old bathroom can recoup 60–70% of your investment, and it makes a big impression on buyers.
Common upgrades we complete include:
Stylish new vanities
Walk-in showers with custom tile
Energy-efficient fixtures
Spa-like touches that still feel grounded in your home’s style
3. New Windows and Doors
Replacing old, drafty windows and exterior doors isn’t just about looks—it improves energy efficiency (a big plus in the Asheville climate), increases security, and enhances curb appeal.
ROI: Up to 70%
Bonus: Modern windows and doors can help reduce heating and cooling bills in our four-season mountain environment.
4. Basement or Attic Conversions
In Asheville, where building out isn’t always possible due to topography or zoning, converting unused space into livable square footage is a smart move.
We’ve helped homeowners turn basements and attics into:
Guest suites
Home offices or studios
Rental units or in-law apartments
ROI: Up to 75%, especially when designed to blend seamlessly with the rest of the home.
5. Curb Appeal Enhancements
Your home’s exterior is its first impression. Small changes can yield big results—both visually and financially.
As part of our exterior renovation services, Third Eye Builders can update:
Siding and paint
Porch and entryways
Garage doors
Landscaping and hardscaping features
Asheville Style Tip: Native plants and stonework integrate beautifully with the mountain landscape—and are low maintenance, too.
