Hottest Upgrades & Options for your Home

January 26, 2021

Are you building your dream home and having trouble deciding what upgrades are worth your time & money? Below are 5 smart upgrades that are worth investing in!

1. Flooring upgrades:
Most of the homebuilding and interior design experts we looked at and have worked with say that flooring upgrades will ALWAYS be one of the most common upgrades when building your home that will increase the value over time. The timeless visual appeal and low-maintenance nature of hardwood flooring and ceramic tiles explain why this option is a home upgrade that will never be a bad investment!

2. Kitchen upgrades:
The kitchen is the heart of the home and the spot where you spend the majority of your time making great memories with family and friends. Investing in this space is a must. Upgrades to not be overlooked include quality gas stove cooktop, quiet, quality dishwasher, premium cabinets with plenty of space, shelving/storage and extending your island space.

3. Master Bath upgrades:
The Master Bath is a very important area of your home. This is a space you will use daily, a space you will want to use for relaxation so you really want to make upgrades that will make your daily routine enjoyable! Think about your upgrade options for your walk-in shower, your bath tub & mirrors.

4. Exterior upgrades:
When focusing on exterior options, focus on investing in the curb appeal of your home. Choose selections that will be in style 5-10 years from now. Some popular upgrades worth investing in are adding brick or stone to parts of your home, adding extra windows, or adding an outdoor patio/fireplace.

5. Energy Saving upgrades:
Last but not least, investing in insulating your home will be an upgrade you won’t regret. Sometimes it is not as much fun to spend money on items that do not add to the overall aesthetic of your home, but when you are cozy on a cold, snowy day OR when you open your utility bill you will see these options become worth it! Think about investing in upgraded windows, higher insulation or high- efficiency HVAC equipment & water heaters.
