5 Renovations That Give Great ROI in Wisconsin Homes

Let’s Get Real About ROI

When it comes to remodeling your Wisconsin home, you want more than just good looks; you want value. At Renz Construction, we believe every renovation should improve the way you live while also being a smart investment. If you’re considering a remodel, here are five projects that tend to bring the best ROI (return on investment) for homeowners in Wisconsin.

1. Kitchen Remodels

The kitchen is often called the heart of the home for a reason. Whether you’re gathering for a family meal or entertaining friends, a well-designed kitchen makes a big difference.

  • Upgraded countertops like quartz or granite
  • Custom cabinetry with smart storage
  • Modern, energy-efficient appliances
  • Ambient lighting under cabinets and toe kicks

Not only will you enjoy a more functional space, but kitchens consistently rank as one of the top home renovations for ROI. According to the 2024 Cost vs. Value Report by The Journal of Light Construction, even mid-range kitchen remodels can recoup a significant portion of their cost at resale. If you’ve been thinking about a full remodel, our kitchen remodeling services can transform your space.

2. Bathroom Renovations

Bathrooms may be small, but they pack a punch when it comes to home value. An updated bathroom means better efficiency, comfort, and style. Popular upgrades include:

  • Walk-in showers with custom tile work
  • Double-sink vanities
  • Heated flooring for Wisconsin winters

A well-executed bathroom remodel can deliver a strong return while giving you a spa-like retreat right at home. Explore how Renz can help with your bathroom remodeling.

3. Basement Finishing

An unfinished basement is untapped potential. By finishing the space, you gain additional living area that can serve as a family room, office, or guest suite. Buyers in Wisconsin love the extra usable square footage—especially when it’s designed for comfort and style. A basement renovation not only adds value but also changes how you live in your home.

4. Exterior Updates

First impressions matter. The exterior of your home is the first thing people see, and improvements here can pay off. Think about:

  • New siding for curb appeal and energy efficiency
  • Updated windows to lower utility bills
  • A new deck or outdoor living area for entertaining

Exterior renovations bring strong ROI and can completely change the way your home is perceived. Learn more about how we create lasting curb appeal with our exterior remodeling.

5. Whole-Home Remodeling

Sometimes the smartest move is a complete overhaul. A whole-home remodel allows you to reconfigure your layout, update every room, and create a cohesive design that truly fits your lifestyle. While this is a larger investment, it often brings significant long-term value and makes your home feel brand new.

The Renz Takeaway

At Renz Construction, we don’t believe in cookie-cutter renovations. Every project we take on is custom, specifically built around your needs, your home, and your future plans. The renovations above don’t just give you financial ROI; they improve how you live every single day.
