How Jame's Hardie fiber cement siding can be a great investment.
Any time you make the decision to invest any amount of money into your home, naturally excluding the inconsequential light bulb or sprinkler head, the obvious question arises: Will you, or will you not, ever see a return on your investment?
We have been asked this honest question many times before: “How much would new HardiePlank fiber cement siding increase the value of my San Antonio home?” This is an important question and we hope to help answer it in this article.
Cost versus value
Remodeling Magazine’s 2014 Cost vs. Value Report compared a number of different home remodeling projects in specific areas of the country. Based on how much the project cost versus the resale value, the final cost-recouped percentage was calculated.
Installing fiber cement siding, such as James Hardie siding, was one of the top items for best return on investment. It cost an average of $13,400, resulting in a resale value of $11,600, or an 87 percent return.
As opposed to other remodeling projects like sunroom additions or home office remodels, new siding for your home has proven to yield a very solid return for many years.
Enhanced curb appeal
A substantial reason for the returns found in siding replacement is its ability to enhance curb appeal. First impressions make a huge impact on a homebuyer’s final decision, so having an attractive exterior is one of the most critical elements to successfully selling one’s house.
Apart from other improvements, such as windows, sidewalks and landscaping, no other single item does quite as much to make the statement that your home has value and presence on your street!
