The upgrades that give back

Looking to put your home on the market soon? A small investment repairing and upgrading some features may reap huge financial rewards.
Additional bathroom

This may be the best home improvement you can make.
After all, can we ever have enough bathrooms?
According to Steve Frellick, licensed contractor, a one-to-one bedroom/bathroom ratio is ideal.
“An additional bathroom creates greater functionality of a home, while also increasing resale value.”
Not sure where you could possibly squeeze in an additional bathroom?
There are usually a variety of hidden opportunities in homes.
This may be an underutilised closet, space in the basement, or “stealing” a little space from a bedroom or hallway, says Frellick.
Update bathroom tiles

Replace worn out tile with subway tile for a classic look that will appeal to most tastes, says Frellick.
If you have more wiggle room in your budget, replace a water-hogging toilet with a slimline, low-flush model.
