What is the Best Home Update ROI?

Aug 17, 2023

According to a recent study, a kitchen "refresh"—painting cabinets, installing appliances or countertops, upgrading hardware, etc.—has the highest return on investment of any repair or modification undertaken to a house that is about to sell.

Different renovation or repair initiatives can yield significantly varied returns when it comes to selling a home, according to the analysis created by Curbio Inc. According to the Potomac, MD-based company Curbio, which specializes in pre-listing repairs, updates, and renovations, the Preparing to Sell: 2022 Home Improvement Report examined thousands of renovation projects across 30+ U.S. markets to determine which ones yield homeowners the highest returns when selling.


According to Curbio's analysis, a kitchen "refresh" is the project with the highest return on investment, at 377%. According to Curbio, if a homeowner spends $15,000 updating their kitchen, they may anticipate receiving an additional $71,550 when they sell their property, or a profit of $56,550.

Additional home repair initiatives with high return on investment (ROI) include:

  • Refinishing hardwood floors (348%)
  • Basic listing preparation (297%)
  • Roof replacement (288%)
  • Carpet replacement (280%)

Kitchen Designs for a Better Life

01 Dec, 2023
We are surrounded by stimuli all the time in our world. In today's always connected digital environment, it can be debilitating. It really should come as no surprise that we feel more at ease when we encounter anything in our day-to-day lives that is orderly, balanced, or tidy. When we can move around easily, find what we need logically, and don't have to worry about looking for it, we feel happier. We can all live better when we are organized, and Hardware Resources organizers just make life better. Continue reading to learn about some of the creative ways Hardware Resources is bringing harmony to the disarray of contemporary life. Let’s Organize Drinks The kinds of organizational solutions that people require for their houses are directly influenced by lifestyle trends. Single-use beverage containers have been under increasing pressure from customers in recent years. The unusual sizes, forms, and attachments (straws and lids) of reusable drink containers, such as water bottles, insulated beverage containers, and tumblers, can make them challenging to store. Although traditional rollout drawers can facilitate access to certain objects, they are not the best option because the items have a tendency to move and fall out when the drawer is pulled out. Hardware Resources' Bottle Rollout Organizer is made to make handling and storing these bulky containers simple. Because of its double drawer design, the Bottle Rollout makes it simple to reach the bottom drawer by pushing the top drawer back and out of the way. In addition to the 15-bottle grid, the 21- and 27-bottle organizers contain a partially divided drawer to hold lengthy or bulky goods and a reversible grid system that allows for left- or right-hand arrangement. With a 15-bottle grid that can hold containers up to 4" by 4", the bottle grid system offers the greatest amount of flexibility. For a variety of households, including active families with sports-loving members, environmentally conscious consumers who wish to avoid single-use drinkware, and performers who utilize the bottle rollout for their home bar or beverage area, it is a clever option.

Accessible Kitchen Design Elements

06 Nov, 2023
When people talk about accessibility in the kitchen, they usually think of gadgets that make difficult-to-reach areas easier to access. The pullouts on today's internal cabinet fittings, which make the most of every available inch of space and are specifically made to accommodate things like spices, bottles, cans, plates, silverware, and more, are engineering marvels. However, the demand for safety is one of the primary concerns in accessible design, which extends beyond cabinet interiors. Cooking surfaces, movable countertops, WiFi-enabled ovens and hoods, and non-slip flooring are a few other items that fall under the accessible design umbrella, enabling the kitchen to be used by family members of various abilities. In terms of accessible kitchen design, some recent developments include:  Touch- and voice-controlled faucets and those that provide easy toggling between functions provide ease of use for homeowners. Smart cooking appliances that can be controlled and monitored via app allow the user to adjust temperatures and monitor the cooking process. Non-slip surfaces and pronounced designs provide safety when moving around the kitchen and dealing with depth-perception issues. Refrigerators and faucets with automatic measured dispensing aid in precise work and prevent accidental spills. Interior drawer and cabinet systems deliver more sophisticated operation, with electric push-to-open options and interior LED lighting providing better access and visibility. Induction cooktops stay cool to the touch, providing safer operation when working above the cooktop.
