Add More Value to Your Home by Upgrading Your Bathroom or Kitchen's Plumbing

If you’re a homeowner, then you’ve likely heard about how certain types of remodels - namely, kitchen and bathroom plumbing remodels - can add value to your home. But do you know why these types of remodels increase your home’s value? And did you know there’s another benefit to these types of remodels? Let’s take a closer look at why plumbing remodels will increase the value of your home, along with an often overlooked reason why these models are so appealing.

Why Bathroom and Kitchen Plumbing Remodels Increase Value
There is no singular reason why both bathroom and kitchen plumbing remodels are considered valuable to your home. The following are three key reasons why these types of remodels are considered particularly attractive in regards to increasing the monetary value of any home.

Bathrooms are Deal Breakers for Potential Buyers
Bathrooms can be serious deal breakers for potential buyers. If a home doesn’t have enough bathrooms or if the bathrooms are outdated, they may just pass on the home. 

For example: Let’s say your home has a large basement, but the bathroom area in the basement is essentially an unfinished room with a toilet and nothing else. Practically any buyer will look at these lack of a proper bathroom and pass. 

However, if you had remodeled the basement bathroom to include a finished aesthetic, a toilet and sink - and maybe even a compact stand-up shower - then the buyer would have likely not passed. Additionally, if you had a finished remodeled bathroom in the basement, you could likely get more money for your home overall. So with that said, it may be worth it to finish an unfinished bathroom or remodel an outdated bathroom in your home prior to putting it on the market. 

Kitchen Remodels are Considered an Affordable Luxury Upgrade for Buyers
Kitchens are an integral part of any home due to the fact that the vast majority of homeowners are going to be in their kitchen during a significant portion of the day. Therefore, it is important for kitchens to be updated and aesthetically pleasing whenever possible. One of the great things about kitchen remodels is that they are often cost-effective while providing a high “reward” in terms of buyer appeal. 

For example, swapping out an old sink with a brand new modern sink is not significantly expensive, but it will significantly improve the overall look of your kitchen. In turn, this will improve the kitchen’s value in the eyes of potential buyers.

The Hidden Benefit of Bathroom and Kitchen Plumbing Remodels
Now that you know how plumbing remodels can add to your home’s monetary value, it’s time to talk about that hidden benefit that most people don’t consider when they choose plumbing remodels in the kitchen or bathroom. That benefit? Comfort and fun for you, the homeowner!

For example, let’s say you install a nice large soaking tub in  your bathroom. Yes, this makes your home more appealing to homeowners if you ever decide to sell. But more importantly, you can now enjoy a relaxing evening soak!
