While sheds are most certainly helpful for most homeowners, unfortunately, sheds do not add value to a home or property in the traditional sense. However, if the home has limited storage or garage space, having a shed to store things like decorations or lawn equipment can certainly be a positive if you want to sell.

Yes, a new roof will add value to your home, often providing a return on investment (ROI) of between 60% and 70%. Not only will a new roof boost curb appeal, but savvy homebuyers will also know that a new roof means they won’t have to worry about roof leaks and related damage for years after closing. They’ll also know that they’ll save money by potentially having decades before they need to worry about paying for repairs or replacement.

Some of the home repairs with the highest ROI that can improve appraised value include exterior paint, new exterior doors, new windows, landscaping, kitchen and bathroom renovations, new flooring, new interior paint, finishing a basement, home additions that add to the square footage, and replacing major components, like the roof, heating and cooling equipment, and the water heater. Upgrades to home energy efficiency are also a big hit with buyers and can add significantly to value, as are smart home integrations.

Foundation cracks won’t always affect your appraised value. All foundations crack due to normal settlement, so hairline cracks that aren’t leaking or uneven from side to side are unlikely to have an impact on your appraisal. Structural cracks, on the other hand, often lead to a reduced appraised value, especially if the underlying problem will cause the issue to worsen over time.
