Yes, marble floors do increase home values. In fact, if you install marble flooring in your home, you can expect to double your investment. Homebuyers love marble, like other types of stone flooring, because it’s timeless, beautiful, wears well, and is considered a luxury product. Marble is expensive to install, but if your house and location attract buyers looking for luxurious, upscale vibes, adding marble flooring can only raise your property value and give you a great return on your investment.

Yes, a well-maintained gazebo can increase your property's value and marketability. The most appealing gazebos to potential buyers are typically large, well-designed, and constructed from high-quality, durable materials. Extra features like built-in seating or electrical outlets can also be attractive. Conversely, small, flimsy, or run-down gazebos are unlikely to add value. While a gazebo can be a positive feature, it generally offers a lower return on investment compared to a deck. It's also worth noting that professional landscaping, in general, can increase a home's property value by up to 15%.
