When you decide to renovate your home’s exterior, it’s often out of necessity. Whether your siding is no longer energy-efficient or your roof is leaking, many homeowners don’t view these projects as “fun.” But, the truth is that exterior investments are generally the most valuable home projects you can do. 

In fact, according to Remodeling Magazine’s 2022 Cost vs. Value Report*, nine of the top 10 best-value home upgrades are exterior projects. Let’s take a closer look at the true value of some of the exterior remodeling services we offer to our customers. 

Vinyl Window Replacement

Average return on investment: 65.4%

No. 4 Best Value Project Overall

Replacing your outdated windows can bring more light into your home and help improve your overall energy efficiency. Best of all, they offer great value. Both vinyl and wood window replacements top the list of the best value projects, with vinyl windows offering a slightly higher value (65.4%) vs wood windows (61.3%). 

Here at Carolina Exteriors, we offer a variety of different window options so you’ll have no problem finding the perfect choice for your home.

Fiber Cement Siding Replacement

Average return on investment: 64.4%

No. 6 Best Value Project Overall

While vinyl and fiber cement siding replacements both made the list, fiber cement has the edge on value. Our team proudly installs James Hardie fiber cement siding, which is North America’s leading manufacturer of the material. 

Our customers love James Hardie siding because of its durability. Unlike other siding materials, HardiePlank is designed to withstand weather extremes and it’s resistant to fire, pests, rot, and more. Beyond that, it’s a low-maintenance material and available in a variety of styles and colors. What’s not to love?

Entry Door Replacement

Average return on investment: 61.7%

No. 8 Best Value Project Overall

As one of the first things that someone will notice about your home, it’s no surprise that replacing your front door offers an excellent return on investment. Replacing your old, rotting, or decaying door with a new model can improve your home’s efficiency and give you an added sense of security.

Here at Carolina Exteriors, we offer fiberglass, steel, and decorative glass/wood doors so you can create a spectacular entrance for your home. 

Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement

Average return on investment: 58.6%

No. 11 Best Value Project Overall

When your roof fails, your whole home is vulnerable to water damage. By replacing your outdated roof with high-quality asphalt shingles, you’ll instantly boost your home’s value and get a great return on investment in the process. 

We install only the best asphalt shingles, offering top-of-the-line products from CertainTeed and Owens Corning, two of the leading roofing companies in the nation. Both come in dozens of different color options for maximum curb appeal.
