Depending on your budget, you can install anything from Pre made Formica (starting under $300) to Granite (starting around $3,000). Many appraisers agree that the kitchen is a home’s focal point. An investment in your kitchen is not going to go unnoticed.

3. Tile Floors
Tile floors are a great investment, especially when it comes to long-term value. They hold up to traffic and can last a century if installed correctly. Just like countertops, there is myriad styles and price-ranges that can match the needs of almost any homeowner.
4. Replacement Windows
While initial the initial cost of new windows can put a damper on your wallet, they really are a great investment. Many new replacement windows available today are double or even triple pain, and make a big impact on your utility bill.
