Part One: Smart Upgrades That Boost Home Value
Investing in Your Home With Easy Updates
Your home isn’t just where you live—it’s one of your most valuable investments. Whether you’re planning to sell soon or simply want to enhance your home’s functionality and comfort, making the right improvements can increase your property’s value and appeal.
At Brahler Contracting, we’ve spent over 30 years helping homeowners in Pottsville, PA, and surrounding communities make high-impact home improvements that not only look great but also offer a strong return on investment (ROI).
Take a look at five home improvement projects that offer the best return on your investment, increase curb appeal, and enhance energy efficiency. Part One shares projects for your windows, roofing, and kitchens.
1. Upgrade to Energy-Efficient Windows
Estimated ROI: 70-80%
If your windows are drafty, outdated, or difficult to open, they could be costing you money. Energy-efficient window replacements can lower heating and cooling costs, improve indoor comfort, and enhance curb appeal. A big plus is that new windows will make your home look much better and well kept and increase your home's value.
Let's Check-off Why Window Replacement is a Smart Investment
✔ Lower energy bills with double and triple pane glass insulation.
✔ Boost curb appeal with sleek, modern designs in vinyl, wood, or composite frames.
✔ Improve home security with advanced locking mechanisms.
✔ Increase indoor comfort by reducing drafts, noise, and UV exposure.
If your home still has single-pane or outdated windows, now is the time to upgrade. At Brahler Contracting, we specialize in expert window replacement services in Pottsville and nearby areas. Our team can help you find the perfect windows for your home and will ensure a perfect fit and professional installation.
2. Roof Replacement or Repair
Estimated ROI: 60-70%
Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements. A well-maintained roof boosts curb appeal, prevents costly damage, and increases resale value. If your roof is 15 years old or older, has missing shingles, or shows signs of leaks, it’s time to consider professional repairs or a full replacement.
Let's Check Off Why Roof Upgrades Matter:
✔ Protects your home from storm damage, leaks, and structural issues.
✔ Improves energy efficiency with modern roofing materials like asphalt shingles or metal roofing.
✔ Enhances resale value, making your home more attractive to buyers.
