Thinking of a home improvement in 2020?
Maybe you would like a new kitchen, or bathroom, or you decided it's time to build that sunroom you've always wanted. Then you may want to know which projects will give you the best return on investment this year, when it comes to resale time a few years down the road.
It used to be that a kitchen upgrade was the best investment you could make. But a new kitchen is getting more and more expensive (an upscale kitchen with granite and high end appliances can now costs more than $50,000).
And thanks to Chip and Joanna, the Property Brothers, and other HGTV stars, other upgrades now top the investment list.

Projects with the best return

Remodeling Magazine says the projects with the best return on your dollar for 2020 are:

• Manufactured stone veneer in front of your house: a 97% percent return (real stone is better, but does not return as much of your money due to the high cost).
• A new garage door: you'll get 94% of your money back at resale.
• A modest kitchen remodel: you can get back 78% of your money if you don't go overboard.

Other upgrades bringing top dollar at resale time:

• A wood deck.
• A new front door. Bonus points for the trendy Craftsman style.
• Wood siding replacement.
• Window replacement.
• Midrange bathroom remodel.
• New roof.
