Easy fixes include touching up sinks, toilets, tubs and anything with surfaces in new porcelain and ceramic - and get up to 78% in returns for this bathroom upgrade. Build a wood deck. This not will not only add "extra space" to your home, it also acts as a nice transition from indoors to outdoors. Wood, as opposed to other materials, reaps the most return on investment when is comes to decks. Re-paint. A coat of new color is a quick to change the feel of the interior or exterior of your home. Hiring a professional can end up costing a few thousand dollars, though many prefer to do-it-yourself.

The most costly of all renovations, it's the one that people dread most - though done right, it can give the most return.
