Recently published in the Remodeling Magazine’s annual “Cost vs. Value Report” are comparisons by region for specific types of repairs and the return on these investments.

In the New England states the best return on money spent when compared to several alternatives were:
Wood or Composite decks in the Additions category
Minor to Major kitchen changes in the Remodel category (followed closely was an attic bedroom)
Siding and Windows in the Replacement category scored as the best use of funds for your return

The national average mirrored the New England states with the four best returns for money spent on repairs:
#1 Siding
#2 Decks
#3 Kitchens
#4 Window replacement
