San Pedro, CA – February 08, 2025 — Silva Construction, a prominent construction and home remodeling company based in Southern California, is offering valuable insights on which home improvements can significantly increase a property's value. The company’s owners, David Clarke and Brenda Silva, bring over four decades of experience to help homeowners make smart investments in their homes.
David Clarke, co-owner of Silva Construction, shared expert advice on the types of renovations that can yield the highest return on investment: “The most valuable home renovations include kitchen and bathroom remodels, exterior upgrades, and the addition of an accessory dwelling unit (ADU).”
Clarke emphasized that kitchen renovations are a top priority for homebuyers, making them one of the most worthwhile investments. “Modern kitchens are highly desirable to homebuyers, making kitchen renovations a worthwhile investment. Similarly, bathroom remodels often recoup a significant portion of their cost. Simple updates such as installing a new vanity, mounting a fresh mirror, or enhancing the lighting can make a big impact,” he noted.
The exterior of a home is also a key factor in increasing its value. Silva Construction recommends several strategic upgrades to enhance curb appeal and appeal to potential buyers. “Upgrading your home’s exterior can also yield strong returns. Replacing the entry door or garage door, installing manufactured stone veneer, or updating siding with vinyl are all smart improvements. A fresh coat of paint can further enhance curb appeal and boost property value,” Clarke explained.
In addition to these interior and exterior upgrades, Clarke highlighted the potential value of adding an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). “An ADU can be a valuable addition, providing potential rental income or extra living space for extended family. Beyond functionality, it can significantly increase your home's market value,” he added.
Silva Construction also recommends a variety of other renovations to maximize home value, such as building a deck, improving energy efficiency, refinishing hardwood floors, and updating lighting fixtures with energy-efficient LED lights. “Other impactful renovations include building a deck, improving energy efficiency, refinishing hardwood floors, and upgrading light fixtures to LED for a modern and cost-effective touch,” Clarke concluded.
