Too often, homeowners tend to neglect the two rooms that are the most important when they consider renovations – kitchens and bathrooms. The kitchen is where many guests congregate as the host or hostess prepares food or drinks for the evening and every guest eventually must visit the bathroom. According to many experts, an updated kitchen yields a higher return on investment than other home renovations, with some homeowners recouping almost 83 percent of their investment when they sold their home after a kitchen renovation. Although a bathroom renovation yields slightly less return on investment, experts say that homeowners can see as much as 61 percent return on what they spend on a bathroom remodel.
