It’s common for homeowners to begin a remodeling job expecting to receive a return in excess of the cost of the remodel. Most homeowners view remodeling as an “improvement”, but the reality is that such projects often only bring the home up to current standards.

A home that meets current standards will be easier to sell when compared with other homes that haven’t been updated, but the increase in value might be less than you expect.
