Your home value can be significantly increased with the proper renovations around the house. Check out some of your best options to do and not do to your home:

Do Make These Renovations   

Enhance the Kitchen

The experts all agree that renovating your kitchen is an uppermost priority. Uprgrading your countertops, sink, cabinets, or knocking down a wall are all great options to improve your kitchen.

Sprinkler System Install

The majority of homeowners would love to have a sprinkler system on their property so they do not have to worry about the maintenance of their lawn. Keep the grass green in your lawn with minimal work.

Avoid These Renovations

Pool

One of the most common mistakes homeowners will make is to install a pool in the backyard. This will create liability issues, ongoing maintenance, and the simple fact you will only be using it primarily during the summer months (in the Washington DC Area).

Recreate Garage

A garage changed into a family or game room can jeopardize selling your home. Many homeowners would like to have a garge stay in tact so they can stow away shovels, trash cans, bikes, cars, snow blowers, etc. Bottom line, keep your garage a garage.

These are just a few of the home renovations you should and should not embark upon. Check out the full list here at MSN Money.
