Homeowners Recoup More with Exterior Replacement Projects - Part 4

Upscale fiber-cement siding replacement was judged by REALTORS® as the most cost effective among siding projects, recouping 80% of costs. Among the window replacement projects covered, upscale vinyl window replacements were expected to recoup the most, 72.6% upon resale. Another exterior project, a wood deck addition, tied with a minor kitchen remodel for the fourth most profitable project recouping an estimated 72.8% of costs.

I was surprised to discover that a wood deck addition recouped a higher percentage amount than a composite deck addition. I suppose it is because it is nearly half as much more in cost than regular wood decking, but I thought that the low maintenance factor would make up for the difference. It just goes to show you, that everything boils down to cost.
