Kitchens and bathrooms get the most attention The kitchen is the room that homeowners remodel most often. If your home has vinyl siding, install veneer (such as precast stone) on the front of the house to instantly improve joint quality. Most of the time, you won't get back all the money you spend on home improvements, but replacing a garage door or adding stone siding to the front of your house will return more than 90% of their costs.
