Sunroom addition
Return on investment: 49%
According to Remodeling, a sunroom addition can cost between $30,000 and $50,000, making it one of the most expensive home upgrades.
Because the value of sunrooms themselves are location- and market-dependent, their returns on investment tend to be higher in temperate southern states than in the four-season north.
Pierce sees sunroom expansion as prohibitively expensive for one reason.
“If it requires putting additional foundation on your home, it’s usually going to be a killer, because foundation work is really expensive.” he says. “I don’t see any scenario where adding foundation to your home is going to pay off.”
