New windows are just some of the ways to capitalize on your remodeling ROI.

The cost of home remodeling has dropped 10 to 15 percent in the past five years, paving the way for low-cost construction for San Diego homeowners. It goes without saying that remodeling is one of the best ways to increase your homes curb appeal in addition to bolstering its value.

Replacement projects are really strong because theyre cheap and they make the house look good immediately. If you get new windows, new siding and replace the front door, the house looks great. It sells faster and for more money, says one expert according to MSN Real Estate.

Despite the positive sentiments associated with remodeling, some investments have eroded in payback according to experts, with some returns equaling less than 57 percent after the sale of the home. Thats why its essential to know how to use your money wisely when remodeling your home.

When it comes to the best financial decisions for your home, here are the top 10 construction projects to consider according to MSN Real Estate.

1. Replace exterior siding. Upscale fiber cement is one of the most elegant and cost-effective choices for home exteriors. Siding pays goes miles to improve the curb appeal of your home.

2. Replace entry doors. Nothing makes a first impression quite like a beautiful entry way and door. Replacing old doors and retro-fitting a patio can make a house look like a home.

3. Attic remodel. If you have the space, an attic remodel can add additional square footage to your home. Attic remodels appeal to families who may use the space for an extra bedroom or play area for the kids.

4. Minor kitchen remodel. Sometimes, all a kitchen needs is a fresh face to shine, especially when youre trying to sell your home quickly. A minor kitchen remodel will generally consist of new countertops, sink, faucets and appliances.
