By Rose Meily, for Silicon Valley Community Newspapers
Realtors continue to rate exterior projects among the most valuable home improvement projects. According to the 2014 Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report, homeowners can recoup more than 78 percent of costs upon resale for such exterior projects as an entry door, siding and window replacements.
"A home's curb appeal is always critical since it's the first impression for potential buyers. That's why exterior replacement projects offer the greatest bang for the buck," says National Association of Realtors president Steve Brown.
David Tonna, president of the Silicon Valley Association of Realtors, agrees with Brown. "Exterior projects enhance a home at first glance. For many potential buyers, it can mean the difference between inquiring more about the home or moving on to check out another," says Tonna.
The 2014 report compares construction costs with resale values for 35 midrange and upscale remodeling projects comprising additions, remodels and replacements in 100 markets across the country. This report is produced annually by Remodeling magazine publisher Hanley Wood, LLC, in cooperation with the national real estate group.
For the report each year, agents are asked to provide their insights into local markets and buyer home preferences within those markets.
Realtors judged a steel entry door replacement as the project expected to return the most money, with an estimated 96.6 percent of costs recouped upon resale. This exterior project is consistently the least expensive in the report, costing little more than $1,100 on average.
Eight of the top 10 most cost-effective projects nationwide in terms of value recouped are exterior projects. A wood deck addition came in second with an estimated 87.4 percent of costs recouped upon resale.
Two different siding replacement projects were among the top 10. Fiber- cement siding is expected to return 87 percent of costs, while vinyl siding is expected to return 78.2 percent of costs.
Two garage door replacements were also on the top list. A midrange garage door replacement is expected to return 83.7 percent. An upscale garage door replacement is expected to recoup 82.9 percent of costs.

Exterior projects rated most valuable home improvements
Phoenix, Arizona (PRWEB) February 13, 2014
Phoenix, Arizona Temperatures might be cooler right now, but before too long, it will be the dead of summer again and cooling the home will be a major priority. Air conditioning in Phoenix is one of the best ways to cool a home, but it is not the only option. Its a good thing too: air conditioning is one of the most expensive energy drains on a homeowners budget. As nice as it might feel to walk into a cool home after a long day out in the summer heat, that comfortable coolness will cost a pretty penny.
How can homeowners cool their homes without maxing out on air conditioning costs? There are several options. Remember, these options do not need to be used instead of air conditioning (though thats an option). They are meant to supplement air conditioning to achieve the most efficient cooling in a home.
Ideal Options
First on the list are options for people who are starting from scratch. In an ideal world, homeowners can create their perfect homes with an eye toward saving on cooling costs. They can situate their home on the plot of land at just the right angle to prevent the sun from warming certain rooms too much during the day. They can install state-of-the-art ceiling fans, add tile floors that keep cool, and invest in the most energy efficient air conditioning unit available. They can even choose home dcor items that help keep the house cool. Unfortunately, not everyone has a budget like this or the opportunity to begin their home cooling plans from scratch. What are some of the more practical options to help homeowners avoid overuse of air conditioners?
Insulation
Most people think of insulation as a winter chore. Though it is important for keeping heat in a space, it is also important for keeping a space cool. Every bit of cold air blown from an air conditioner should stay inside of the house. If any is seeping out through holes near the doors and windows or elsewhere, it is creating a less efficient environment. Phoenix homeowner should weather strip the homes to seal doors and windows to keep as much air in as possible when the HVAC system is operating.
It is also important to make sure the ducts are well-insulated. If air is escaping through cracks and seams in the duct system, it might be cooling areas of the home that are not meant to be cooled. For instance, how much air escapes into the super hot attic during the summer when the air conditioning is running? Aeroseal Phoenix can seal the duct system, which can saves hundreds of dollars each year on energy costs.
Fans
Installing fans in the home can also make a big difference. In addition to traditional fans intended to circulate air, ceiling fans can pull warm air up and push cooler air down into the living space. An attic fan is also an efficient way to cool a home. These heavy duty fans create an efficient system of cooling that costs much less than air conditioning.
