I'm selling my home some time in the next 4 years. I have been doing little diy projects around my home that don't cost a lot.
Recently I bought a door that sells at home depot for $500, got it off of craigslist for $100. Installed it myself and had to spend $10 on a can of bondo to fix some minor dents, $30 worth of spray paint,about 16 hours worth of time sanding, priming,painting ,buffing and polishing. The door ended up with a gorgeous mirror finish.
Research on front door installs says the average cost is $1,000. More research says new front doors have a ROI of %80. Now it would sound crazy to say my home just went up in value of $800, however will I recoup the $140 invested when I sell the home?
