Curb Appeal ROI: The 2025 Exterior Winners

Curb Appeal ROI: The 2025 Exterior Winners

Data from the 2025 'Cost vs. Value' report is in! In a selective market like Arlington, first impressions are everything.

The Top 3 Upgrades

1. Garage Door Replacement: This remains the #1 ROI project, recouping over 100% of its cost at sale.
2. Stone Veneer Accents: Replacing vinyl with manufactured stone on the front facade dramatically increases 'perceived value' for minimal cost.
3. Modern Front Doors: A high-end steel or fiberglass door in a bold color (think Navy or Charcoal) is the fastest way to signal a 'turnkey' home.

Maggie's Tip
