Every year Remodeling Magazine releases its Cost Vs. Value Report, which provides data on how 22 popular remodeling projects are retaining their value throughout the country. We like to report the findings here on our blog for the local Grand Rapids market and compare it to the national results. For 2022, we found that the top 5 projects were in identical order to 2021s results for our local market and they closely follow the national averages. To arrive at the average job costs, the studies are broken down by geographic area and look at the average cost to complete each project type by a professional remodeler. Here are the findings from this year's Cost Vs. Value Report.

When it comes to a house, its hard not to judge a book by its cover. That first glance you get when you drive up to a home is heavily influenced by the type and condition of your siding and when its not looking good the curb appeal score goes way down. Besides looking nice, your siding has another important job to do and that’s protecting your home. Next to the roof, it’s your main defense against the outside elements so it’s important to know the pros and cons of popular siding options when you are ready to upgrade. Let’s take a look at your options.
