Summer Remodeling Projects That Add Value to Your Home

Elevate Your Kansas City Home's Curb Appeal and Value

If you’re considering home improvements this summer, you’re not alone—and you’re not wrong. The warm weather is ideal for exterior renovations, and many summertime remodeling projects deliver some of the highest return on investment (ROI) in homeownership.

As a trusted roofing and construction contractor in the Kansas City area, Ryan Construction Systems is here to help you get the most out of your summer remodel. Here are some top projects to consider:

🧱 1. Room Additions: Increase Living Space and Home Value

Adding livable square footage—like a home office, sunroom, or bonus bedroom—is one of the best ways to boost property value. Whether your family is growing or you’re working from home more, an addition makes your space more functional and attractive to future buyers.

Pro Tip: Summer’s dry conditions are ideal for foundational work and framing. And with our Whole House Concept, we ensure your new space matches your existing exterior—including roofing, siding, and windows.

🏠 2. Exterior Upgrades That Deliver High ROI

According to Zillow’s 2023 report, the following exterior projects offer the best returns at resale:

  • Vinyl siding replacement: up to 94.7% ROI 
  • Manufactured stone veneer: over 100% ROI 
  • Steel entry doors and garage doors: often recoup 90-102%

These upgrades dramatically improve curb appeal, reduce maintenance needs, and increase energy efficiency—especially when installed by a certified Kansas City siding contractor like us.

🌞 3. Decks, Patios & Outdoor Living Spaces

Outdoor living is more popular than ever. A professionally built wood deck or patio creates a relaxing space for summer entertaining and adds significant lifestyle and market value.

A well-designed deck can recover up to 75% of its cost, especially in climates like Kansas City’s, where outdoor enjoyment is seasonal and valuable.

Bonus Tip: Consider adding lighting, seating, or covered areas to maximize function and ROI.
