Thinking about updating your home before you sell, or simply looking for ways to make your space feel newer? Before starting a project, it helps to understand which improvements may deliver the most value.

The 2025 Cost vs. Value Report for Las Vegas shows that some of the strongest returns don’t necessarily come from major renovations. In fact, several exterior improvements can make a significant impact when it comes time to sell.

Las Vegas Projects With the Strongest Returns

Here are some of the top-performing home improvements in Las Vegas:

• Steel entry door replacement: 300.6% ROI
• Garage door replacement: 286.4% ROI
• Manufactured stone veneer: 182.0% ROI
• Wood deck addition: 119.7% ROI
• Fiber-cement siding replacement: 103.0% ROI

Sometimes, improvements that enhance a home’s first impression can deliver a stronger return than larger, more expensive renovations

What About the Kitchen 

A complete kitchen overhaul isn’t always necessary to make an impact. In Las Vegas, a minor kitchen remodel recouped an average of 96.9% of its cost, according to the report.

Strategic updates can give a kitchen a refreshed look without the expense and scope of a major renovation, particularly if selling is on the horizon.

Renovate With Your Goals in Mind 

The right improvement depends on what you want to accomplish. If you’re preparing to sell, projects that improve curb appeal and a home’s overall presentation may be worth prioritizing. If you’re planning to stay for several years, your personal enjoyment and long-term needs may be more important than potential resale value.

Before investing in a project, consider one important question: Are you renovating for resale, or are you renovating for yourself?

If selling is on your horizon, knowing which updates to prioritize is only part of the process. Our Updated Home Enhancement Guide offers additional tips and ideas to help you prepare your property and make a strong impression on potential buyers.
