When it comes to renovating your home, there are many factors that influence the decision about where to invest your time and money. Some renovations are more impactful than others and add more value than the initial effort and cost. We call this a good ROI – or return on investment.
ROI isn’t just about increased monetary value. Quality of life can be boosted by some renovations and in times where we’re spending more and more time in our homes, we think there’s a lot of value in that, too.
In this post, the renovation experts at Renovaction will share their insights about how 3 particular home renovations add a lot of value to homes:
1. Insulated Siding
2. Metal Roofs
3. Decks

Insulated Siding
Insulated siding not only looks great, it performs great and adds a lot of value to your home. Also called “foam backed siding” you’ll see the immediate difference between crisp and clean insulated siding from traditional vinyl siding with it’s tell-tale hollow and rounded profile.
Upgrading to insulated siding adds a lot of monetary value to your home. Some of factors that contribute to the strong ROI include:
- Durability – no more fading, cracking, warping
- Energy Efficiency – lower your energy bills with a higher R factor and dampness barrier
- Aesthetics – richer colours, crisp profiles and unique textures provide a huge boost to your curb appeal

Metal Roofs
Choosing to lay a metal roof over your old shingled roof is a great way to increase the value of your home. Whether you’re staying in your home or getting ready to list, metal roofs have a very high ROI in the short and long-term. Here’s why:
- Energy Efficiency – metal roofs can be installed over your current roof and add up to 25% more insulating properties
- Longevity – metal roofs last for 40-70 years compared to traditional asphalt shingles that need to be replaced every 8-10 years
- Aesthetics – almost unlimited colour, shape and texture combinations make the new metal roofs really beautiful
Homebuyers are becoming more and more aware of the added value that metal roofs bring to a property in terms of monthly energy savings and long-term replacement costs, in particular. If you’re in the market for a new roof, let’s have a talk about metal roofing choices for your home and what it could mean to additional comfort now, and significant profits when it comes time to sell.
Decks
With the staycation becoming more and more necessary during the public health travel restrictions, the value of a functional and attractive deck has increased exponentially to homeowners. Whether you want to add another outdoor space, or add some luxury and elegance to the one you have, a deck is a great investment on all fronts.
Some trends we’re seeing in the Ottawa area add significant ROI to decking projects include:
- composite materials instead of wood only
- multiple deck board colors in a deck build
- unique inlays as focal points
- modern looking wide planks
- sleek and seamless railings
- well designed lighting
- outdoor kitchens
- integrated deck and patio levels
- built-in plumbing and hookups for fire and water features
