Not all home improvement projects are created equal. Some are labors of love that are so tailored to your needs that their worth lies in your own happiness rather than in their dollar value. Sometimes, though, you want to know that you're spending your money on a project that will pay you back later by raising your home's value and helping you turn a profit when you sell.

Luckily, you don't have to guess which projects will bring you the biggest return on investment. According to Remodel Magazine’s annual survey, adding insulation is the only project that you’ll recover all your costs on – it has over 100% ROI. Here’s why.

Attic Insulation: A Top Investment

Across the United States, adding a layer of fiberglass insulation to your attic brings an average return on investment (ROI) of 116 percent, making it the only project on the list that will bring you a profit over time. There are three big reasons for this:

  1. Insulation Saves You Money Over Time: Air sealing and attic insulation can save you hundreds of dollars on fuel costs each year, and the savings add up whether you're heating a home in the winter or cooling it in the summer. The money you save will pay for the insulation project in full in a few years, leaving you to profit from the upgrade after that.

  2. Insulation Attracts Savvy Buyers: Minnesota home buyers are keenly aware just how important it is to have a well-insulated home, so a recent upgrade to this important infrastructure is a major selling point when you put your house on the market.  

  3. Rebates Make the Project Even More Affordable: Minnesota offers incentives to homeowners to lower their carbon footprint by insulating their homes. Rebates are available for air sealing and insulation, so you'll instantly be paid back on your initial investment.
