Which renovation has the best ROI?

In 2026, fiberglass entry-door replacement leads at 100–110% cost recovery (NAR Remodeling Impact Report) — the only sub-$5K renovation to exceed full recovery. Established landscaping recoups 100–150% if 12–24 months matured. Minor kitchen refreshes recoup 85–96%. Attic insulation pays back 1–3 years on operating cost (not resale). Full kitchen and bathroom gut remodels recoup only 60–75%. Pools, sunrooms, and high-end primary-suite additions consistently UNDER-recoup at 40–55%.
