How Much Does an Exterior Remodel Cost in Columbus Ohio?

You know the old saying “You never get a second chance to make a first impression” right?

Ask any realtor how this saying translates to the real estate market and their answer will probably be “Curb Appeal!” The importance of a home’s curb appeal in relation to its value is validated in Remodeling Magazine’s Cost vs Value report, as four of the top five returns on investment are for projects relating to a home’s exterior.

So, what does it cost to upgrade your home’s curb appeal or remodel the outside of your home? Calculating the cost of any remodel requires knowing first the design, scope and size of the project and this is especially true for a home exterior remodel. Do you just want to add new doors or windows to upgrade your curb appeal or do you also want to change the architectural details of your home’s exterior? To help you get started planning your next home exterior project, Our Remodel Design Build Team at The Cleary Company Columbus, OH has assembled the following project examples and ballpark costs. We also recommend reviewing the Cost vs Value report mentioned above for additional information on building and remodeling costs in Columbus OH.
