Spring in Michigan is a popular time for homeowners to tackle improvement projects, but it’s important to focus on upgrades that bring real value without stretching your budget. With today’s rising costs, it is smart to avoid financing and instead focus on what you can afford upfront. Before jumping into cosmetic upgrades, address essential maintenance like roofing, siding, or gutter repairs, as these protect your home and your investment. When you are ready for value-boosting updates, projects like steel entry door and garage door replacements, manufactured stone veneer, and mid-range kitchen remodels offer some of the highest returns. Even a front entry refresh or professional interior painting can make a big impact without a huge expense. Curb appeal projects in particular not only increase home value but also make your home more inviting. While resale value is important, sometimes it is just about making your space feel more like you—practical, refreshed, and uniquely yours. Welcome to The Integrity Team. You belong here.
