If you’re like most San Diego homeowners, you carefully consider any and all home improvement projects you take on—especially those that will cost you a good sum of money to complete. You might have specific projects you’re weighing, such as updating your main bathroom or replacing the deck outside your back door. Or you might be wondering if it makes more sense to improve the look of your home or its functionality.
Another consideration might be prioritizing home improvement projects that add value to your home—in other words, projects from which you will see a return on your investment when you sell your home one day.
Recently, marthastewart.com put out an article that listed the top 11 home improvement projects that will increase the value of your property. Some of them are small improvements, such as adding a bidet toilet to your bathroom, while others are larger projects, like replacing your roof with a thermo-reflective one.
But guess which home improvement project topped Martha Stewart’s list of the value-adding features? Energy-efficient windows and doors!

While not as influential as she once was in the early 2000s, Martha Stewart is still considered an expert in all things related to the home. Her team has no doubt done their research and determined that replacing your home’s windows and doors is a smart home upgrade. The article quotes real estate agent Adam Chahl, who says: “By installing energy-efficient windows and doors, you are not only reducing your carbon footprint but also making your home more attractive to potential buyers. This could potentially increase the value of your home by at least three percent.”
Since the average home price in San Diego is over $1 million, that means that installing new windows and doors in a San Diego home could potentially increase its value by $30,000! That number doesn’t even take into account the monthly energy savings you will experience by making your home more energy efficient! In other words, you can start saving money as soon as your new windows and doors are installed and also get some or all of the money you spend back when you eventually sell your home. Sounds like a good investment to us!
