Episode Synopsis

In this episode of From Blueprint to Beautiful, Heather and Michael Francis break down one of the biggest renovation questions homeowners face: Is this investment actually worth it? We explore what “value” really means—financially and emotionally—and reference the 2023 Remodeling Magazine Cost vs. Value Report to highlight which projects deliver the biggest returns, especially here in the Philadelphia region. From garage door replacements to open-concept kitchens, we share the truth about ROI, when it makes sense to splurge, and why emotional satisfaction sometimes outweighs resale value. Whether you're planning a forever home or prepping for resale, this episode will help you make smarter, more strategic renovation decisions. 🔨 Mentioned in this episode: 2023 Cost vs. Value Report (Remodeling Magazine) Feasibility planning with Francis Renovations Why universal design upgrades might not pay off—but still matter 👷‍♀️ Ready to start planning your renovation?
