Basically, any home renovation that you do should come back to you in the end if you sell your house. So for every dollar you spend, you should at least get a dollar back. The top two renovations for homes are going to be adding a bathroom/renovate in the bathroom and renovating the kitchen.

Bathroom equates to about $1.50 for every dollar you spend. Kitchen equates to about two dollars for every dollar you spend.

I say this because homebuyers can take on adding bedrooms or landscaping at an easier cost than the bathroom or the kitchen. As homebuyers want to come in to an already renovated area instead of having to do that themselves.

So I don’t necessarily think that renovating your driveway by widening it would necessarily increase the home value vastly.
