Cost vs. Value — Detroit 2025

Mid-range project cost and resale data for the Detroit market, sourced from the 2025 Remodeling Cost vs. Value report.

Home Addition

A properly permitted home addition in Detroit permanently adds square footage — local data shows a 93% recoup rate at resale. Engineer-stamped additions pass every inspection and hold value through any market cycle.

Est. Cost$40,000 – $200,000
Resale Value+$16,733

Windows

Drafty windows cost Detroit homeowners every heating season. Energy-efficient replacements cut utility bills, qualify for federal tax credits, and rank among the top features buyers inspect at open houses.

Est. Cost$400 – $1,500
View pros →
Sun Room

A sunroom blurs the line between indoors and outdoors year-round — a feature Detroit buyers increasingly expect. Glass-enclosed additions expand livable space without the full cost of a traditional room addition.

View pros →
Roofing

A new roof in Detroit returns 69% at resale — and prevents far costlier structural damage. Midwest-certified roofers here understand local hail, ice dam, and high-wind code requirements.

Est. Cost$8,500 – $22,000
Resale Value+$20,252
ROI 69%View pros →

Est. Cost$800 – $4,500
View pros →
Siding

Detroit siding replacements return 101% at resale, adding $23,805 in market value. Fiber cement and premium vinyl stand up to Midwest freeze-thaw cycles while dramatically lifting curb appeal.

The Three Risks of the 'Gig Economy'

Mechanic's Liens

In Detroit, if an unverified contractor doesn't pay their supplier, **you** are liable. The supplier can place a lien on your home, forcing you to pay for materials twice.

Mandatory Tear-Downs

If work is done without inspection in Detroit, you may be forced to tear down walls or decks to prove compliance. The cost to 'do it twice' is astronomical.

Property Damage Caps

If a cheap pro drops a tree on your roof, they can't pay for it. You pay the deductible and higher premiums. Verified Pros have General Liability for this exact reason.
