The document compares the costs and resale values of various home improvement projects in two regions. It shows that most projects recoup between 60-80% of costs through increased home value, with attic conversions, vinyl siding, and wood/vinyl windows performing best. Upscale projects generally see lower returns than mid-range. National averages are usually lower than the Pacific Northwest, likely due to regional housing market differences.
