Thinking of putting your Burlington home on the market? The right renovations can significantly increase your resale value and attract more buyers.

Here are five high-impact upgrades that Burlington homeowners can make before listing

— with insights from the team at Building Dreams Contracting.

1. Kitchen Upgrades

A modern, functional kitchen is a huge selling point. Consider:

New cabinets or refacing existing ones
Quartz countertops
Upgraded appliances
Better lighting and storage

A well-designed kitchen helps your listing stand out and adds real value.

2. Bathroom Remodels

Bathrooms also have high ROI. Simple updates include:

Replacing outdated tile
Installing modern vanities
Upgrading fixtures and lighting
Adding luxury touches like heated floors

Burlington buyers love spa-like bathrooms — they’re an investment that pays off.

3. New Flooring

Worn or outdated flooring can turn buyers away. Options we recommend:

Engineered hardwood
Luxury vinyl plank
Updated tile

Neutral, durable flooring boosts your home’s appeal and shows well in listing photos.

Modern kitchen with stainless steel fridge, black and white cabinets, oven, microwave, and sink. Bright lighting enhances sleek design.

4. Curb Appeal

First impressions matter. Exterior improvements that add value:

New front doors
Repainting or updating siding
Modern house numbers and lighting
Simple landscaping upgrades

Burlington homeowners often overlook this, but curb appeal can make a big difference.

5. Basement Finishing

Finishing your basement adds valuable square footage. Buyers love the flexibility — extra bedrooms, rec rooms, offices, or in-law suites.

Our team can design a functional, finished space that attracts buyers and boosts offers.

Sleek kitchenette with black tiles, a shelf holding wine bottles, and a black countertop with a gold faucet. Tray with decanter and glasses.
