Typical sweat equity projects on the exterior of a home that can raise the actual value and “curb appeal” for a house are, landscaping and water features, or adding exterior decks, fences, or walkways. Interior projects that usually increase the value of a home are minor kitchen and bathroom remodels, or adding tile flooring.
