Top 5 Renovation Projects That Boost Home Value in Manitoba (2025 Edition)

Thinking about renovating your home but not sure where to start?

Whether you’re preparing to sell, refinance, or simply want to invest in your home’s future, not all renovations are created equal. In 2025, smart Manitoba homeowners are focusing on upgrades that combine function, style, and solid return on investment (ROI).

At H-Reno, we’ve helped dozens of clients turn basic homes into high-value properties—and we’re breaking down the top 5 renovation projects that deliver the biggest bang for your buck in Manitoba.


🔨 1. Kitchen Remodeling

Estimated ROI: 70–85%

The kitchen is still king when it comes to boosting property value. Buyers and appraisers alike put serious weight on a modern, functional kitchen.

Top upgrades in 2025:

  • Open-concept layouts
  • Quartz or butcher block countertops
  • Soft-close drawers and pull-out organizers
  • Matte black or brushed gold fixtures
  • Energy-efficient appliances

Tip from H-Reno: Focus on layout and storage first, then upgrade finishes for visual impact.


🛁 2. Bathroom Upgrades

Estimated ROI: 65–80%

A tired bathroom can tank the appeal of your home—while a spa-like upgrade can make it shine. And with today’s smart features, you can mix luxury with practicality.

Trending features this year:

  • Walk-in showers with frameless glass
  • Heated floors and towel racks
  • Floating vanities and backlit mirrors
  • Low-flow toilets and water-saving fixtures

Bonus ROI boost: Add a second bathroom in homes with only one to significantly increase market value.


🧱 3. Basement Finishing or Suite Conversion

Estimated ROI: 75–100%

In Winnipeg and surrounding areas, finishing your basement is more than just a comfort upgrade—it can be a revenue-generating investment.

Consider:

  • Legal basement suite for rental income
  • Home office, gym, or media room
  • In-law suite for multigenerational living

Permits & compliance: H-Reno ensures your basement renovation follows local building codes and fire safety standards—so you can rent it out worry-free.


🚪 4. Entryway & Curb Appeal Enhancements

Estimated ROI: 50–70%

First impressions count. Simple improvements to your home’s exterior can greatly increase perceived value and buyer interest.

Quick wins:

  • New front door (steel or solid wood)
  • Modern exterior lighting
  • Smart locks and doorbell cameras
  • Fresh siding or paint touch-ups
  • Interlocking stone or stamped concrete walkway

Landscaping tip: Pair your reno with low-maintenance plants or sod for an affordable exterior glow-up.


🛠️ 5. Garage Upgrades & Additions

Estimated ROI: 60–80%

In Manitoba’s harsh winters, a finished or heated garage is a huge selling point. It can serve as a workshop, storage, or even be converted into a rental unit or guest suite.

Popular upgrades:

  • Insulated garage doors
  • Overhead storage or slatwall systems
  • Durable epoxy flooring
  • Exterior-facing windows for natural light

Garage conversions: H-Reno can help turn your underused garage into a functional living space, office, or studio.


💰 Bonus: Renovations to Avoid (Low ROI)

Not every upgrade pays off equally. Some renovations look great but do little for resale value. Use caution with:

  • Luxury upgrades far above neighborhood standards
  • Swimming pools (high maintenance in Manitoba)
  • Overly customized features (bold wall textures, extreme layouts)

We’ll guide you through what makes sense for your home and your market.
