Five Home Upgrades That Deliver Big Returns for

Wisconsin Homeowners

When it comes to upgrading your home, not all renovations are created equal. Some projects simply look nice, while others truly add long-term value. At Badgerland Restoration & Remodeling, we help Wisconsin homeowners make the best investments in their properties — from boosting curb appeal to improving energy efficiency and comfort.

GAF Timberline HDZ Roof Shingle Hunter Green Installed by Badgerland Restoration & Remodeling New London Wisconsin

1. Roof Replacement

Your roof does more than protect your home — it defines your home’s appearance and resale value. A new roof can return up to 60–70% of its cost when it’s time to sell, especially when installed by a GAF Master Elite® Roofing Contractor.
Why it matters: Energy efficiency, improved insulation, and enhanced curb appeal.
Pro tip: Choose high-performance shingles like GAF Timberline HDZ for beauty and protection.

2. Siding Replacement

Faded or damaged siding is one of the first things buyers notice — and replacing it can yield a 75–80% return on investment.
Why it matters: Fresh siding improves insulation, lowers energy bills, and instantly updates your home’s look.
Popular options: Vinyl, steel, or composite siding such as CertainTeed or Norandex lines.

4. Kitchen Remodel

The kitchen is the heart of the home, and an updated design makes a lasting impression.
Why it matters: Functionality, beauty, and lifestyle value.
ROI: Mid-range kitchen remodels typically recover 60–75% of their cost.
What’s trending: White cabinetry, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and modern lighting fixtures.

When Insurance Falls Short

by Jenna Wydeven • 30 April 2025

On April 12, 2022, a severe hailstorm tore through parts of Central Wisconsin, carving a path from south of Waupaca through Weyauwega and into New London and Hortonville. As the storm subsided, it left behind a trail of extensive damage to homes, vehicles, and properties—our phones at Badgerland Restoration & Remodeling in Weyauwega, WI rang nonstop. One of those calls came from a concerned homeowner in Hortonville. They suspected their home had sustained hail damage and asked if we could perform an inspection. Upon arrival, we confirmed what the homeowner feared: their property had suffered significant damage to the standing seam metal roof, windows, deck, and siding. We advised the homeowner to promptly file an insurance claim.
