Top Fix & Flip Renovations That Add Value Fast

Goodwin Capital Solutions • January 31, 2026

Not all renovations provide the same return. Some upgrades dramatically increase a property’s value, while others eat into your profits. The most successful investors focus on high-ROI improvements that attract buyers and sell homes quickly.


Here’s a guide to the best fix & flip renovations to maximize profit.

1. Kitchens Sell Homes

A modern, attractive kitchen is one of the biggest selling points. Consider:


  • Updated cabinets
  • New countertops
  • Stainless steel appliances
  • Fresh paint and hardware


Even modest upgrades can significantly increase value.

2. Bathrooms Create Appeal

Buyers love clean, updated bathrooms. High-impact upgrades include:


  • New tile
  • Updated vanities
  • Modern lighting
  • Re-glazed tubs

3. Flooring Makes a Strong First Impression

Durable, modern flooring—especially LVP—gives buyers a clean, uniform look. Avoid mixing floor types throughout the home.

4. Curb Appeal Matters

Your flip only gets one chance at a first impression. Boost curb appeal with:


  • Fresh paint
  • Landscaping
  • Repaired walkways
  • Updated lighting

5. Paint: The Cheapest High-ROI Upgrade

Fresh interior and exterior paint can transform a property at a low cost.

6. Energy-Efficient Improvements

Buyers appreciate upgrades like:


  • New windows
  • Better insulation
  • Smart thermostats


These features also help justify higher asking prices.
