Lansing MI Siding Replacement: Customer Success Story
Hear from our neighbor, Frank, about his experience with Community Construction, the premier siding contractors near me in Lansing.
"Actually, I hurt myself 16 months ago on a construction project right here and have been unable to finish it up myself. And I called Community and they came out to give me an estimate, and the people at Community decided to go ahead and do this for me—from a company that didn't have to help me out at all. So when you need something done, and you want true, honest people that are local, call Community."

Building Value in Michigan’s Climate: The 2026 Master Guide
Every homeowner in Michigan eventually faces the same dilemma: "Should I prioritize the roof or the kitchen?" or "Will a new deck add as much value as a bathroom update?" In the Michigan real estate market, the answer isn't just about aesthetics—it is about protecting your equity against the elements.
As leading home improvement contractors, Community Construction has analyzed project data across West and Mid-Michigan to create the 2026 Michigan Home Renovation Cost & Value Index. Unlike national averages that skew toward warm climates, our data reflects the reality of the "Freeze-Thaw" zone. We know that in Michigan, a leaking roof destroys value faster than a dated kitchen, and energy-efficient windows pay dividends that standard "curb appeal" updates cannot match.
This master dataset compares the Installed Cost, Expected Lifespan, and Return on Investment (ROI) for the top five major home renovations we perform. Whether you are preparing for a sale or building your "forever home," use this index to allocate your budget where it matters most: balancing immediate lifestyle comfort with long-term structural protection.
2026 Michigan Home Renovation Cost vs. Value Index
| Renovation Project | Avg. Price Range (Mid-Range) | Lifespan (MI Climate) | ROI (Resale Value) | Primary Benefit |
| Roof Replacement (Asphalt) | $12,000 – $22,000 | 20–50 Years | High (60-65%) | Critical Structural Defense |
| Siding Replacement (Fiber Cement) | $18,000 – $30,000 | 30–50 Years | Very High (75-80%) | Top Curb Appeal & Protection |
| Kitchen Remodel (Major) | $35,000 – $75,000+ | 20–30 Years | Moderate (55-60%) | Lifestyle & Daily Usage |
| Bathroom Remodel (Universal) | $15,000 – $25,000 | 20–30 Years | High (65-70%) | Resale Demand & Comfort |
| Window Replacement (Vinyl) | $800 – $1,200 / opening | 30–50 Years | High (70-75%) | Energy Efficiency (Heat Loss) |
| Deck Addition (Composite) | $15,000 – $38,000 | 25–40 Years | Moderate (65%) | Outdoor Living Expansion |
The Verdict: Protection First, Luxury Second
The 2026 data points to a clear strategy for Michigan homeowners: Exterior envelope improvements yield the highest financial returns. Projects like Siding (James Hardie) and Windows offer a "double dividend"—they increase home value immediately while lowering monthly energy bills and preventing weather-related damage.
However, for "Lifestyle Value," the Kitchen and Bathroom remain the kings of satisfaction. While a kitchen remodel may cost more upfront, it is the single most impactful change for your daily life.
Our Recommendation: If your roof or siding is nearing the end of its life (20+ years), prioritize exterior remodeling to secure your investment. If your shell is secure, invest in a Master Bathroom or Kitchen update to maximize your enjoyment and resale appeal in the competitive Michigan market.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Which renovation adds the most value to a Michigan home? A: In terms of percentage of cost recouped, Manufactured Stone Veneer and Fiber Cement Siding (like James Hardie) consistently offer the highest ROI in Michigan, often returning over 75-80% of their cost at resale due to their boost in curb appeal and durability against our winters.
Q: How does winter affect home renovation timelines in Michigan? A: Interior projects (Kitchens, Bathrooms, Basements) can be done year-round with no delay. Exterior projects (Roofing, Siding, Decks) are weather-dependent. While we can install roofs in winter, extreme cold or heavy snow may extend the timeline. We recommend scheduling exterior work for Spring-Fall, while reserving Winter for your interior remodeling.
