True from a renters aspect but as far as home value it adds none. Doors, windows, roof, boiler are all things that a house needs. Although updating and painting improves the likely hood of a sale none will add extra value to a home that is being marketed. Now on the other side, needing a new roof, boiler, paint job can reduce the chances of getting top dollar for a house being sold.
I always thought differently until a realtor explained this to me. It does make sense. Now interior upgrades will add value, especially kitchens and baths.
