Which home renovations give the best return?

Jeff ranks projects by how much of their cost comes back at resale. Quick exterior jobs like new siding return around 75 percent, roofing about 60 percent, and doing work yourself with quality products boosts returns. Kitchens and bathrooms aren't top earners, but they still need to match the rest of a renovated house.
