If you're a landlord in Baltimore County, MD or Harford County, MD, you know that standing out in the rental market takes more than just a good location. Smart renovations can make your property more appealing to tenants and drive up rental income. At KRS Property Management, we help local property owners maximize returns — and we’ve seen firsthand what upgrades pay off.

Here are the top renovations that deliver real value👇

1. Kitchen Updates 🍽️

A tired kitchen is a deal-breaker. You don’t need a full remodel — small changes like:

  • New countertops (granite or quartz)

  • Updated cabinet hardware

  • Stainless steel appliances

can make a huge difference in how your rental shows.

ROI Tip: Stick with neutral tones and durable materials. Tenants want clean, modern, and functional.

2. Bathroom Improvements 🚿

Bathrooms matter — a lot. Quick fixes like:

  • New vanities

  • LED lighting

  • Updated fixtures

add polish and functionality. If your tile is old or stained, consider resurfacing or replacing it.

3. Fresh Paint & Flooring 🎨🧹

A fresh coat of paint and clean, modern flooring are essential. Go with:

  • Neutral grays, whites, or taupe for walls

  • Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring — it’s affordable, waterproof, and stylish

These updates instantly brighten your space and reduce turnover downtime.

4. Energy Efficiency Upgrades 💡

Tenants love lower utility bills. Smart upgrades include:

  • Energy-efficient windows

  • LED bulbs

  • Smart thermostats

Bonus: You may qualify for local rebates or tax incentives.

5. Curb Appeal 🌳

First impressions count. In Baltimore and Harford County, a clean exterior can attract high-quality renters. Consider:

  • Power washing

  • New house numbers

  • Landscaping upgrades

  • Outdoor lighting

6. Washer & Dryer Units 🧺

In-unit laundry is a game-changer. If your space allows, adding a washer and dryer can justify a rent bump of $50–$100/month or more.
