This year, we’re teaming up with the Carolina Panthers to give one lucky winner a $10,000 Visa gift card to use renovate a room in their house or simply use however they’d like. Because it’s fun to think about the ‘what ifs,’ here are some of the best home improvements projects you could accomplish with $10,000.
Garage door replacement
Not only can you easily accomplish this project for way less than $10,000 but you can also expect to recoup 96% of your investment when it comes time to sell! You can expect to spend about $3,600 on a carriage-style 16 x 7 garage door.
Kitchen remodel
For $10,000 you can pull off a minor kitchen makeover that can easily transform your space.
You could paint, reface cabinet doors, upgrade your sink and even add a new tiled backsplash. If you choose to do the painting on your own, you could have enough left in your budget to add quartz or granite countertops, depending on the amount of square footage of your counters. Going with butcher block for your countertops is great cost-effective option, if your budget won’t allow for quartz or granite.
Even minor touches can go along way: Just look at how one DIY home blogger transformed her space for $1,000!

Bathroom remodel
According to homeguide, a small bathroom remodel will run between $2,500-$15,000 depending on how much you can accomplish yourself and the types of material you choose. Subway tile is extremely affordable and can easily be done yourself, saving a substantial amount of your overall budget. Likewise, you can even reface old cabinet doors with new ones and consider installing budget-friendly luxury vinyl tile for the flooring.
Landscaping
There’s no substitute for a lawn that looks well taken care of. Beyond significantly increasing your home’s overall value, lush landscaping really improves that first-impression factor and makes you the envy of your neighbors. If you’ve been dying to spruce up your lawn, here’s some inexpensive projects you could accomplish for well under $10,000:
- Install a paver pathway and fire pit
- Lay sod
- Install a small to mid size pergola
- Install a drainage system
- Install a stamped concrete patio
Fence
Replacing a dilapidated fence can be accomplished easily for well under $10,000; most homeowners report spending between $800-$8,000 on this project. The cost will fluctuate depending on type of material used, height of fence, how many gates you’d like to instal and length of your fence. While you can certainly enjoy the privacy a fence brings while you live in the home, know that adding a fence is a huge selling factor–especially for those that have pets or kids!
