How Paint Can Increase Your Home’s Value
Posted on February 19, 2021
Are you thinking about selling your home one day? Paint is an easy, low-cost way to increase the value in your home. It may seem silly, but a simple coat of paint can work wonders for your property, inside and out! See how the professionals at CertaPro Painters® of Jupiter can transform the look and feel of your home and increase it’s value.
You can hide wear and tear. Your walls develop nicks, cracks, and chips in the paint over time. Hiding this natural wear and tear by painting over it can make the walls look new again. If the cracks are deeper, you may need to do some spackling and sanding before getting out the paintbrush, but in the end, the results will be worth the extra elbow grease.
You can boost your home’s curb appeal. A visibly-worn garage door can deter potential buyers from even giving your home the slightest chance. Replacing your garage door costs about a couple thousand dollars, but you can have a fresh coat of paint applied to your garage door to instantly refresh and renew the look of it. Doing so can help ensure you see a healthy return on investment when you decide to sell.
You can help your home stand out from the competition. The first thing a person notices about your home is the exterior. And first impressions are everything! A fresh coat of exterior paint can refresh the look of your siding, giving your home that “newly-built” look. With that being said, sticking out too much when compared to the color of your neighbors homes can be detrimental to your home’s value.
You can give the most frequented rooms in your home an inexpensive facelift. Painting is an inexpensive way to update your kitchen or bathroom on any budget. If you are working with a few hundred dollars, paint your walls and cabinetry, then replace the kitchen faucet set, older lighting fixtures, and cabinet door handles. Like the kitchen, a minor bathroom remodel will still help you increase your home’s value. If your cabinets aren’t too outdated and just need a bit of a facelift, add a fresh coat of paint or stain to the surface and replace the faucet.
Rather you are selling now or later, keeping up with your home’s interior and exterior paint will only make it easier for you down the road when you do choose to sell it. Boost your home’s value today — contact CertaPro Painters® of Jupiter for interior and exterior painting estimates.
