Easy Home Improvement Ideas to Increase the Value of Your Home
Paint
One of the easiest and most effective ways to increase the value of your home is to paint. The return on investment with a simple paint job is worth every penny. A fresh paint job is one of the first thing buyers notice when searching for a new home. Giving rooms a face lift and using the right kind of paint to open the space in the house can make a huge difference to a potential buyer.

Deep Clean
A simple deep cleaning can significantly increase your home’s value. Nothing is a bigger turn off to a potential buyer than a dirty, cluttered home. Taking some time to organize and throw out the junk will greatly impact the look and feel of your home. A clean home makes for an excellent first impression.
Update Concrete Floors
Garage and patio floors can get an attractive and practical new look by applying epoxy or polyurea floor coatings. Floor coatings are an affordable and efficient way to drastically improve the look and functionality of a concrete surface. New floors can increase the asking price of a home and make the floors easier to maintain and clean.
Be sure to check out our floor coatings pages on patios, basements, and garage floors for more information and examples.
Doormat
This is probably the cheapest and easiest way to make a difference. The culmination of each little detail will ultimately create the impact that will impress potential buyers and there is no simpler way to do that then having a fresh, clean doormat.
New Appliances
Having updated appliances will make a big difference on house resale. Buyers look for smart, eco-friendly, and modern appliances. Refrigerators with French doors, built-in water and ice dispensers have the best return on investment. Built-in stoves and high-efficiency, front-loaded washers with matching dryers are also top choices for maximum effect.
Pressure Wash (home, driveway, walkways, patio)
Pressure wash your home’s exterior, the walkway, driveway, and the patio. The immaculate look of a fresh pressure washing job will dazzle potential buyers giving an immediate advantage over the look of dirt and grime that has built up over time. Pressure washing regularly can maintain the overall integrity and longevity of your home. It is maintenance well worth the time and labor.
Increase Space
It is a commonly known fact that increasing space will increase the value of your home. This can be achieved by finishing your basement, renovating your attic, or building a deck. You can also create space by rearranging or removing furniture from a room. This is an effective way to open the space to be received as more appealing to a potential buyer.
Smart Technology
Investing in smart technology is a sure-fire way to increase the value of your home. Smart refrigerators/washers/dryers, smart HVAC systems, fans, smart security locks, alarm systems/cameras, and smart thermostats are a few examples of technology that can command a higher price from a buyer. These devices are increasingly becoming an integral part of the modern household and for good reason. They make day to day living simpler and more efficient. In a world, where most modern conveniences are at your fingertips, it is obvious why upgrading to smart tech would be a valuable asset in your home.
