Are you about to put your home up for sale? Before you have your property listed, there are a few professional painting projects that you should consider tackling to make your house stand out. Our professional painters at CertaPro Painters of Pasadena can help you increase your home resale value through our trusted painting services in your local community. Below are a few of our best tips for preparing your home for the real estate market.

Repaint The Exterior Of Your Home.

A great part of your home to start with is its exterior and its “curb appeal”. The exterior of your home is what your potential buyer will see when they arrive at your place. Without an exterior repaint, they might lose interest in your property. Each extra project that a potential buyer sees is a potential deterrent from selling your home.

The “ingredients” for curb appeal, in order of importance, are basically this: The style of the house, the color and appearance of the house, the landscaping, the condition of the roof, and the condition of the driveway.

This is what a buyer sees before they even enter the house. You can’t really change your house style but of the remaining ingredients, the one with the most immediate visual impact is the color and appearance of the house.

Update Your Deck With Painting Or Staining.

If your home has an outdoor entertainment area, trellis, or deck, this is a great selling point for your property. To really make this relaxing space stand out, you should consider having a fresh stain or coat of paint applied. Once this project has been completed, you can stage the area with a few pieces of patio furniture. This will help your future buyer to really envision themselves and their family living and entertaining in the space.

Our painting contractors can also provide you with a power washing service to remove any mold or dirt from your house or deck.

Have Your Kitchen Cabinets Painted.

Buyers tend to focus on the kitchen a great deal these days. Short of ripping out all the cabinets and replacing them at great expense, you can simply repaint them for a more modern look. A small and cost-effective way to make a statement in this area of your home is with a pop of color.

Our painters can make this part of your home feel extra inviting with our innovative cabinet painting services. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions about this type of painting project, our team is happy to help!

Refresh Your Interior Rooms

Most realtors will recommend that you give each of your interior rooms a fresh coat of paint prior to listing. This will make the inside of your home look clean and ready for the potential buyer to move right in. When painting interior spaces, it is usually a good idea to use a neutral color palette. For example, natural beiges, whites, and off-whites are some popular color choices to have applied to your walls before you put your home on the market.

Ask any realtor and they will tell you that a fresh appearance and decluttered spaces are key to selling a home quickly and at a good price. These steps are what let the potential buyer view the space as their own and free of any immediate need to perform repairs or engage in projects that will only get the house to where it should be.
