Painting for a Home Sale
with CertaPro Painters® of Santa Monica, CA
Preparing to Sell Your Home?
When you’ve decided to sell your house, it goes without saying that you want potential buyers to see all the great aspects of your home. However, a lot goes in to the process of creating an appealing home. Putting your house on the market can be a stressful process, but don’t worry! CertaPro Painters® of Santa Monica have some tips that you can use to make sure that your house reaches its full market potential – all without breaking the bank.
Pleasant friendly workers. Attention to detail. Neat. Good cleanup. Flexibility; added extra work smoothly. Thorough and efficient. Good communication with Ben and everyone.

Bathroom Update
Bathrooms are often a make-or-break component of a new home for potential buyers. It’s important to give the bathroom an update by replacing or repainting pieces that are showing signs of wear. Consider these projects:
Remove Wallpaper
Wallpaper tends to crack and peel over time, especially in the bathroom. In addition, all the continual moisture has likely led to some discoloration and potential mildew. Before putting your home on the market, consider replacing your current wallpaper.
Reglaze Tub or Shower
The glaze on your tub is likely not something you often think about, but it is subject to a lot of wear and tear. Reglazing your tub or shower before putting your home on the market can ensure that your bathroom looks as new as the rest of your home.
Paint Tiles
Finally, the tiles on your bathroom floor and walls have the potential to make your bathroom shine – but they can also make your bathroom appear dirty if not given an occasional refresh.
Kitchen Update
Sand and repaint cabinets – this can typically be done for less than 50% of the cost of removing old cabinets and installing new cabinets. For the new shade, we suggest a neutral shade, such as the colors listed below.
Repaint kitchen islands – while there is a noticeable trend to have the island be an accent with a shade of blue or other attractive color, we suggest keeping it simple for your budget and to attract as many people as possible to your home. The buyers can always spend the money to add a personalized accent with the island if they so choose.
Don’t just take our word for it – check out one of our recent kitchen painting projects.
Updating Your Color Scheme
While it’s a big task, adjusting the color scheme of your overall interior can do a lot to increase your home’s marketability. Paint over colors to make rooms more neutral overall. Some favorite Sherwin-William’s neutrals are:
Alabaster (SW 7008)
Oyster White (SW 7637)
Repose Gray (SW 7015)
Quicksilver (SW 6245)
Mindful Gray (SW 7016)
Excellent communication, clear plan of work, kept to the promised schedule, careful work and clean up. Plus the crew was pleasant and professional at all times. We're very pleased with the results.
