Put a Fresh Coat on These 3 Areas Before You List Your Home
When you decide that you'll be selling your home and you're eager to ensure that it looks its best once it goes on the market, hiring a painter is a decision that will pay off. Having this contractor repaint any rooms that have scuffed walls can make your home look better. And, ideally, this work can help you sell the home quicker and at a higher price. Beyond the above jobs, it's also ideal to have your painting contractor take care of the following assignments.
Deck or Porch—A deck or porch with flaked and faded paint doesn't look very good. Even if the structure is physically sound, people won't be impressed due to its appearance. When you have your painting contractor strip off the existing paint and give the deck or porch a fresh coat, it will instantly look better. If you have a wooden porch at the front of the house, it's important to remember that this structure is one of the first things that people will see upon pulling into your driveway. With a crisp coat of paint, people will feel good about the home before they even enter.
Ceilings—While it's common sense to have some of the rooms in your home repainted, you might not think about having this work done on your ceilings. The reality is that painting the ceilings in your home, if even in just a few rooms, can make the space feel brighter and more inviting. Over time, ceiling paint can fade due to grime; you might notice this in your kitchen if you do a lot of frying. A clean coat of white paint, however, will transform the overall appearance of the room. If there are any rooms that have water spots on the ceiling from leaky pipes that were fixed long ago, a new coat of paint will be beneficial, too.
Stairs—If you have painted stairs in your home, they can develop a worn look over time—particularly in the center and front edge of each tread where people commonly step. Your painting contractor can repaint each tread and riser to give the staircase a completely new look that can make the home look fresh, rather than lived-in. Your painter will use special stair paint that is more resistant to wear, which means that you won't have to worry about wearing down the paint on the stairs between having the job done and selling your home.
