Benefits of Interior and exterior paint

Can A Fresh Coat of Paint Increase Value?

When you are looking to put your house on the market you should consider throwing a fresh coat of paint on some of the interior or exterior walls of your house! This is a great way to boost your home's value for a low cost potentially bringing a high return on investment, objectively raising the value of your home. We will touch on some reasons this can add massive value and give great bang for your buck. When you choose the right painting contractor for the work this is something that can last for a decade or more.

Putting your house on the market can be a hectic time for you and your family but we all know how important curb appeal matters. Aesthetically pleasing fresh paint could potentially make or break the deal. You want to wow the buyer before they even set foot in the house by starting off on the right foot with a clean new paint job on the outside. By having a less than pleasing exterior look you will be pushing buyers away before the realtor gets a chance to talk to them.

A fresh coat of paint will most definitely send the right message to future buyers. Even if you're only attracting a few more buyers than you previously had. The fresh look could start a bidding war creating more perceived value than before adding thousands to the sales price.

Of course, you don't have to be moving out to consider getting a painting quote. If you have been in the same house for several years and are looking to improve the overall aesthetic feel of your home calling an exterior painter may be the answer. It is always a good feeling when pulling up to your house experiencing that "wow factor". Who knows, maybe you'll decide to not sell your house because you love the new look so much.
