How Painting Your Exterior Can Increase Your Homes Value and More.
If you've considered selling your house in the near future, hiring a professional painting company re-paint the exterior could make all the difference.
Now that the more excellent weather is upon us here in Calgary, Fitz Painting's first is a blog about how exterior painting can boost your home's value, curb appeal, and more.
For some homeowners, the process of selling their home, rental property, or commercial office space, means that you may need to make minor repairs and upgrades to make it more attractive and improve saleability.
Can Painting the Exterior of Your Property Really Boost its Value?
This might not be much of a surprise, but the answer is most certainly, yes!
I'm going to touch on a few reasons for this, but first, here's something to consider. If you want to compete with similar homes or properties on the market and receive the highest sales price possible, a new exterior paint job by the right painting company can help you achieve the desired results. A recently painted home is one that the buyer doesn't have paint tomorrow and will help remove a potential doubt from the buyer's list.
If you're trying to sell, curb appeal matters!
Speaking with my realtor friend the other day, he told me this to say about how the importance of the visual appeal of the exterior of your home:
““Curb appeal isn’t some random term to describe the appearance of your home from the ‘curb.’ It matters. The exterior of your home is the first thing a potential buyer sees. If it isn’t in optimal condition, the potential to attract buyers diminishes, and your home will not set you apart from your market competition. When looking for homes online, you often see the exterior of the house (from the street) in fact, and this is commonly the only photo included in a realtor’s brief.” ”
A well-executed exterior paint job can certainly help to attract interested home buyers. Even if you don't plan to sell your home, refreshing its exterior with a fresh coat of paint on stucco, wood, vinyl, or metal siding can vastly improve the exterior of your home!
Fresh Paint Sends A Message
What would you like a potential buyer to think when they first see your home? A new exterior paint job can say a lot about your home and the care that it's received over the years. In the same way that a yard full of weeds and an un-kept lawn sends a special message to a potential buyer, old, weathered, and run-down paint on the outside of your house sends a similar message.
If your stucco, siding, window frames, or fences are peeling, faded, cracked or patchy, it's time to call the right professionals for the job!
Painting larger surfaces aren't quite the same as painting your ensuite bathroom or small spare room.
Hiring the right painting company to take on the painting of your home exterior can be the difference between an exceptional, durable, paint job that will hold up through volatile Calgary weather and seasonal shifts and one that may not. Although painting your home yourself may be an 'inexpensive option' you feel you could take on alone, there are processes that the right painting company can execute with ease and experience! By hiring someone, it leaves you with much more time to enjoy your Calgary spring and summer!
Wouldn't it be nice not to have to worry about standing on a twenty-foot ladder borrowed from the neighbour down the street, scraping faded window frames, and leaning over to paint that top living room window? I'm confident it would be.
