Painting To Sell My Indianapolis Home
Sometimes you need to sell your house as quickly as possible to someone like we buy houses Sacramento so you don’t have time to repaint or do a few touch-ups and that’s fine. But if you aren’t in a rush then repainting is great for your house. When repainting your home as a part of the plan to Sell My Indianapolis Home, painting not only gives it a good look it can help you negotiate for a higher value since it is both a renovation and a value add.
What Realtors Say
Many Charlottesville realtors and property managers will tell you that a proper painting plan can add a greater aesthetic and functional appeal to a house for prospective buyers. There are a few things to take into account when you are repainting for selling. We will divide these considerations into the exterior ones and the interior ones.
Interior Prepping and Painting:
Doors, Windows and Ceiling. You have to inspect these sections for rust, flaking or blistering paint marks. The stains on the ceiling have to be painted to clean it up. You have to do touch-ups on the hinges, railings and casings.
Walls and Stairs. Most of us have the habit of putting up wallpapers or painting the stairs with different colors from the rest of the room. Others go to the extent of painting the living room or bedroom a different favorite color. At this point, you have to ensure that the house has a seamless and uniform color, so your favorite color design has to go.
Bathroom and Kitchen. Bathrooms tend to reflect the hazards of rust, water stains on the bathroom door and streaks of running water on the walls. Make sure you get the right painting to eliminate these water stains and marks. A coat of polyurethane or proper cleaning is often all that needs to be done to bring your kitchen to a top-notch look. You can also give your bathroom a facelift with a new shower curtain or perhaps some frameless shower doors, making it look more desirable to any potential buyers of your home. Whenever anyone is buying a home, they always tend to focus on the bathroom and kitchen, so making them look their best is a great way to show a potential buyer that each room is fully functional as well as aesthetically pleasing.
Exterior Prepping and Painting:
General Cleaning. Most often we never really stop to assess the damage, and wear and tear that a house faces and until we want to sell it. For a start you will need to do a top down cleaning, scrubbing and scraping surfaces to give them the best possible look.
Front Door/ Window Sills. The front door is your first impression therefore it has to be scrubbed and cleaned thoroughly. The stain that comes with using the handle can be too much. Most often the front door usually needs a fresh coat of paint to give it a better look. Window sills tend to accumulate dust and dirt too. The sun and water also wreak havoc on the sills, but a good scraping and a paint job works wonders.
Gutters/Bulkheads and Decking. Loose downspouts have to be properly fixed, any rusted areas have to be sanded and most often the deck needs a fresh coat of painting to restore its look. The fence also has to be properly erected, all weak spots replaced and refitted and a fresh coat of paint will seal the deal!
