Home renovation projects can increase your property value and impress prospective buyers when you put your house on the market. Some homeowners focus more on interior projects, but your home’s exterior is the first thing a buyer sees when they arrive. Faded colors, chipped paint, and deteriorated caulking and seals can convince a motivated shopper to visit another home before seeing the interior. At Color World Painting, we can assist you in selling your home by providing premium exterior prepping and painting. Let’s go through some of the primary reasons to paint your home before the first open house.
Making a First Impression Shine
Since they’re making a considerable investment, prospective buyers will often inspect the outside of a home before looking at the interior rooms. With flaking paint and damaged panels, a neglected exterior may signal to a visitor that further damage may be lurking behind the walls. Painting and caulking protect from extreme weather and prevent water from damaging the building materials.
A new color scheme might be needed to persuade buyers if your previous color was out of synch with the rest of the neighborhood. For instance, a bright yellow home may not fit in an area populated with neutral grays or blues. For the last ten years, neutral colors have been most recommended by realtors for exterior paint.
How Exterior Painting Can Pay for Itself
A new paint job can impress buyers, but it can also raise your property value and asking price for a home. Depending on the size of your home, exterior painting can cost thousands, but a fresh coat of paint can add thousands to your home when it’s placed on the market.
An attractive exterior is more likely to attract more buyers and help you move to your next home. For all of your pressure washing and painting needs, you can contact Color World Painting by calling (888) 324-0313 or requesting an estimate online. We’ll help you prepare your home for the big sale.
