As homeowner planning to sell your house, making a few updates can have a beneficial impact on your sale price. Some of these fixes are aesthetic, while others are to fix specific areas. From basic improvements and fixture upgrades, to flooring needs and Denver, CO roof repair, discuss these options with your realtor before putting your house on the market.
Basic Improvements
Do you have a leaky faucet? Damage to any of your walls? Maybe the caulking in the bathroom is worn? These are all small fixes that are worth the small investment for prospective buyers. If you are unable to make these fixes yourself, due to expertise or time, you can always reach out to a local service that can help address these issues for you. This may be your best option as it is important to get the fix right.
Updates Fixtures and Finishes
A simple update that will make a big impact to a potential buyer is to update fixtures. Take time to inventory your existing fixtures. These include:
- Lights
- Ceiling fans
- Knobs
- Handles
- Faucets
You will want to make sure they are cohesive and consistent. For lights and fans, choose simple fixtures. For your finishes, choose one color and update all to match. Find inspiration through the hottest trends in faucets and finishes.
Flooring Needs
Old carpet or scratched hardwood flooring can be a red flag to someone looking at your home. With carpet, over time it becomes worn, stained, and filled with dust and debris. If your carpet was replaced within the last five years, you may be able to have it deep cleaned to make it like new. If your carpet is five to 15 years old, it is time to replace it. With hardwood, no matter what the age, you don’t always have to replace. Hardwood floors can be refinished, allowing all of the imperfections to be sanded out. You can even add a new stain, too.
Roofing
On average, a roof can last 20 years or longer. Making sure your roof is safe and sound can make a huge impact on a buyer’s decision. In some cases, your insurance will even cover the repairs. Your first step will be to contact your local Denver residential roofing company. They can do a full inspection to let you know of any repairs, or if a replacement is needed. Your roofer will also be able to inspect your gutters as well. When gutters do not do their job, water can make its way to the foundation of your home. This can cause foundational issues that can be problematic.
When it comes to all of your roofing needs as you prepare to put your home on the market, Big Creek Roofing and Restoration has you covered. Our team will fully inspect your roof to ensure its safety and inform you of any fixes that need made. From there, we will make the repairs or replacements needed so you can continue on with other priorities. To get started with your quote, contact us at 720-309-9722.
