Home Improvements... that can add value to your home.

Basic updates add the most value to your home. Keep the paint fresh, fix the roof when it leaks, replace wood that rots, and get rid of any mold that you find. These types of chores keep your home from deteriorating over time. Buyers want a healthy, solid, safe home, and they look carefully for signs of routine maintenance.

Thinking about replacing the electric wiring in any home, repainting the outside and interior, or even replacing the plumbing. These projects keep your home in tip-top shape and also shows pride in ownership to any buyer.

ADDING SOME “SMART” TECHNOLOGY If you want to make your home more valuable, then it’s time to start thinking smart. Investing in some smart home technology can increase your home’s value quickly, without the expense of a huge renovation. Making smart enhancements like your thermostat, lighting in key areas in your home.

Keypad door locks, fire detectors, and security cameras. Although this is becoming a top trend for home owners, this can attract new home buyers.

HAVE YOUR TREES TRIMMED Trimming trees and yard maintenance can increase home value - which adds curb appeal to any home on the market. One of the easiest ways to add value to your home doesn’t even require a contractor. But you are in the market for a tree care service remember to get an estimated cost of tree care, fertilizer, trimming, pruning, tree removal, and tree spraying. So that you can shop and compare.

REMOVE YOUR OLD LOOKING CARPETING Most modern home buyers are turned off by old carpeting, and now laying down a shiny new floors, laminate or vinyl can be the answer and will pay for itself several times over for both seller and buyer. And if you are worried about your home not looking warm or inviting, area rugs are a quick and simple way to add color and warmth to any living space.

RESURFACE YOUR CABINETS AND UPDATE OLD APPLIANCES Even if you don’t have money in your budget to remodel your entire kitchen, you can still upgrade your space by resurfacing your cabinets. “Just because something looks worn or beaten down doesn’t mean it needs to be replaced.” Resurfacing cabinet doors along with updating the hardware, adds considerable market value—without breaking the bank. Replace old appliances with energy-efficient models. Energy Star-rated appliances are better for the environment, and they also help you save money, because they use less energy. Potential buyers often look for ways to save money when shopping for a new home.

BUILD A DECK A wooden deck, can increase home value and make any yard inviting. If you’re eager to turn your outdoor space into one that will significantly boost your home’s value, building a deck is a great place to start. Composite deck additions yielded a 69.1 percent return on investment when it came time to sell think of that as you start this outdoor remodeling project.

ADD AN IRRIGATION SYSTEM While homeowners love the look of a lush lawn or garden, their desire to put in the legwork to maintain their greenery is a different story. So, if you’re eager to boost your home’s value, try having an irrigation system added to your outdoor space. The addition of an irrigation system ranked ninth on the list of projects most likely to add resale value to a home.
