DIY - Increasing Your Home’s Resale Value


Homeowners are looking for ways to ensure top dollar when selling their homes. There are many DIY projects homeowners can easily do in a weekend that will increase the value of their property.



PAINT


A fresh coat of paint makes a world of difference inside a home. Depending on size of your house, the amount of rooms you want to paint and how many friends you have, painting can be completed in one weekend. Select warm, yet conservative paints that make rooms look large, open, bright and inviting.

If your home is looking worn on the outside, a quick and easy weekend improvement can be replacing or painting old rotting wood surrounding windows and doors.



Replacing Hardware


In Kitchens and bathrooms, replacing and updating hardware such as faucets, mirrors and cabinet doors. Can create a whole new fresh look. It’s easy to do and cost effective all you need are some house hold tools.

Putting your time into weekend DIY home improvements can help not only with the sale but also in reaching your asking price – or more.



Landscaping


Trim hedges, prune trees, turn over flower beds, get rid of all weeds and nourish the lawn. Clean out and dead flower beds and replace along with any dead patches of grass. You might also think about adding new flowers or shrubs that are in season if you’re thinking about or are trying to sell.

Adding or improving a Deck


Deck projects are physical but two people can get the job done in a weekend. Consider a make-over for your deck. Hidden deck fasteners offer a “nail-free” surface, which does not harm the beauty of the wood, reduces splitting and splintering, cupping and rotting. Costs on this have dramatically reduced, this an affordable and easy DIY project.

Simply replace the surface deck boards with an inexpensive grade of wood (pressure treated), use hidden deck fasteners, and finish with a deeper shade of brown stain. Your deck will look like hard wood flooring.
