When you’re a homeowner, there is always “just one more project” sure to make your home more comfortable and up to date. Which projects from the list below have you already check off your list?
- Knock Down Walls
Older homes often have separate kitchens and dining rooms, but many home buyers desire more open spaces throughout the living areas. Demolish any walls that are not load-bearing so that rooms flow together to create the illusion of more space. - Integrate Smart Technology
Younger homeowners desire the latest technology in nearly every aspect of their lives — including their homes. From smart speakers and lighting to smart security and thermostats, any smart tech that you can integrate into your home will be appealing to buyers. - Create Organized Storage Options
There’s no such thing as too much storage space. Increase organization in your home with built-in closet cabinetry and heavy-duty shelving in the garage or attic. - Refresh Spaces with Paint
A can of paint can work wonders on a space. Consider either a fresh coat of neutral colors or using the Pantone Color of the Year to make any room feel renewed. - Swap Out Old Appliances
Even if you’re not remodeling the kitchen, you should swap old appliances for newer, energy-efficient models. - Upgrade Old Windows
Heat transfer increases energy costs, which is why we recommend replacing any original or dated windows with those featuring the latest energy-efficient technology. - Replace Hardware
A small, low-cost home improvement project that makes a substantial impact in your kitchens and bathrooms is to replace all cabinetry hardware and fixtures like faucets. - Purchase a New Garage Door
A worn or malfunctioning garage door can detract buyers; however, a new replacement can immediately increase your home’s value. - Air Seal Your Home
Just as old windows should be replaced, you should prevent heat transfer by recaulking any windows or doors where air can enter or escape. - Have Your Home Inspected Inside & Out
Let professionals help you identify where you need to invest your home improvement budget by scheduling inspections on your roof, HVAC unit, ventilation system, septic tank, and other major elements of your property. - Upgrade Kitchen Cabinets & Surfaces
Nothing brings a buyer more joy than walking into a remodeled kitchen with new cabinetry and countertops. - Install USB Ports
We live in an age of smart technology — upgrade your electrical outlets to include USB ports for supreme convenience throughout the home. - Redo Flooring
Don’t let dirty, worn, or torn floors distract buyers. Instead, pull up old carpet or vinyl and replace them with new floorings like hardwood or tile. - Don’t Forget About the Ceiling
Leave popcorn ceilings in the past and have your ceiling refinished. - Invest in Energy Efficient Lighting
Use new LED bulbs in all rooms to curb utility bills and provide comfortable visibility. - Replace Your Fence
A broken or dilapidated fence can suggest that the home is neglected; prevent this problem with a new, secure fence installation. - Consider Your Curb Appeal
Curb appeal can make or break your home — install a new front door, replace your driveway with pavers, purchase a new mailbox, and consider adding window shutters to make your exterior feel inviting. - Make the Most of Outdoor Spaces
You may not be able to increase your indoor square-footage, but investing in outdoor entertaining spaces provides buyers with more square feet of living space to enjoy season after season. - Install Solar Panels
Help your buyers save money on their utility bills for years to come by installing solar panels to power water heaters, garage doors, and even home security systems. - Don’t Forget About Décor
Still searching for ways to improve even the most basic of spaces? Use décor like indoor plants to breathe new life into the room.
