Are you thinking about putting your home on the market this summer? If so, consider making some simple affordable home improvements to enhance your home’s appeal. The following home Improvements will pay for themselves when it comes time to sell.

Siding Replacement

Your home’s exterior is the first thing that potential buyers notice when they view your home. Nothing is more of a turnoff to potential buyers than dirty, weathered siding. Give your home a facelift by replacing your siding. New siding is an affordable upgrade that can dramatically improve the exterior of your home. Exterior upgrades are some of the most valuable home improvements. Therefore, it should be fairly easy to recoup the cost of new siding investment when it comes time to sell.

Replace Your Garage Door

The garage door takes up a significant amount of the facade of your home. If the first thing that potential buyers notice when they pull up to your home or view it online is a poorly maintained or broken garage door, they will likely assume that you have not bothered with upkeep for the rest of your home. A new garage door is a relatively affordable home improvement that can go a long way towards creating a favorable first Impression with potential buyers.

Stable Foundation

If you are selling your home, any major structural issues, such as an unstable or crumbling foundation, will need to be repaired before putting your home on the market. If not addressed, these issues will likely be discovered during your home’s inspection. This will likely derail your closing. Some companies, like T. Luckey Sons, Inc., know that repairing your foundation can help stabilize your entire home. Underpinning can solve this problem by reinforcing or strengthening your existing foundation to make it stable. This process can also be used to lower your basement floor. In addition to providing additional reinforcement, underpinning increases overall ceiling height, adding additional usable living space in your basement. Additional space is always a sought-after amenity.

Add a Fresh Coat of Paint

Repainting walls can make your home appear well-taken care of and brighten almost any room. Choose neutral colors, such as off-white or beige and make sure that you repair any holes in the walls before painting. Make sure that you choose the right finish for your walls. An eggshell finish can hide imperfections. Semi-gloss paint can make walls appear brighter.
