When you decide to sell your home, you need to look at it through a potential buyer’s eyes. A few home improvements can make a major difference and increase your home’s curb appeal and value. Use these ideas to get started before speaking with a remodeling contractor.

What Home Improvements Should You Complete Before Selling?

1. Exterior & Interior Painting

Give your home a face-lift by hiring painting contractors to paint the exterior and interior as needed. Clean, newly painted walls and siding demonstrate to buyers that you prioritize residential maintenance. Help yourself further by researching which paint colors buyers prefer. Research shows paint colors can impact final selling prices.

2. Roof Repair

Ask a roofing contractor to inspect your roof to determine what needs repairing. Depending on the roof’s age and current condition, you may need to replace it.

For example, if you have a shingle roof that’s almost 25 years old and has issues like buckled and missing shingles, get it replaced. Conversely, if your roof is only a few years old, minor repairs such as replacing the flashing should suffice.

3. Kitchen Update

Refresh your kitchen, as this “hub of the home” can make or break buying decisions. Have remodeling contractors replace outdated cabinets and appliances. You can also paint and add new light fixtures. Even small touches like new cabinetry hardware can make a difference. Keep in mind that buyers typically prefer kitchens with plenty of windows, storage areas, and counterspace.

4. Floor Replacement

Remove old carpeting hiding hardwood floors to add to the beauty and value of your home. Consider flooring replacements in other rooms, such as new tile floors in the bathrooms or new carpets in the bedrooms. If you need to make a flooring choice for the majority of your home, opt for hardwood since it’s the material buyers desire most.
