Placeholder ImageCan Exterior Painting Raise Your Home's Value? Using exterior painting goes a long way with making your home as marketable as possible.

Seeing how residential real estate sales are on the rise throughout the country, a lot of homeowners are looking to put their homes up for sale. For many homeowners, making their houses easier to sell will mean making minor repairs to make their living space more attractive to potential buyers that in turn helps the owner to sell at a higher price. There are plenty of ways a person can improve the marketability of their home, and we’re here to tell you that an exterior painting job is a great idea for helping you to close that sale. Faded and outdated paint, or paint that is peeling, can dissuade people from buying your home.

A fresh coat of paint can give your home more curb appeal, which subsequently raises its monetary value. It’s a big deal when selling what may be the biggest investment you ever own. Using exterior painting goes a long way with making your home as marketable as possible.

Benefits Of Exterior Painting

While interior painting is another important aspect of your home and is definitely worth doing, designers and real estate professionals advise exterior painting. Professionals will tell you it is an affordable way to significantly raise your home’s monetary value. Exterior painting can do wonders for a home, raising its value anywhere between 2 and 5 percent. You can also paint your exterior with many different colors and designs.

But sales and looks aren’t the only reasons exterior painting is a good idea. It provides plenty of other benefits as well.

Paint Is More Economically Friendly Than Installing A New Vinyl Siding.

Old paint tells buyers they will need to perform maintenance on your home soon, which isn’t attractive when selling. With the right coloring, the house can be made out to look larger.

Most homebuyers will value exterior painting highly, so expect to be asked about the quality of your paint, and when you last painted your home.

Tips For Painting The Exterior

Exterior painting done right makes your home look clean, attract the most buyers, and improve the home’s value. That said, painting does have its challenges. To make sure your painting goes well, consider these tips:

  1. Freshen the exterior by using different striking colors for the window frames, trim, and railings.
  2. Neutral, white, and cream colors appeal to most buyers.
  3. To minimize the chances of warping, paint the vinyl siding a similar or lighter color.

 

If you don’t opt for a complete exterior painting job, at least consider painting your front door. The new paint gives viewers a feature that catches their eye.

Consider The Drawbacks

Having your home as appealing as possible is always an advantage when selling.  However, there are circumstances when exterior painting may not be the best idea. Perhaps you’re relocating because of a new job. In a case like this, putting money towards painting your home might not be worth it. Whenever your home has other costly repairs, sometimes this could make it more preferred to sell your home “as is”.

We could not be more pleased with the entire process and outcome of our experience with Albaugh & Sons. From the timely turnaround on coming out to give us an estimate, to the flexibility on adjusting our proposal, and to the quick and professional installation itself. I would highly recommend Albaugh & Sons to anyone in their area of serviceability.

So great to work with. Have had the pleasure of working with both sons who were knowledgeable and courteous. The entire process was easy from estimate to completion of my new deck. Both arrived on time, had my estimate for both deck and basement remodel in a couple of days. Danny, the project manager arrived on time and explained the plans, the work crew were amazing. Old deck demolished and beautiful new composite in its place in less than 2 days. Tiffany, the office manager is prompt in responding to all emails with courteous knowledgeable answers. They make you feel like you are their only customer. Look forward to working with them for my basement remodel. I 100% recommend this company.

I had a beautiful deck built almost 2 years ago. I called yesterday about a few items that have come apart such as the pvc outside corners on the rim/ band board etc. The company was very responsive and ready and eager to help. Because of this, they have made a customer for life! Not only will you get an amazing product, but it appears you get a lifetime of amazing customer service!! 100 out of 5 stars!

We needed a fence as fast as possible for 5 rescue dogs that we took on. Albaugh and Sons was able to provide a great quote and a speedy installation. My wife and I love the new fence. It has literally improved our day to day lives by being able to let the dogs run free in the back. The materials were perfect and high quality. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

I hired Albaugh and Sons to tear out our old deck and replace it with a new composite deck/ screened porch. The front office was a pleasure to deal with and kept my wife and I informed on everything. The crew did an amazing job every step of the way. I was especially impressed with their finish work. The attention to detail was impressive! What I also liked Albaugh and Sons is they had a project manager (Danny) who would occasionally pop over and answer questions and would also keep me updated on progress. I would highly recommend hiring Albaugh and Sons for any of your fence/ deck / home improvement needs.

We are very pleased with the work done by Albaugh and sons. We had them replace our side porch and they did excellent work and built it to our request. Also had them install a three tier rail fence around our property. It is excellent and looks great. We thank Danny and his deck crew and George and his fence crew for their excellent work. I recommend them for any projects you need done. Thank you very much!!
