Showing your homes true value...

You heard this before because it’s true: the most valuable asset that most people will ever own is their home. Over time, homes generally appreciate even when only essential maintenance is done. By investing just a little time and money in some home maintenance services to update and replace worn out fixtures and furnishings you can greatly increase your home's value.

Here are some tips for increasing your home’s value:

Upgrading your kitchen:

• If you can only do one project, update your kitchen. The kitchen, as we all know, is an essential part of the home and will typically be the driving force behind buying decisions.
• Consider upgrading or re-facing your cabinets, as they are the most visible element of your kitchen.
• If your cabinets are in decent shape, consider painting them bright white and replacing the hardware to make them look new again.
• You may want to replace your old countertops with new granite countertops, a solid surface material or even Formica. If you have the room, you might consider increasing your countertop space with an island. Or perhaps you could remove a wall and open it up to an adjoining room.

Upgrading your bathroom:

• Look critically at your bathrooms, particularly the master bath.
• Consider replacing old wallpaper or giving the walls a fresh coat of paint.
• A new modern vanity and sink are relatively inexpensive and can be installed by KevLar Handyman Service in just a few hours.
• Your tub and toilet may need to be replaced because they are old or don't match.
• Updated ceramic tiles and hard flooring are attractive to new buyers who don't want to go through the process of updating the bathrooms themselves.

Open things up:

• Another valuable change you can make is to take down walls to enlarge small spaces and create a more modern and open floor plan, particularly if the area connects to the kitchen.
• Ceilings can be vaulted to give the appearance of more space and sometimes make rooms seem brighter.
• Choosing to add on a room or bump out a wall will increase square footage and automatically add value to your home.

Other home maintenance ideas:

• Update worn out or outdated items, such as carpet, door handles, lighting fixtures or draperies.
• Painting rooms and removing clutter can also help increase your home's value should you wish to sell or just need to get it appraised.
• Replace old flooring with wood, laminate or tile.
• Replace windows, which will appeal to buyers and can increase the energy efficiency of your home.

All of these home maintenance services will increase the value of your home.

Unwanted PROJECTS!

UH OH!!

 

Sometimes even a Handyman has to get his own projects done! Even if it’s not one you plan on!! We had a pipe that was rotted out and had to drill up the basement concrete to replace it! It’s not always fun to do projects that aren’t planned, but you got to do what you got to do!! Hope you all have a great weekend! And if a project comes up that you weren't planning on, you can call us to help!!

I do a lot of gutter cleaning and yard clean up this time of year. I love being outside working, my kids love to come with me too! They are great little helpers!  If you need any outside winter weatherizing or gutter cleaning done this is the time to do it!!
