Sell Your Home For More: Kitchen Fixes Can Increase Your Asking Price
 Most Realtors will tell you that improvements to your
kitchen will add more value to your house than just
about any other interior fix-up. Many buyers focus on the
look and feel of the kitchen. If it's outdated and shabby,
they might move on to the next house. Kitchen fixes
don't necessarily have to be costly. You need to decide
whether cosmetic changes are enough or if you need
some serious fixing up.
The key to a sellable kitchen is one that feels inviting.
Color has a lot to do with the allure. Light colors reflect
window light and can really brighten up a kitchen. Warm
colors can take away the sterile feel of some spaces.
If you have a lot of hanging pots and pans or distinctive cabinets, cool, medium shades can show off your woodwork and cookware.
This can boost the buyer's impression of kitchen quality. Here are some pointers: |
|
| 1. Paint it. Pick a color that compliments the cabinets, appliances and furniture. |
|
|
|
Tip: Keep the ceiling light to brighten the room. |
|
|
|
|
| 2. Refresh your cabinets with a coat of paint. Woods and stains go out of style just like colors do. Fresh painted cabinets can look much more appealing than dingy wood. |
|
|
|
Tip: Change the handles while you're at it. This makes your cabinets look new. |
|
|
|
|
| 3. Replace your countertops. Countertops are trendy. Replacing them can be an inexpensive way to make the who kitchen feel new. |
|
|
|
Tip: Get nice-looking countertops, not expensive one, since you won't be around to enjoy them. |
|
|
|
|
| 4. Change out the fridge and stove. If you were planning on getting new appliances, you might want to put them in the old kitchen first to make it a show kitchen. Note on the contract that they're not part of the deal and you can take them with you. |
|
|
|
Tip: Don't replace the dishwasher, since they're mounted in the cabinets and almost always considered part of the house. |
|
|
|
|
| 5. Replace the light fixtures and globes. This can make the room sparkle. |
|
|
|
Tip: If they're hopeless, replace them. New fixtures can be inexpensive. |

HandyPro Handyman Services
Handyman services are easy to find in the phonebook, but convenience often forsakes more important things such as trust, cost, and quality of craftsmanship. In today’s busy world, it is difficult to train oneself in handyman services because there is simply too much to learn about home repair. Before hiring though, it is best to ask for references from friends or family or to request private consultations before contracting handyman services for your home. We are happy to provide references upon request.
