Don’t Underestimate the Value of a Fresh Coat of Paint
Is the style of your home outdated? Is the living room looking a bit drab? Feel like your curb appeal is lacking? Paint! Sometimes, a small paint job can take your house from looking so 2000 and late to looking like tomorrow’s next hot trend.
A new coat of paint isn’t just for aesthetic enhancements either; are your eaves in a state of disrepair (rot)? Is your house constantly the wrong temperature because outside air is getting through cracks around windows and doors? Is your metal patio furniture beginning to rust? Paint! It’s the easiest, most simple, and fastest method for forward thinking maintenance and home improvement.
Don’t Put Things Off to Tomorrow That You Could Do Today
If you are moving into a house, it is in your best interest to fix as much as possible before moving in. While it seems like common sense now, in the heat of the moment people forget that it’s much easier to fix things without furniture, rugs, and paintings in your way. Also, being completely fair, most people become a little complacent once they move in.
Beware Instant Gratification, Wait A Little While Before Beginning a Major Renovation
