Want To Know The Best Ways To Increase Your Home Value?
Do you want to increase your home value because you want to refinance your home? Perhaps you are selling your home and want to get the best price. Or maybe you are just trying to increase your home vale and your home equity by properly maintaining your home.
With interest rates dropping in March 2020 and probably for the rest of the year due to the current Coronavirus pandemic, mortgage applications have skyrocketed in Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess County. Refinances in Chappaqua, Scarsdale, Armonk, Katonah, Bronxville and White Plains are at an all-time high. In addition, due to the lower interest rates, now is a great time for home improvements. Therefore, many homeowners are getting their home’s curb appeal and appraised value higher.
Whether you want to increase your home value to keep your home, refinance or to sell, here are some of the best ways to increase your home value.
Furthermore, these are some of the least expensive investments in your home with the best return on investment.
1. Get Your Roof Washed and Cleaned.
Dirt, black marks, lichens, mold, and mildew make your home look un-kept and damage your roof. This is true for asphalt, shingle, slate, tile, and cedar roofs. The safest and best way to wash your roof is soft roof washing. Some companies call it roof shampoo but soft roof washing is the correct way and terminology. Westchester Power Washing are experts at soft roof washing. In addition, Westchester Power Washing uses eco-friendly roof cleaning detergents. These are safe for family, pets, plants and your home exterior.
2. Get Your House and Siding Washed.
A dirty house looks as if it is in poor condition. Poor condition homes translate into costly repairs and remodeling expenses. Therefore, by getting your siding power washed and your home exterior including stone, brick, tile, walls, windows, stairs and fascia cleaned, your home looks almost new. In addition, if you are looking to have your home painted, then power washing your home first is great preparation for removing dirt, oils, stains, mold, and mildew. Since 1990, Westchester Power Washing has washed more than 18,000 homes in Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess County, New York.
3. Pressure wash your walkways, driveway, fencing, stones and landscape walls.
Dirty walkways and fencing take away from a home’s curb appeal. Most people walk with their eyes pointing downward. It is this reason they immediately notice that your walkways and driveway need to be pressure washed.
4. Pressure wash your deck, patio and pool area.
For many of the same reasons above, you need to pressure clean your deck and patio. This is true for wood, composite, stone, tile, brick, pavers, cement and concrete areas. As well as increasing curb appeal, this also keeps your home interior flooring clean. Dirty patios and decks end up on the bottom of shoes, socks, and feet. When people entire your home, your flooring, and the carpet get dirty fast. Furthermore, this is also bringing in mold and bacteria into your house. This means having to call a carpet cleaning company more often. A simple solution is to have your patio, deck, and pool area pressure washed yearly and reduces your overall home maintenance expenses.
5. Clean up and improve your landscaping.
Often times, you can pull out weeds, remove dead plants, trim bushes, and trees, as well as cut the grass and your home looks beautiful. A great time to do this is before or after getting your home exterior pressure washed. Even moving plants and flowers, or even trees to different areas around your home and property can increase your home value and curb appeal. Worse case, it will greatly change the look and enjoyment.
