I must say that for both the carpentry and the painting work, my high level of expectations was exceeded. This is a tribute to both your hiring and training of good employees, and the process you have put in place to recognize their work.
Does Painting Increase the Value of Your House?
Housing analysts publish a thorough yearly study of how different home improvements affect the value of a home. In most cases, the value of your home will increase, but not by enough to pay for the renovation. For example, a $10,000 kitchen renovation is only likely to improve the value of the home by $8,000 (an 80% return on the investment). A bathroom renovation would provide a similar loss on the investment, while a pool or similar addition would only raise the home’s value by about 40% of the project cost.
There are only two items that are consistently proven to raise the value of a home; quality painting and custom trim/mouldings. Studies show that these kinds of investments average a return of 141% on the investment. This means that a paint job worth $10,000 can increase the value of your D.C. area home by $14,100, earning you a profit on your paint job.
A new custom paint job by a professional painting contractor will ensure that your home looks clean, fresh and stylish when buyers come. Additionally, a well-equipped house painter can professionally install crown mouldings, custom baseboards, chair rail, wainscoting and coffered ceilings for a truly classy look.
Just like it is wise to wash and detail your car before trying to sell it, getting your home to look its best is a great way to improve your chances of selling and the price you will get for it.
