Preparing Home for Sale

Preparing a home for sale or rent pays off big.  A home that feels appealing without blatant flaws is much more likely to motivate a potential buyer or renter.  The cost to do this is minimal for a house that has been maintained at a basic level.  

This house had been well maintained  but had a dated feel primarily due to the original flat dark wood doors.

 The owner wanted the house to go on the market in a few days so 3 of us went at it.  We removed all of the interior doors and replaced them with new doors, "slabs", that had to be cut to fit original openings.  The doors were painted and installed using all new hardware, hinges and knobs. Dark sliding closet doors in the bedrooms were replace with mirrored doors giving the rooms a much larger and brighter feel.  This brightened up the home and gave it a newer feel.

We did quite a few minor repairs including a miss-wire in the 3 way stair lighting switch that the owner told us had never worked properly.

It is important the the entry to the home be appealing and inviting.  We patched up dings in the door, replaced a cracked glass pain, and painted the door and trim.

Following these minor changes and repairs the home was sold after only few days on the market.
