Extensive remodeling projects can be disruptive, time-consuming and most of all expensive. However, it doesn't always have to be the case. There are a few upgrades that can not only dramatically improve your home feel and look, but also come cheap.
When you try to sell your home, it's a good idea to spruce it up a little bit to sweeten the deal. Luckily, you don't have to spend big time to achieve great results. There are inexpensive projects that can yield substantial ROI. You can find five best picks that avoid hassle and are relatively quick to finish.
New Floors
This one isn't fast or cheap but compared to kitchen or bathroom updates costs almost to nothing while its effect on your home is enormous and lasting. This is an investment that is worthwhile. No matter if you install new hard floor or wall-to-wall carpet. Your home will look completely changed afterwards. However, this isn't an easy DIY project and it's best to hire a contractor.
Kitchen and Bath Hardware Renovation
Unlike installing new floors, changing few handles and hinges can make your kitchen cabinets look like new. Additionally, you can change their front doors inexpensively. For your bathroom you can put new toilet paper dispensers and towel racks.
Exterior Door Replacement
What's a better way to say that you have improved a home than a new front door? Visitors will be able to see it from afar and notice its fresh and inviting look. Standard front doors can be purchased in most home improvement stores and have installation options for free.
Wall Painting
You can always count on a fresh coat of paint to refresh your home and make it more appealing. It'll do wonders for your home and its value. Painted areas like walls and ceiling get dull and marked after years of use. Another coat of paint will not only refresh them but also provide a layer of protection. Painting is a truly DIY project provided that you get your colors right, a few tools and are really patient type of person.
Deep Cleaning
Actually this project is consistently voted as number among real estate agents and homeowners alike as the most successful and least expensive way to spruce up your home and increase its value before you listed it on the market.
The best thing about it - you can do almost everything , if not everything, by yourself. Activities like dusting, de-cluttering and staging shouldn't be a problem to you. An exception are things that require using rented equipment. In such cases you can hire an expert technician.
