If you know that your property needs a little TLC then there are a few things that you can do to make this happen. In fact, most of them can be done in a week or less!
Paint
If your walls are looking drab or washed out, then why not add a new splash of paint? You really don’t need to hire a professional to take care of this for you. In fact, it is easy to do it yourself. When you do make the decision to paint your rooms, you need to put a piece of tarp or something down on the floor. You also need to make sure that you put tape around the walls and skirting boards as well to make sure that if you do drip some paint, that it is not going to go everywhere. It’s also worth investing in a range of paint brushes too, as this will help you to get into those awkward corners.
Crown Moulding
Crown moulding adds charm and it can also add a ton of value. It may take you a lot of time to get the corners right, but when you do the end result can be well worth it. If you have zero DIY experience, then you may want to try and hire a professional. When you do this, it may cost you more, but you are almost guaranteed to make all of this money back when you sell your home.
Stair Runners
Stair runners really don’t cost much to install and you can even do it yourself. All you need is a good piece of running material and some measurements. You don’t need a lot of DIY experience to do this either, because you can keep on adjusting it until it is absolutely perfect. Of course, if you have trouble then you can still call out a professional.
Dishwasher
Believe it or not, a dishwasher can really help you to save water. This is especially the case if you have a newer model. If the model that you have now is old or worn out however then it may be time for you to switch out. This can save you up to 500 gallons of water and it is a fantastic way for you to boost the overall efficiency of your home. It’s actually really easy for you to install a dishwasher yourself too, if you follow the instructions that come with them. By leaving this behind in the property, you can really add value.
Wall Insulation
Wall insulation is a fantastic way for you to boost the value of your property. It’s also a great way for you to see if you have pests, as they will often travel through the cracks in the walls. If you suspect that you have pests then hire a pest control service. Sure, it may not be possible for you to do the insulation yourself, but when you do get it done you will find that your home retains way more heat, and this can save you a small fortune on your energy bills.
