Why it pays off to paint before selling your home...

Having navigated my own recent home sale I can tell you
that making sure your home is freshly painted and staged
makes all the difference !

Prospective new homeowners DO NOT want to have
to repaint all the rooms, repaint the trim and address
exterior restorations in addition to the high costs and
taxes associated with a real estate transaction. They
want to be able to move in and maybe make 1 or
2 adjustments in the first year of ownership.

Spending a few thousand dollars to have your
home professionally repainted can add as much
as 7 to 10% to the value of the home. Avoid painting
and you will be discounting your listing to the buyer
for things like:

1. Yellowed ceilings and trim
2. Aged finishes that are hard to clean
3. Tired old colour palette - we have seen homes that haven't seen a
    paintbrush in over 20 years (and yes some of them are in East
    Oakville of all places !)
4. Cabinets that are disgusting, dirty, and full of grease and kitchen residues
5. Bathrooms with old plumbing fixtures, corroded connections etc.

A $42,000 increase in the selling price was realized with a relatively
inexpensive repaint (4500.00) of the upper and lower floor of my
own personal home. Had we not painted, we were looking at a
heavily discounted selling price !

Muskoka Project: TV Unit Build and Painting









Whoever said a cottage had to be "rustic" to have
the cottage feel ? Cottage is really just a state of
mind...a few miles of asphalt travel to a place of
serenity and peace away from the demands of
real day to day living....

Well we packed our fishing poles and kayaks
along with our finishing equipment and trekked
north to Port Carling recently...here above
is the result....

We built a small tv cabinet and spray finished
with HVLP process lacquer in SW 6133 Muslin
and added light coffee glazing to detail.
We built and finished the unit on site in 3 days - the
client picked up the hardware at the local RONA.

In the home theatre room we repainted with
6129 Restrained Gold (Sherwin Williams) and
installed a custom Optoma HD Projector
for the golf and hockey enthusiasts :)

It wasn't that difficult ending the project
with deck bbq overlooking Lake Muskoka.

TV Unit Custom Built and Finished On-site : $1200.00
Wall Painting: $850.00
Projector Mounting: $150.00

Great thanks to repeat clients Sandy and Peter T.

You can always go dark for effect !




















If your kitchen has ample lighting an espresso
custom dark brown is effective for contrast !
We had a colour customized from Sherwin
William's Black Bean to a perfect espresso
brown/black hue.

Great thanks to Sarah and Bill B. for the project !
