Does Painting Your Home Increase the Value?

Does Painting Your Home Increase the Value?

Are you selling your house or just trying to maintain the value? Painting is an important part if you answered yes to either part of that question. When you are selling a home you want it to look the best it can, so that it get top dollar. When you are trying to maintain the home that you live in, painting can help prevent some costly repairs down the road.

If you are selling your home, you want it to stand out from all the other homes on the market. First impressions are critical, so curb appeal is the key here. Your yard must look nice, and your paint job needs to be in good condition. Just as important is that the colors are neutral, so that they appeal to the majority of those looking to buy your home. If you have painted your house bold colors, that only a few people may like, you need to change them. We are very emotionally tied to our homes, and all that work put into them. When you are selling, it is about getting top dollar, not what you personally like. Do your best to put your feelings aside and neutralize your home, and make sure those perspective buyers see a nice, well kept home that they do not need to spend money on painting, which could affect the amount of their offer.

If you are planning on staying in your home for years to come, that’s great. Now your mind set is to keep your maintenance costs as low as possible. With the exterior of your home, the best way to prevent deterioration and rot is to keep your house well protected with paint. In our northern California climate, you should plan on painting your home every 10 years. This will help prevent against sun damaged surfaces and dry rot. When you neglect the outside of your home, the problems can grow very quickly as well as the price tag of the repairs.

When it comes to the interior of your home there are no elements to damage the surfaces, it is mostly from our use. Therefore, you don’t have to paint quite as often, unless you want to change the colors. I have seen ceilings painted 30 years ago, look fantastic. Now if you have young children and animals, those walls & baseboard may need some help sooner than later. Interiors are fun to paint, as you can easily add a lot of personalization with color. If you are selling your home, it is time to go neutral again. You want a prospective buyer who walks into your home to feel warmth rather that overwhelmed. If you have some bold accent walls, it’s time to change those out. Once again it is not about what we may like, but what others looking to buy our home will like and getting the pest purchase offer.

If you are buying, selling, or staying put, painting adds great value to you home. Please call Brooks Painting for all your interior and exterior painting needs @ 530-753-5074.

It was fun working with Chris and his crew. I’ve never had a contracted job go so smoothly from start to finish. The office was responsive to my needs, Corey was patient and helpful while I made color choices, and Chris made sure I was happy with the crew’s work every step of the way. Gabriel does amazing work as well. Very much a perfectionist like Chris. I don’t have a bad thing to say. The job is absolutely stunning and I’ve had so many neighbors tell me it’s beautiful. I’m happy to put one of your signs in my front yard if you’d like so people know as they drive by who did the work. Thank you Brooks Painting. I will be recommending you to anybody who asks.

This is a business you can trust to do an excellent job and keep all promises. Came on time, completed in time stated, beautiful result!

Sandra & David M.

The crew is as neat and reliable as the actual painting job and paint used. No boom boxes!! Cordial staff spoke English. The crew got along with each other and worked as a team. The actual finish is / was beautiful. We would like to use Brooks again!

Donna H.

Very professional, I appreciate the time they took to make sure everything was taken care of for my house! I really liked that Jaime stepped up and told me not to paint my front door like the house and then chose a color that worked great. Thank you!

Brooks Painting painted our home in Sacramento in March of 2022. Tim did a great job power washing our home. Corey, Flint, and Kristen were very helpful in the bid and. planning. process. The painting crew was excellent. Arrived on time each day and the project was finished in 5 days as promised. All worked very hard.

Mark and the team from Brook’s Painting are exceptional at their jobs. We recently renovated a 5000sqft home and they did all the painting. Their attention to detail and investment in our project is so appreciated, and we knew we were in good hands with them. The value they add by identifying issues, making suggestions and going the extra mile to deliver quality work and make sure we are happy with our home is such a breath of fresh air. I would hire this team and company for any future work in a heartbeat and can’t say enough how amazing they are!

We chose Brooks Painting based on their excellent reputation. It was an excellent choice! We had them do a complete exterior and almost complete interior painting of our two story house. They were done separately, while we were out of town. We are very pleased with the quality of the work. They even fixed up a few mistakes made by a crew that painted a portion of our interior ceilings a month prior (removal of asbestos popcorn ceiling), at no extra charge. Cleanup was great, also. They repaired some dry rot that was uncovered (extra charge, but worth it), and they even moved furniture back into place as well as put back the curtain rods that I had taken down, which wasn't expected. I highly recommend them, and will use them again for any future paint jobs.

We are long time happy customers with many positive experiences with Brooks Painting. We have appreciated the assistance (and patience) with selecting paint colors, the professionalism of the staff and the high quality of workmanship. We recently had some interior painting done and the crew was on time, neat, careful inside the house and very easy to work with. They also cheerfully handled some unexpected drywall repair. I highly recommend Brooks Painting.

Teri Greenfield

Listened to my needs and offered good suggestions. Customer confidence in value and quality.

John K.

Hiring Brooks Painting was an easy and professional process the whole way through, from the estimate to the completion of having my very high walls edged, where I was unable to reach them. Crew Leader Eric was prompt and super capable, which was a relief since he had to maneuver and climb a very tall ladder. He was also in the process of teaching a newer painter and I admired his positive and encouraging manner. In addition, he was willing to respond to my requests with ease. No regrets here! The edging looks amazing and only took 4 hours to complete.

They treat their employees in a fair manner resulting in happy workers. Company is well run. I really like the crew that was here, they were very comfortable to have around.

Pat H.

What a difference!! We hired Brooks Painting to do both an interior refresh painting and a completely new exterior color. Everything was handled professionally and as promised. The team, from estimator to office to painters on site, was responsive, friendly and skilled. Brooks Painting is the most reliable contractor we have ever hired. Thank you Jeremy, Dan, Israel, and Kristen.
