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.

Brooks Painting has be in business a long time in our area. As a native resident we have seen and heard of their professional & quality painting. In looking for bids on painting our house Brooks was referred numerous times. When Jeremy came out to meet us we were sold on using their services and looked no further. Every aspect of this company was very upfront, professional and made us feel safe, valued and comfortable hiring them. The office staff kept good communication with us. The color matching was perfect. The crew showed up on time, were respectful and did a great job from prep to the final end of the project. The warranty offered was a plus and the liability coverage gave us peace of mind also. The price was well worth all that was included in the project so we had little to do but move our stuff away from the house. Thank you Brooks painting, crew and staff for making our home new again :)

Brooks did a fantastic job on our exterior and interior paint jobs. Quality was high, price was reasonable, and the team was extremely professional and detail-oriented. Mark was our crew lead and the team performed a number of exterior wood repairs, a door re-stain, interior and exterior painting. Mark clearly takes a lot of pride in his work and went above and beyond to ensure the work was high-quality, including finding exact matching siding to fix dry rot, and performing minor repairs that weren't even included in the quote. He and the team were all consistently positive and personable, joking with each other throughout the day, while also genuinely complimenting each other on the quality of their work. It was great to see, and that positivity definitely showed through the work they did. We couldn't be happier with the end result.

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.

Brooks Panting Inc. just finished painting the exterior of our house. The crew did a terrific job. The house is a mid century modern with redwood paneling and an unusual amount of trim work. The Brooks crew was efficient, the quality of the painting was exceptional and the work was completed on time! Because of the age of the house several panels needed to be replaced. Brooks had the expertise to closely match the new paneling with the old paneling. I would not hesitate to recommend this company. They are professionals!

Daniel Dykstra

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!
