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.

My experience with Brooks Painting has been outstanding, and, if it were an option on Google, I would assign 100 stars to their work. Mark and his crew were exceptional in painting both the inside and outside of my Central Davis home. They were considerate, careful, and respectful of my furnishings and yard. Kristen and her office staff were also responsive to my queries and were timely in scheduling the work. Thank you Brooks Painting for assisting in transforming my house into a beautiful home!

Hollis Skaife

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

They are on time! They show up! It was a big job and they were good and fast. Very nice guys.

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

Consummate professionals! We hired Brooks to repaint the exterior of our house, and they did a fantastic job. The paint looks wonderful, everyone was also on time, friendly, and respectful of our property. Exceptional communication through the entire process. I was worried about damage to the landscaping near the house (bad previous experience with another outfit), but they were all very understanding and the crew was super careful. Did what they said they would do with no weirdness, no smoking, no radio, and they cleaned up after themselves nicely. This picky customer is very happy!

Lisa Goodin

We would recommend them highly. [They] painted and did a good job. Kept everything clean and cleaned up after, very polite.

Muriel Y.

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.

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.

M Hawkins

Great job in every way- quality of work to customer service.

Debbie M.

I have always received excellent customer service and the crews are always very concerned about ensuring satisfaction!

Shawn W.

Eric and his crew were on time every day and did a very thorough job. I was thrilled that they were willing to paint my outdoor light fixtures which were getting rusty. I was particularly impressed how much time they spent going over their work at the end to catch spots that were missed. I’ll be using them again for interior painting.
