Summer is the season for buying and selling real estate. If you’re driving through your metro Atlanta neighborhood and spotting “for sale” signs, chances are you’re also thinking about what it takes to get your own home market-ready.
We know the process can feel overwhelming — the staging, the repairs, the long to-do list. Our highly-trained team of painters is here to help with everything from professional paint color consultation to exterior house painting.
Start with a Walk-Through
Before you start repainting every wall or staging every room, consult with your realtor. They’ll know what buyers in your area are looking for — and that guidance is far more reliable than general home decor advice. Odds are, you don’t need to repaint your entire home. Focus your time and budget where it counts.
Kitchen Face Lift
It’s a well-established fact that kitchens sell houses. Few sellers are willing to put in a brand-new kitchen before moving out, but you can split the difference by painting your kitchen cabinets — as long as they’re in good shape — and replacing dated hardware with a newer, modern look. Coordinating color schemes between counters, cabinetry, appliances, and backsplashes makes a significant difference.
Neutral Paint Colors
Neutral paint colors sell houses because they allow potential buyers to envision themselves in your space. A cohesive, well-chosen color scheme enhances your square footage and gives your home that modern, put-together look buyers are looking for.
Focus your efforts on the most-used spaces: kitchens and bathrooms. After that, prioritize covering any paint colors that are too unique or bold for the everyday buyer.
Don’t Overlook the Exterior
If you’ve recently painted your home’s exterior, you may not need a full repaint before listing. Pressure washing the exterior, deck, and driveway is an inexpensive way to increase curb appeal. For homes that do need a refresh, exterior house painting is one of the highest-return investments you can make before going to market. Remember to pay attention to ceilings, trim, and doorways — details that buyers notice.
Touch Ups, Add Up
One of the best things you can do as you prepare your home for resale is to touch up any scuffs or damage to your walls and trim. Then make simple changes like adding a fresh paint color to your front door. Small improvements compound into a polished, move-in-ready presentation.
You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
Simply put, you don’t have to walk the home resale road on your own. Our family of painters is here to help with everything from painting kitchen cabinets to color selection. One call will have your metro Atlanta home ready to sell.
