The Remodeling diffeRence
Increasing Your Home’s Value
Increasing the value of your home is simpler than you think. In
the Lowcountry, kitchen and bath remodeling takes the lead, and
adding outdoor living space also is a popular option. Consider
the following changes or additions to your home if you are think-
ing of selling in the near future.
deck AddiTion
Since we live in a beautiful place, adding space to your home
where the outdoors can be enjoyed with friends and family will
increase your home’s value to prospective buyers.
minoR kiTchen Remodel
A complete remodeling job might not be necessary, but updated
and energy-efficient appliances can make quite a difference to
your total home value.
BATh Remodel
Again, consider whether your bathroom could use updated
fixtures, lighting or wall color – small accent changes can mean a
big difference.
Siding ReplAcemenT
You hear the phrase “curb appeal” often, but what truly creates
curb appeal for your home? Upgrading the siding is a sure-fire
way to make any home more attractive, eco-friendly and protect-
ed from the Lowcountry weather elements.
WindoW ReplAcemenTS
Nothing dates a home more swiftly than old windows. New win-
dows are worth the investment, whether you are planning to sell
or simply want to lower your energy costs.
pAinT JoB
One of the least expensive and most time-effective changes
you can make, a new paint job, is imperative for improving the
home’s appearance. Consider painting the wood trim to pre-
vent rot, which is a common challenge for homeowners in the
Lowcountry.
