KEEP YOUR RICHMOND HILL PROPERTY RUNNING SMOOTHLY

Ensuring your home "looks" good and is in proper working order, not only makes it more attractive and comfortable, but it can also increase the market value of the property.

Homeowners who plan to sell their home are often reluctant to invest time and money on improvement projects that may not pay them back. But unless these improvements are very specialized, any project you choose - from fixing leaky faucets to installing new energy efficient windows - will start to pay you back in energy savings and comfort long before you sell.

EASY MAINTENANCE and REPAIRS

Start with simple repairs that don't cost a lot and you can do yourself: securing loose tiles, adjusting a door, installing a lock, repairing a leaky faucet or pipe, and so on.

BIGGER UPGRADES

A bathroom tune up can pay big dividends in determining the market value of your home. The first items to replace should be the fixtures -- the sink, faucets, vanity, bathtub, shower, and toilet. This is where you will add value and save money by opting for a water-efficient fixtures and energy-saving devices.

The floors, walls and accessories are not an essential part of a bathroom tune-up, but you can save time and money when you do the complete overhaul at once. If the decor in your home is bothering you, don't rip everything out. All it may take to make your home look more attractive are small improvements such as: refacing cabinets and counter tops, changing the colour scheme, repainting, hanging new wall coverings and installing new lighting. 

OTHER HOME IMPROVEMENTS

Other good improvements to your Richmond Hill property include replacing old carpets and flooring with new, more durable products; adding a garage or a carport if your home does not have one; upgrading your basement space; replacing old windows with new energy-efficient ones; adding terraces, wooden decks and fences that add privacy; and investing in landscaping that adds value and is easy to maintain.
