The second most important aspect of making your home sellable is the exterior. It’s amazing what a good power washing of the exterior of your house and roof will do to make your home more desirable. If the paint is chipped a fresh coat of paint, new shutters and a good cleaning on the windows will give you a great return and help sell your home quicker. It’s well worth the cost to do it yourself or have it done by a professional.

If your thinking of painting the exterior of the house maybe change the color up abit. If your home doesn’t have shutters add them. Some DIY stores have computer programs that help coordinate colors for trim, shutters, etc… so check them out because it lessens the guesswork of color selection. If your going to paint buy a good quality exterior paint, it will pay for itself with the extra coverage you’ll get.

The above applies even if your home is sided but it involves more preparation work if you decide to paint. Powerwashing is usually the better option with siding atleast initially. You may have to paint if the powerwashing doesn’t give your home that clean crisp look prospective buyers are looking for. In most cases the painting is done by spraying and involves more preparation work, ie… taping windows, doors, etc… and better weather conditions then if you were brush painting wood.
