Painting your home has many benefits and will have a great impact on the appearance and overall feel of the space. Paint is a relatively easy and inexpensive way to give your home a fresh new look, and if you’re going to put forth the effort to sell your house, you should hire a professional make sure the job is done correct.

Some important factors to be considered are: You will want to stick to neutral colors, white, beige and cream are the best colors for creating an easier sale.  White reflects the most light out of any color and therefore it can make the rooms appear larger. Remember your buyer’s preference may be different than yours.

Touch-up Painting-A large number of houses are made of brick or stucco with wood trim, painting the trim will make the house look more sound and appealing.  As time passes these wood pieces have a tendency to become worn, with cracked and dull looking paint, so painting will give your house a new fresh look.

Porches and Decks –Re-painting a deck or porch is a must, as home buyers not only look at the interior of the house, but also imagine themselves spending time outside.  Staining or re-painting a deck will make them stand out and could be a huge selling point.   In addition to painting your deck, replace any loose railings, cracked or splintered boards.

Shutters-Shutters can be a charming touch to any home, when they are well maintained and in good shape.  However if they’re not well maintained, and are in bad shape they are one of the fastest way to make your home appear to be neglected.  When it comes to the majority of shutters sanding and one or two coats of exterior paint can make your shutters look as good as new.
