How to Boost Your Curb Appeal

Placing your house on the market can be a very stressful experience, but if you play your cards right, you can get out of trouble quick and with a profit. Much has changed over the past few decades and people have become reluctant to purchase houses without thoroughly investigation.

However, the first impression still plays an important part in the process, even if you’re looking to sell your house in Las Vegas or in Spring Creek. Most potential buyers will refuse to step inside your house if in doing so they have to pass by a dirty swimming pool or a neglected flower garden.

Simple tricks to seal the deal

There are a lot of ways to improve the overall quality of your on-the-market house, but let’s focus on the outdoors aspects. The best way to spot these aspects is by putting yourself in your customers’ shoes. You wouldn’t like to buy a house that looks abandoned, you want it to radiate joy and cleanliness.

Believe it or not, even doing a little concrete cleaning helps your curb appeal. Get rid of those nasty oil stains your car imprinted in the concrete, take the time to drain the pool and clean its walls of sponges, trim the bushes and water those rosebeds if you want buyers to take you serious.

And these simple tricks apply for every house on the market, regardless its location! Don’t count on the fact that your house is in Las Vegas if you want to sell it to a young family, but try instead to offer them a secure and peaceful home for their newborn.

Other simple ways to boost your curb appeal are:

Fixing the chimney or potential foundation problems;
Hiring a gardner to tend for the trees, flowers and lawn;
Giving the garage a fresh layer of paint;
Fixing any other potential problem such as broken pipes, leaks, faulty lights and appliances, etc.

Trying to sell a house has never been an easy job, but that’s no reason to be upset. If you’re patient and determined, in the end you will find the right people to make your place their own. Try to be honest with your potential customers and remember that even a simple thing such as concrete cleaning helps your curb appeal.

If you’re like us, you’re probably overexcited about the end of winter and the coming of spring! Let’s face it, snow only looks good at Christmas time, but once the winter holidays are over, all you can think about is how bad you miss diving in your outdoors swimming pool.

Is your swimming pool in poor condition? Then get ready for spring by refinishing your pool coating! And don’t worry about the money, because unless your pool needs to be gel coated again, then you can do all the work by yourself, with affordable materials. Even if you live in Las Vegas!

Why should I refinish my pool coating?

There are many reasons why you should refinish your pool coating and maintain its condition. Just like a house, your swimming pool is a construction, thus a financial and time investment. Once you start neglecting it, the pool coating will begin to wear out, to a point where not only your pool will look bad, but it will also feel uncomfortable at touch. Unless you like to buy a lot of swimwear or contract an expert to re-plaster your pool coating, you should probably get ready for spring by refinishing your pool coating!

How do I do it?

First, you will need to drain the pool. Use one or two sump pumps to get all the water drained from the pool. If there’s still some left to the crud at the bottom or if there’s a lot of debris accumulated, make sure you clean it all off. Wash the pool bottom once more and drain that water, as well.

Depending on the weather, you might want to wait a couple of hours or even days before you proceed to the next step. Use this waiting time to shop around for the paint that suits best your pool’s needs and aesthetics. Gather as much information as you can, from neighbors, friends or even the retailer.

If you plan on doing all the work on your own, then make sure you have all the supplies you need around you. The last thing you need is stop the painting process to go shop for new rollers.

Go around the pool wall with your hand and inspect if it’s completely dry. If you paint over wet areas, the paint will chip away in time.

Most retailers say that one layer of paint coating is enough, but even if you use epoxy paint, it’s better to apply a second layer, for prolonged service.

This might come as a surprise to you, but despite today’s economy, most people still buy houses based on the first impressions. So if you want to pass the key and get the money, there are a few things you should consider doing, in order to help your curb appeal.

Whether you live in Las Vegas or New York, a house that looks good on the outside will always draw attention. A nicely trimmed hedgerow, a healthy lawn and a clean sidewalk can be the difference that seals the deal with your client.

Have we told you how concrete restoration can increase the value of your home? It does! Nobody likes a stained and cracked concrete sidewalk or a garage with a neglected concrete floor. If you ignore these aspects when you put your house on the market, people will think you’re just interested in your profit and not in offering them a new place to live.

If you don’t know where to start with concrete restoration, here’s a shortlist:

Take a good look at your concrete sidewalk or garage floor and observe what needs to be fixed. If the concrete is dirty, dust it off with a patio broom and pluck out the weeds grown through the cracks.
Use sand to patch the smaller cracks, but purchase a patching compound if you need to cover large cracks. Large cracks form in time, due to poor structure, transit or weather.
Silicon latex works great for concrete restoration and is available at most hardware stores.
Remove the stains in your concrete sidewalk by pressure washing it. Make sure to cover everything surrounding the area, because pressure washing can blast tiny concrete pieces.
For enclosed surfaces, such as the garage floor, make your own concrete cleaner by mixing water with oxygenated bleach. Be sure to keep the windows open while you mop the floor, to allow the fumes to evacuate.

You might find it odd, but for most men the garage is their second home. Soon after they get married, when the family responsibilities unite with the job demands, the garage becomes the perfect refuge of the modern man.

If you’re one of these guys who like to spend countless hours tinkering with your car engine or disassembling computers in the silence and peace of your garage, know now that there are ways to make this sacred place of man even better: you can now spruce up your garage with floor coatings!

Floor coatings are an amazing add for every garage, small or large, old or new, from Las Vegas or San Francisco! They come in a wide variety of colors and you can even add flaking materials, if you fancy yourself as a classy kind of guy. Besides, a nice stone floor coating is a lot easier to clean than trying to take out gasoline or oil stains from a cement floor.

But what exactly is a garage floor coating? Most garage floor coatings consist of two types of products: epoxy and paint. The epoxy is the important component, while the paint is applied for the aesthetic reasons. However, if you’d rather cover your garage floor with some sort of carpet, then the paint is not necessary. Simply spread the epoxy coat on the garage floor and let it ventilate for a while. The hotter the weather, the quicker it will be done.

Whether you plan on selling the house or simply want to treat your garage with the respect it deserves for being there for you, remember that you can now spruce up your garage with floor coatings! Tired of the gasoline stains on your concrete garage floor? Tired of sweeping the dust in your garage every weekend? Give your garage the makeover it deserves and boost up your comfort level with some nice, modern garage floor coatings.
