Homes for Sale – Do’s and Don’ts for Your Bathroom Remodel

It is always said, “Don’t do a major remodel just before selling your home.” But how about a bathroom remodel? If you remodel your bathroom, you will typically recoup over 72% of its cost. Buyers love homes for sale which have newly remodeled bathrooms. This makes remodeling your bathroom a wise decision but here are some do’s and don’ts to remember.

First the Do’s:

Do Assess Your Skill Level – Of course, you may think it may be cost effective to do all the work yourself but in the long run hiring a professional is always best. But perhaps you can handle the new paint job and just need to hire a plumber and someone to do the tile.
Do Pick the Best Fixture Finishes – It is very easy for finishes to go “out of style” so it’s best to choose inexpensive fixtures if you are going for a trendy look or neutral if you want a timeless look.
Do Maximize Storage – A home can never have too much storage space so try to plan in extra storage into your bathroom remodeling plan. Think about built in wall shelving to put towels, sheets, and extra toiletry items along with cleaning supplies.

Now the Don’ts…

Don’t Move the Plumbing – If you get into moving the plumbing and ventilation in your bathroom it can become a costly affair. It’s best to plan your remodel around your existing plumbing fixtures.
Don’t Forget the Design Plan – And speaking of plan, it’s important to not skip the design plan when starting your remodel. The layout and function of the bathroom can vary depending whether it’s a guest, master, or kid’s bathroom. For instance, guests may appreciate extra shelving to store their items while visiting and a double sink in a kid’s bathroom may help getting ready in the morning quicker and easier.

So you will want to remember this Do’s and Don’ts when doing your next bathroom remodel. And if you have any questions about selling your home in the Payson real estate market, contact Rory Huff at 928-595-0136

Payson Real Estate – Summer Home Maintenance Tips

During the summer months it is easy to neglect our homes while we are enjoying vacation or busy having weekend fun! It is very important to take care of our homes all year long. Below are some home maintenance tips to do to your Payson real estate in between all your weekend summer fun.

Dryer Vent – Cleaning your dryer vents is a great summer maintenance project. If you don’t clean your dryer vent regular, lint can accumulate and possibly cause a fire. Lint build up can also make your dryer run less efficiently, wasting money on your electric or gas bill. It is much easier to clean your dryer vents if you purchase a vent-cleaning brush kit. First, begin with cleaning the lint trap. Next, remove the duct from the dryer and then from the wall, cleaning thoroughly. Finally, clean the vent outside of the house and keep it clean and free of lint.

Gutters – In the Payson, Arizona and Rim Country areas, pine needles and oak leaves can really clog your gutters. If you don’t clean your gutters before the monsoons, it can create a real mess. Typically, you will want to clean your gutters of debris two or three times each year.

Roof – While you are up there cleaning your gutters it is a good idea to take a look at the roof. Even better it’s recommend to have your roof inspected by a professional annually. A professional can detect a small problem and fix it before it becomes a major repair. Again, prior to the raining season is the best time to have your roof inspected.

Air Conditioning – We all know the temperatures are heating up. The first thing you will want to do is change your filter once a month. Also, having your air conditioning tuned up by a professional before the summer heat comes is always a great idea. A professional will check refrigerant levels, inspect the fan, and clean the coils. Two important ways to keep summer electric bills lower is to have a clean air filter and have the refrigerant at the proper level.

So, as you can see, these are four areas where you can do some simple home maintenance this summer to give your home a little TLC. If you have any questions about selling your home in the Payson real estate market, contact Rory Huff at 928-595-0136
