Payson AZ Real Estate Fall TipsPayson AZ Real Estate: 5 Areas to Address in Your Fall Maintenance for Your Home

Now is the time to check round your home for any upkeep and maintenance that needs to be done. Spring and Fall cleaning are very popular for keeping the inside of your house clean and clutter free but don’t forget about the exterior of your home because regular maintenance can really help when you go to sell your home in the Payson AZ real estate market. Below are five areas to address during your fall maintenance of your home.

Gutters – Cleaning the gutters on your home is a must at least twice a year. If you are unsteady on a ladder, consider hiring a handyman to do this job for you. After the winds and rains of the monsoon season, pine needles and leaves can clog gutters quickly. Begin by removing debris and flushing with water. Tighten any necessary brackets as well. If gutters are damaged beyond repair consider replacing them with new ones. Most new gutters come with built-in leaf guards which can reduce maintenance time in the future.

Doors & Windows: Now is the time to check windows and doors for any air gaps and leaks. Come winter, you don’t want heat to escape which can raise your energy bill. So, some prevention now can save money later. Caulk around windows and replace any worn weather stripping around doors.

Roof: Inspect your roof to ensure it is still in good shape. Look for any missing or loose shingles. Repair these yourself or get a roofing contractor to do the job before winter sets in and causes a leaky roof in the middle of a storm.

Cooling System: You will want to cover your air conditioner or swamp cooler units as soon as they are not needed anymore. Remember to drain swamp coolers thoroughly and vacuum internal parts of air conditioners. Covering your units will prevent rusting of essential internal working parts.

Heating System: Just as you want to prepare your cooling system for winter, you want to ensure your heating system for your home is in good working order before you need it. If you have a fireplace, now is the time to get it cleaned and inspected. Also, call your heating and cooling contractor to do a thorough inspection of your furnace system.

So, if you address this five areas in your fall maintenance for your home this year you will be protecting your investment for when you are ready to sell your home. If you are ready to sell your home now, call Rory at 928-595-0136 to list your home on the Payson AZ real estate market.

You may be wanting to remodel your kitchen as a nice upgrade while you still live in your home but you also want to make sure not to go overboard so you can get a good return on your investment when you sell your house. Some areas to consider in your kitchen remodel are cabinets, fixtures, countertops, flooring, and kitchen appliances. Below are some tips for remodeling all these areas without going over budget.

Kitchen Cabinets – Most people may want to do some major demo and replace all the cabinets in the kitchen. However, it is amazing how simply refinishing the existing cabinets will bring them back to life. A new finish or a fresh coat of paint can make a big difference without spending a lot of money.

Fixtures – Lighting and faucet fixtures can be relatively inexpensive to replace and really update a kitchen. Remember you don’t have to buy the most expensive kitchen faucet to give your kitchen a new look.

Countertops – Of course, everyone would love brand new granite countertops in their kitchen however a less expensive choice can be just as good especially if you are thinking of selling your house in the near future.

Flooring – Replacing old flooring in your kitchen by updating it to either wood or tile is generally a good investment. If your existing kitchen floor is tile perhaps just getting it professionally cleaned will do the trick and save you some money.
Kitchen Appliances – Now here is an area where you can really blow your remodeling budget. Again, everyone would love all matching stainless steel appliances but consider your return on investment when you are going to sell. If you need to replace your appliances by all means do that but consider maybe matching black or ivory appliances to keep your budget in check.

So, if you are looking to get the best return on your investment with your kitchen remodel, be sure to address these five areas.  And if you are looking for property for sale Payson AZ, call Rory Huff at 928-595-0136.
