Curb Appeal, Lower Energy Bills with New Siding
Here’s a tip that can help you sell your home this spring by making your home more attractive, and more affordable to live in for potential buyers. Replace the siding and upgrade the exterior insulation.
Its a simple move and simple investment and can make a major difference in curb appeal (the trick that actually gets them to stop and look at the house) and counter top appeal.
What’s Counter Top Appeal?
Counter top appeal is the feeling a potential buyer experiences when they walk into a house and read up on some of the facts about the house left on the kitchen counter. This can include a home warranty offer, it can also include another flyer in color of the home describing the house. Plus, it should include a 1 year history of the homes heating and electric bills so that a potential home buyer can see just how well the homes systems and insulation perform.
There is nothing better than having a home that has great curb appeal, great door way appeal (that warm fuzzy “Ooh that’s really nice” mention when they walk through the front door) and especially counter top appeal.
Siding a home these days is not terribly expensive and considering heating and cooling costs with oil at $100 a barrel, it is an investment that can save a new home buyer a great deal of money.
Counter top appeal is not created by leaving your liquor out on the counter and offering free beers and shots hoping to find a buyer willing to put beer goggles on and spend $300k, unless you are sourcing your home buyers before they go to an alcohol rehab.
Where to Find a Siding Contractor?
Now you could probably walk out to the mail box and pick up the siding flyer of the day. You might even check the yellow pages, but these sources do not guarantee a great siding contractor. They may not even guarantee a contractor that even knows that they are doing with siding.
However, you can check here to find siding contractors and determine which ones meet your needs and budget.
