Living in Washington, D.C., known for its affluent lifestyle, can be both desirable and costly. The Cost-of-Living Index indicates that it’s nearly 50% more expensive on average. In such a competitive market, maintaining a home can be time-consuming and costly. However, with JWHI’s skilled handyman services, budget-conscious homeowners can easily improve their home’s value.
Boosting Curb Appeal
First impressions matter whether you live in a single-family suburban home or a cute Capitol Hill rowhouse. A well-maintained exterior significantly contributes to curb appeal, which accounts for about 7 percent of a home’s perceived value, according to The Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics. Some of our exterior services that can improve your property value include:
Power Washing
Years of dirt and grime can dull a home’s exterior. Power washing siding, walkways, and decks can instantly make your property shine with a cleaner and more inviting appearance.
Painting
A fresh coat of paint can work wonders in updating any home. Whether touching up trim or repainting the entire house, a skilled handyperson can revitalize your home’s exterior, protecting it from the elements and boosting its aesthetic appeal. It improves a home’s resale value and offers a 55% return on investment (ROI). Paint the front door in a bold color to create a striking first impression.
Roof Repairs
A damaged roof is a major red flag for potential buyers. Our handymen can address minor roof repairs, preventing further damage and prolonging the lifespan of your roof investment.
Fence Replacement
A damaged or outdated fence detracts from a home’s curb appeal and pose a security risk. Replacing an old fence or installing a new one can significantly enhance your property value while providing more privacy and security.
Enhancing Interior Spaces
The interior of your home is just as important as the exterior. Our top-rated handyman services can address a range of interior improvements that can increase value and appeal:
Drywall Repair
Cracks and holes in drywall leave an unsightly appearance. A professional handyman can expertly repair damaged drywall and provide a smooth, professional paint finish for a lasting impression.
Minor Renovations
Small updates can make a big difference, like replacing outdated fixtures, refinishing cabinets, or installing new flooring. A handyperson can handle these projects efficiently and cost-effectively, boosting your home’s value.
Fixture Installation
Upgrading light fixtures, faucets, and other hardware can modernize your home and improve its functionality. Our handypersons have electrical and plumbing experience and can safely and correctly install these items for less than a tradesperson.
Other Interior Services
From carpentry to repairing damaged doors and windows, and even tile regrouting and repair, a handyman can tie up loose ends around the house to improve your home’s value.
In a competitive real estate market, every detail adds to your home’s value. A professional handyman can help turn a diamond in the rough into a neighborhood gem and significantly improve your home’s value.
