Donahue Property Group | Summer Repairs: Prioritizing and Budgeting for Home Improvements


1. First Things First: Fix 'Em Up!


Before you put that "For Sale" sign out, let's focus on the must-do repairs. Take a good look around and spot those areas needing some love. We're talking about leaky roofs and gutters – have to keep that water at bay! No one likes a dripping faucet, so let's get that sorted too. Also, check the floors and carpets for any damage, and patch up any cracks in the walls and ceilings. Plus, make sure those windows and doors are in very good shape!


2. DIY Makeover: Low on Budget, Big on Impact!


Who said improvements had to cost a fortune? Not us! Get your creative hat on, and let's DIY our way to a fabulous home:


  • Paint It Fresh

A splash of paint can do wonders, so grab that roller and go for it. Stick to neutral colors – they're crowd-pleasers.


  • Curb Appeal Magic

You want that curb to have some wow-factor. Trim those bushes, add some colorful flowers, and voilà, instant charm!


  • Lighting Upgrade

Out with the old and in with the new! Swap those dated fixtures for modern ones and set the perfect ambiance.


  • Kitchen Glow-Up

Instead of breaking the bank on new cabinets, give 'em a facelift with a fresh coat of paint or a bit of refinishing. They'll look brand new!


  • Declutter and Organize

Less is more, they say. So tidy up and declutter – make your space feel inviting and spacious.


  • Fix It Yourself

You've got the power! Fix those minor issues like leaky faucets or squeaky hinges. Show your home some TLC.


By getting your hands dirty and being a bit creative, you can give your place a fantastic makeover without emptying your wallet.
