PREMIER CONSTRUCTION OF DES MOINES

Add Value to Your Home This Weekend

Whether you’re getting ready to sell your home or you’re simply looking for quick ways to spruce up for spring, Premier Construction has some quick tips on how you can make your home stand out from the rest.

Update the Bathroom3-1178x630

It sounds expensive, but again, it doesn’t need to be. If your tile is in good shape and you’re not ready for the full remodel just yet, you could get away with a few quick updates for under $1,000. If your vanity isn’t in the best shape, head to your local hardware store to find something better. You can even do some digging—think of vintage shops around Des Moines—and end up with a truly unique piece. A new toilet and faucet are reasonable updates as well. You’d be surprised how much of a difference these things can make. When you’re ready to remodel your bathroom, Premier Construction is here. Take a look at what we did for this remodel in West Des Moines.

Swap Your Kitchen Hardware

Another pointer for making your kitchen stand out is to swap out any dated or boring handles. Updating your cabinet handles or pulls is an easy way to refresh your kitchen. If you’re about to put your home on the market, remember to think of the things you notice in new homes. It really is the little things. Something else to think about: update your lightswitch and outlet plates in the entire house.

Add to Your Curb Appeal

A well-kept entryway is inviting and lets guests know they’ll be walking into a home the owner cares about. Once they get to the door, that can all be taken away if you’re not careful. Take a look at your door. Is it beautiful or boring? A basic door makes visitors think your house is basic (and nobody wants that). A great door doesn’t have to be expensive—especially if you’re getting ready to sell your house. A coat of fresh, bold paint can make it stand out. Remember to pay attention to your door hardware, because no one wants hinges with paint on them or door knobs with dents.

Brighten Up the Kitchen

If your kitchen is feeling dark, new lighting could brighten your day. Overhead lighting gives your kitchen the majority of the lighting it needs, but remember to include task lighting, which is great in areas you use the most (i.e. over the kitchen sink). There’s also ambient lighting, which is often seen under cabinets and used to add a softer feel to the kitchen. This kitchen Premier Construction remodeled in Clive uses lighting to create a sense of glam.

Create an Outdoor Living Space

Make your backyard more inviting by adding new outdoor furniture. A new table and chairs doesn’t have to break the bank and can create a comfortable space for friends and family. When potential buyers are looking at your home, they’re imagining how they’ll entertain in the future, so do that work for them! We’re sure this family in Des Moines is ready to enjoy the outdoor space Premier Construction created just a couple of summers ago.
