Home Improvements and Which Ones to Do

Whether you plan to sell in the near future, or just want to improve the value of your home, here is one low cost improvement you should consider.
Opportunity Knocks. Still opening the front door with a flimsy standard-issue knob? Choose a hearty piece of hardware that emphasizes sturdiness, in a bold color that says, ôlook at me!ö Refinish the front door with a bright hue, or faux finish a steel door to look like wood for a refreshing first impression.

An Easy Appliance Fix – Without Calling an Expert

Fixing a chip in a Porcelain Appliance or Fixture

Tiny chips and dings on expensive porcelain fixtures and appliances are distressing-but fixable. With a few careful dabs of touch-up glaze and a little sanding and buffing you can make those ugly blemishes vanish.
Glazes that match the original manufacturer’s colors nearly perfectly are available (or can be ordered) from home centers, hardware stores and paint suppliers.
Clean the damaged area with soap and water, rinse and let dry. Thoroughly mix the touch-up glaze. Dab the glaze onto the damaged area with the enclosed applicator brush, and let it dry for 24 hours. Repeat, if necessary, until the damaged area is filled, letting the glaze completely dry before recoating. Lightly sand the area smooth with the sandpaper enclosed in the kit, and then buff it with a soft cloth.

Many Ventura County Homes Appreciated by over 16% Last Year. If you’re thinking of selling, yours may have now have enough equity to sell without being “Short”.
