The Ultimate Guide to Cost-Efficient Home Improvement Deals

Looking for some cost-efficient home improvement deals for your customers? Making home improvement changes to a home doesn’t have to be expensive, or a big renovation. Below are some easy and affordable tips on how to help your customers feel more at home by implementing small changes that make a big impact.

3 Quick and Affordable Home Improvement Projects

1. Spice up the interior with paint

A paint job is one of the most cost-efficient ways to improve your customer’s home and can completely change the look and feel of a room. As well as being affordable, it’s a quick and easy way to update your client’s home — and can be easily changed again in the future.

But what is the best way to start this home improvement process?

First, you’ll want to make sure you have the right tools for the job. Nothing is worse than getting halfway through a job and realizing you don’t have the right equipment. Come prepared with the basic essentials: plenty of paint and paint primer, brushes, paint pans, rollers, masking tape, and a canvas sheet. Also, think about what tools you need depending on the type of room, like a step ladder and roller extension poles for rooms with tall walls. You can buy these tools at your local paint or home improvement store. 

Having the right equipment can make home improvement effortless and easy on your and your customer’s pockets.

2. Transform the exterior with plant life

Home improvements can also include the outside part of a customer’s home. Your customer’s landscaping and exterior are one of the first details others will notice, so make sure it creates a good first impression. Additionally, 99% of the National Association of Realtors’ members believe that curb appeal is essential to attracting buyers.

One of the best parts about landscaping is that your greatest resource is all around you! You can create an inviting environment by using flowers and plants—but only if the plants and landscaping are well-maintained.

It is important to find plants that will thrive in your client’s environment and are easy to maintain. Utilizing perennial flowers in your customer’s garden ensures beautiful blooms that bounce back for two-three growing seasons naturally. Pairing gorgeous perennial flowers like Hollyhock and Daylilies with annual blooms that last for a whole season like Marigolds and Zinnias is an amazing way to keep your customer’s garden feeling fresh at a low cost. 

Installing a sprinkler system and cutting the grass every one-two weeks are also great ways to see a healthy, happy yard for your customer all year long.

3. Improve utilities with new appliances

Nothing says home improvement deals like cutting down basic costs on utilities. Help your customers save on electric and water bills by giving their appliances a cost-easy upgrade.

Even though the savings of utility costs are long-term, replacing appliances for your customers can be costly upfront. To make sure that the appliances you replace really need the upgrade, here are some of the telltale signs that your customer’s appliances need an upgrade:

• Refrigerator: The fridge is the center of every household. A refrigerator likely needs to be replaced if it’s over ten years old, if food is spoiling quicker than normal, or if there’s condensation on the outside.
• Oven: The oven can be a dangerous appliance, even in the prime of health. The oven needs to be replaced if there is excessive rusting, heat escapes when it’s not supposed to, or if nearby surfaces seem burned.
• Laundry Machines: The washer and dryer can be a costly duo to repair. You can tell if one or the other needs to be replaced if the washer leaks, the dryer can’t dry the smallest loads, or if either machine makes strange noises.
