Below is a list of a few key areas of the home that Mario Brothers Home Improvement recommend you pay attention to and maintain so that you can maximize the value of your home as well as maintain a cozy and desirable place to live.
Attic:
The attic may very well be the least likely spot that you consider needs maintenance or an area that can use some improvements but, in fact, the attic is a very important area in your home. Here are a few suggestions for maintaining and improving your attic space.
- Insulation – Insulation can prevent heat loss in the wintertime which can lower your energy costs.
- Attic fan – Adding an attic fan can bring in fresh air and help cool the home in the summer reducing energy costs.
- Storage – With some drywall and the installation of stairs or a ladder, the attic is an excellent place for storage.
Bathroom:
The bathroom gets a lot of wear-and-tear, it gets dirty easily and mold and mildew can plague the bathroom. Here are a few ways to keep your bathroom looking good and free from problems.
- Leaky Faucets/Toilet – Fixing a leaky faucet or toilet can save quite a bit of money off of your water bill. You’ll also want to investigate the leaky area to ensure there aren’t any underlying issues.
- Bathroom Fan – Mold and mildew are bad news so one way to minimize it is to add a bathroom fan. This will help suck the steam out of the bathroom so that it doesn’t cause any problems.
- Caulking – Caulking the shower area is extremely important. This will prevent water from seeping behind the tiles and causing potential major problems like mold and wood rot.
Kitchen:
Looking to entertain family and friends or even selling your home? Here are a couple maintenance tips to maximize the selling potential and to make the room appealing to guests.
- Countertops – New countertops can add charm and is a simple concept for maximum appeal.
- Cabinets – Upgrading the cabinets will make them more aesthetically pleasing while also giving you the opportunity to add more space.
- Flooring – Replace the tiles or add vinyl flooring.
