Upgrades That Make a Difference: Driveway Repair Delray Beach

http://actionconcretefl.com/


For homeowners in South Florida considering selling their homes and wanting to increase its’ value to the max beforehand; consider some of these upgrades that will truly make a difference in how much you get for your most important asset.

I have lived in the South Florida area for over two decades. I've managed to do alright for myself and have a few homes; two in Fort Lauderdale and one in Delray Beach. I recently decided to sell all three homes and downsize to a single home simply because owning property has become too much of a hassle. In doing so, I got all three appraised and did not like the estimated value that I was given. I decided to do some research on relatively minimal investments and upgrades I could do to my homes in order to increase their value before sale. Here’s what I found.

The home that I raised the value of the most was the one up in Delray. My first step was addressing the curb appeal of the house. South Florida is a beautiful place with gorgeous homes; however, a lot of houses look exactly the same. I wanted my home to stand out from the rest in my neighborhood, so I contacted a top notch driveway repair Delray Beach team to come in and completely overhaul my driveway. The driveway turned out wonderful. I couldn't have asked for more. The investment was relatively small compared to the increased value that was added to my home because of it. Remember, sometimes you have to spend a little bit of money in order to make even more.

The two homes down in Fort Lauderdale probably could have benefited from that same driveway repair Delray Beach team, but I decided to go a different route with them. I addressed the backyard of both homes instead of the front. For the home with no pool, I simply had a patio repair company come in and lay new decorative concrete in the patio area and build out a fantastic brick fountain structure that is absolutely breathtaking. For the home with a pool, I had the poolside masonry work freshly stained to a color that complimented the color of the home. I was happy to find that the stain also included a sealant, which is a good selling point. Both homes increased in value by nearly 10 percent with, again, minimal investment.

Small-Cost Repairs and Upgrades Will Make You Money

I think the most important thing that I learned about selling a home in South Florida nowadays is that homebuyers want something different. Focus on the curb appeal of your home and address the patio area. Of course, the inside is important as well, but in our tropical climate; who wants to sit inside? Focus on the details and invest minimally in your home to see a larger return on your most important investment.

Get the Best Patio Repair Delray Beach Has to Offer

Create your very own backyard paradise with the best patio repair Delray Beach has to offer.
I recently had a fantastic idea to upgrade my patio area. I wanted some masonry work done to my poolside deck along with some decorative concrete on my walls. I was happy to find Action Concrete & Masonry to do the job. This company was referred to me by a close friend who I have thanked multiple times for doing so. My patio area is now as relaxing and beautiful as ever thanks to Action Concrete.
I’ve had some terrible experiences with home repair in the past, so I was reluctant to invest in my patio project. South Florida has countless options for labor; however, I’ve found that there are tons of companies out there who don’t quite do what they say they will when working on your home. Action Concrete & Masonry delivered on their promises and even exceeded them by giving me the patio area of my dreams for an affordable and reasonable cost.

After the repairs were done, I decided to have my home appraised for the first time in over a decade. I was told by the appraised that the work I had done to my patio gave my home major appeal and increased its’ value significantly. South Florida is the land of cookie-cutter homes, and I live in a development where most of the houses look the same; however, now with my unique patio, my home stands out above the rest. My neighbors, family members and close friends who have visited since the patio remodel are all amazed at the difference that it made to my poolside, lounge area.

If you or someone you know is looking into patio repair, masonry repair or need concrete work done for your South Florida home, I highly recommend Action Concrete & Masonry to do the job. Their professional and polite representatives and teams members will blow your expectations out of the water. I also advise to not be fooled by the companies who try to underbid your quotes and make promises that aren’t in writing, because that’s a good way to get burned. Action Concrete’s rates are very competitive and they get the job done quickly so that you can utilize the area that you have had repaired!
