In considering the improvement of certain aspects of your home prior to selling you must ask yourself; "what will benefit my bottom line price?" There are some simple cosmetic fixes that you can make but be mindful that this is bestowing your taste and personality on a home when you are trying to market it to other people. People who likely will not share your exact design preferences. Instead, if you are looking to make some improvements to shore up your asking price, why not take care of some major structural elements? Fixing these up will look great in the home inspection and speak highly of your home's quality.
One of the major things that you can do to dramatically increase the home's value is to put on a new roof. Most new roofs will also come with a 15 or 20 year warranty, these two things combined are an enormous selling point. Another great aspect of this is the fact that a new roof can make a home look much more orderly and clean. If you combine this with a new paint job and some real attention to the yard and driveway the home will look good as new!
When having a new roof installed there are some considerations that you need to be mindful of. If you live in an area with a home owners association that has community rules then make sure that your new roofing material complies with the regulations. Also ensure that the company you hire has a good local reputation and all the relevant insurance; and of course, references are always a good thing. There is a certain secure feeling that comes with the knowledge that the roof of the home you have just purchased is new and has a lengthy warranty attached.
