How Much Does Painting A Home Increase Its Value?

When it comes to selling a property, first impressions matter. Chipping, fading, and peeling paint can send the wrong message to prospective home buyers and turn them away. If you want to sell your home, consider painting the property before putting it on the market. Painting your home is a great way to give your home a makeover and increase value. This will make your property more attractive to prospective buyers and you may be able to close the deal sooner than you expected.

 

 

Deciding which color to paint your home can be difficult. Most homeowners find it difficult to balance the task of choosing a color that is appealing to all, while still maintaining their home’s character. If you need assistance choosing the right color for your home that will add value and charm a potential buyer, it’s time to talk to the pros at Diamond Painting. Our team has compiled a list of some of the most popular colors to help narrow down the color-choosing processes for your residential painting project.

White

 

 

Many residential painters recommend painting the kitchen, living room, exterior, and bathroom white. Painting different areas in your home white is a great way to brighten up your property. White makes spaces look and feel bigger and more inviting. To make your property more appealing to prospective buyers, stick to warm white colors. You can also choose from cool or neutral undertones.

Light Blue

Shades of light blue are soothing and evoke clarity. A 2021 study by Zillow found that light blue was the most popular color to paint a bathroom and can increase the value of a home by $5,000 or more. Light blue is a neutral color. It conveys feelings of serenity and peace. Painting the bathroom light blue can create a relaxing space, resulting in increased home value. It is a great way to make your bathroom look inviting, comfortable, cozy, and spacious.

Greige

Greige is a color between gray and beige. Greige evokes a feeling of class and sophistication. When used correctly, greige can make a home feel warm and welcoming. Repainting your living room greige or any other neutral color can increase your home’s value by $2,000.

Cream

Paint your living room, kitchen, or bedroom cream to freshen it up. Many painters recommend using light cream colors on the interior walls to bring warmth, richness, and interest to the interior of a home. Need help choosing the right color palette for your home?

Our project started slow , but was a huge undertaking as it progressed. Diamond painting stepped up and matched our pace perfectly. We saw a lot of great employees with amazing talent. In the push time they all stepped up as a team. The follow up was great for touch up for the hand off. They are our painting company , they are now part of our Reinhard construction family.

I am very happy with my experience with Diamond Painting for my exterior project. The price was very reasonable compared with the other quotes I got. Michael scheduled me as soon as the weather permitted, and the crew (about 5 guys daily) was committed until the job was done. They showed up together every morning by 8am, and were very thorough, finding every last inch of dry rot needing replacement. The end product looks fabulous - I'm so glad I got this done!

The summary is, hire Diamond! We did and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Diamond repainted the exterior of our ~3000 sq ft. hillside house.

Michael and his crew are the complete package, both in terms of customer experience and execution (getting it done and doing a good job).

We hired them at the recommendation of our neighbor who had a good experience with Diamond repainting the exterior of their house.

Michael gave us a reasonable quote, in a timely manner. He turned up when promised and communicated well. He was happy to work with us to make the entire job a success; we asked for extra scaffolding and 2-3 weeks lead time with the scaffolding to allow our contractor to use it to replace 1/3 of our siding.

He was very reasonable about the cost of extra work - we even paid him a little bit more than he asked because it felt right. I think a reasonable contractor is important because once you start the work and you're locked into the contractor, you want to know that changes will be easy.

Michael's crew were respectful, responsive and a pleasure to have around too. They worked carefully.

Last, but not least, we're really happy with the quality of the work.

So, again, just hire Diamond. You won't regret it, and we want to make sure they stay in business so we can use them again. :-)

If you are looking for professional quality paint job, polite painters and awesome price, don’t look further. Diamond painting does a great job and with service. I hired them for wall painting and accent walls and Rob did a great job. After the job was done there was a small area that still was showing prior paint due to sample testing that we did and he patiently came over again and repainted the area. They are great professionals and I’m sure you will be happy with them

As a project manager, it's extremely important that I find tradesmen who are extremely skilled at what they do while also being great team players who are flexible, friendly and great communicators. Well, I found that at this company. Every single person I interacted with on their team from the owner -- Michael-- to the painters, were all extremely helpful, honest, and kind humans -- something I don't take for granted working in an tough industry. And anytime I reached out to the owner with a question, I always got a response quickly. This may sound trivial, but communication in the industry is infamously terrible, so to find someone who prioritizes being in sync and keeping in touch on the million little things is incredibly valuable.

We had a large project for them to complete on a short timeline. We needed the interior and exterior of a residential building completely re-painted, and it was no small task. They worked with me through thick and thin with kindness, humanity, and effort, and that speaks louder to me than almost anything else these days. They went out of their way to help me in multiple ways, and I am forever grateful and indebted to them.

I highly recommend Diamond Painting to anyone looking for quality work, honesty in talking through options, excellent communication, and friendly wholesome people. Thank you Michael, Freddy, Miguel, Zach, and the countless others who also contributed to the project!
