Home Repairs to Make Before Selling in Orange County

Home Repairs Before Selling in Orange County

Not every project returns $1 for $1. Focus on buyer first impressions and inspection tripwires.

High-ROI fixes

- Interior paint — neutral tones
- Curb appeal — front door, mulch, clean driveway
- Leaky faucets and running toilets
- Broken fixtures — door handles, cabinet hinges
- HVAC service — document if serviced

Often worth it

- Roof tune-up if minor leaks flagged
- Window screens and weatherstripping
- Garage floor clean/epoxy in luxury segments

Usually skip big spend

- Full kitchen remodel unless severely dated
- Pool resurfacing unless failing inspection
- Foundation work — disclose and price accordingly unless required

Boost value smarter
