Most often, those homes found in the different FSBO listings will not always appear the exact way you would want it to be. There might be a few small things that might need improvement like the arrangement of the interiors, the set up of the kitchen appliances as well as the lighting of the room. These are just a few of the things that most clients encounter when purchasing a FSBO home.
When it comes to the arrangement of the interiors, it does not need much effort. A few twist and turn and a few changes of the angle you will now have the set up that you are looking for. This goes the same with the set up of your kitchen appliances. In the contrary, when dealing with the lighting system, it can be a little bit more off the hook and harder to manage. Though you may want to fill the entire house with light bulbs, it wouldn't be possible and the main thing is that it will not look good as well. So here are a few tips for to brighten up your home.
• If you don't know how to pain that well, then hiring a painter will certainly make the job easier. But if you think you're ready to get down and dirty, then this job would not be a problem for you.
• First thing you must do is to make sure that you have covered the entire floor with used newspapers and tape them securely on the wall and most especially on the angle where the floor meets the wall.
• Follow through with covering the widows, cabinets and doors and still make sure that it remains secured.
• Remove all switch plate and outlet covers. Be sure to take out everything, you wouldn't want to stain these items with paint.
• Fill in the holes as well as cracks that might be found on your wall. Cracks and holes can be a great cause for paint to chip off and eventually ruin the entire paint job. So be sure to keenly check on the entire surface of the wall.
• When you have ascertained that all that needs to be filled is done, then you can now start off by painting a primary coating on the wall. The main purpose of a primer is to make an even and uniform surface for the main paint.
• When the primer has dried up, you can now start on painting the walls with the ideal color that you would want. Be sure to evenly coat the walls and go through every small detail. When done, allow the paint to dry up first before proceeding to the next task.
• Reapply the same color over the first coating. Therefore you will have two coatings of your chosen paint color.
• Allow the entire wall paint to dry first. When dry, slowly peel of the tape that secures all the coverings that you have attached previously and be sure not to the unpainted surface
• Return all the plates that you have removed on the exact location and be sure to tighten the screw.
• Do a run through on the entire paint job that you have done and be sure to check on it well. This is the most ideal time for you to redo something or might be improve on something.
