Do you have a North Vancouver home improvement project we can help with?
First Impressions That Sell
Are you considering the sale of your North Vancouver home in the next two years? If so, let Curb Appeal assist you with the preparation of your property for eventual listing so it has the best opportunity to return you the highest sale price possible.
Making improvements to properties in neighbourhoods of the North Shore require a specialized knowledge of the area as well as knowledge of the best practices for building with consideration for the unique weather conditions that can be expected. This will help to inform which projects are undertaken and what materials are used.
A project that might be worthwhile on a sun-drenched property in the Delbrook area might not be advisable on a heavily shaded Lynn Valley street. Properties in the Deep Cove and Dollarton areas receive more of their sun from the southeast, while those in Canyon Heights and Upper Lonsdale receive more southwest sunlight. A home in Central or Lower Lonsdale has a different potential usage profile than does a home in Blueridge or Grousewoods. It’s no secret that North Vancouver receives a lot of rainfall, but much more rain tends to fall in areas around Lynn Creek and Seymour River.
These complexities are why hiring a specialty contracting company like Curb Appeal Property Experts is essential, especially when the motivation for your project is the intended future sale of your home and maximizing your property’s value.
North Vancouver Home Improvement Experts
When developing a plan of action for your property, Curb Appeal will take into consideration some of the key motivations of property buyers: natural sunlight, outdoor living spaces, new flooring, climate control, functional kitchen layouts and storage solutions, among others.
Curb Appeal Property Experts routinely recommends minor kitchen remodeling projects, minor bathroom remodeling projects, landscaping and upgrades to a property’s exterior. We also suggest clients make investments into their property’s interior by repainting, reflooring and replacing older plumbing and electrical fixtures.
But it’s important to note that these suggestions and improvements will have positive rates of return at sale when undertaken on some properties. For example, in single family home neighbourhoods like Upper Lynn Valley, Norgate or Pemberton Heights. But when attempting the same improvements on a Central Lonsdale single family home, the same rate of return might not be achievable. In this area, the property buyer is more likely to be an investor with a long-term vision for the property’s eventual redevelopment.
In all cases, your representative from Curb Appeal will take into consideration the property’s neighbourhood, orientation, design, current condition, age and how those factors impact the profiles of the home’s prospective purchasers. Armed with this perspective, we will build a targeted plan of action to boost your home’s attractiveness to those purchaser profiles and ensure you obtain the highest selling value possible.
Whether your home is a Rancher in Westlynn, a West Coast Post & Beam in Princess Park, a Vancouver Special along the Lonsdale corridor or a Split-Level in Forest Hills, the plan for your property’s value maximization should be carefully built with the end user in mind.
From the Capilano River to Indian Arm, Curb Appeal Property Experts can advise you about whether your driveway needs resurfacing prior to listing, whether your fence can be repaired or needs replacement and whether that cedar hedge should be pruned or removed entirely. From Dollarton to Lions Gate Village we can give counsel on your decision to turn that back patio into an outdoor living space or the conundrum you face with your partially renovated kitchen in Edgemont Village.
We are experts in what differentiates home buyers in Grand Boulevard from those in Mosquito Creek and the property features people are looking for in Lower Lonsdale compared to Parkgate.
