Often when people are out looking at homes, they are looking for things that need to be repaired. While they may not mind repainting or patching some drywall, old windows and doors can be a huge turnoff. They can also give the impression that you haven’t been maintaining your home. Buyers often believe that what they can’t see is in worse condition than what they can see.
Our Stripping and Refinishing division can save homeowners time and money in improving their windows, doors and shutters into something they can be proud of.
When stripping and refinishing isn’t possible homeowners should consider replacing the pieces outright. Older houses will benefit from new windows, doors, and shutters and homeowners will see the difference. Besides being more attractive and better sealed, new technologies and features will allow them to open with ease and be more energy efficient.
Using woods like Accoya allows windows, doors and shutters to last longer, be more weather resistant, and be more impervious to rot and decay. Not only that but new technologies and products allow for a more stable surface (so less swelling and shrinkage) which means coatings adhere better. Allowing your pieces to stay un-jammed and finishes & paint to last longer.
The exterior of your house can make quite an impact on the overall look of your house and we all know the saying about first impressions. Buyers will notice when you’ve invested and taken care of your home. So bring your home out of the stone age and make that stunning first impression for your home
