We’ve all seen the tv shows – couples sparring over listing their home and selling it or loving the place and staying. Here at DCM Building, we won’t tell you what to do…but we will make sure your home is in tip top shape, regardless of what choices you make!
Give Your Home a Little Love
Whether it’s repairs to sell your home or maintenance to stay, both are equally important, and DCM Building has the team to ensure your property is functioning at its best. Afterall, a well-maintained home doesn’t just enhance property value; it’ll enrich the lives of the occupants.
Just like a garden, even a low-maintenance home requires regular attention, and we understand the pain of watching a home slowly deteriorate. Instead, stay ahead of the game. Fix the leaking pipe. Screw down the loose decking timber. Replace the damaged weatherboard.
With the team to do the lot, no maintenance or repair job is too big or too small for DCM Building and we’re here for you. Reach out now and the dividends will pay off, whether it’s a perfectly presented property for sale, or a better home for life. As DCM Building director, Iain McPhail, says, ‘We’re here to help you through the process.’
Refresh with a Reno
We believe a refresh, a remodel or even a full reno increases the value of your home in ways that go beyond finances. A well-functioning home that meets the needs of you and your family is a good place to live. However, there’s also data proving that even a minor remodel can improve sales values and days on the market.
If you’re considering a reno to sell your house, the first rooms to consider are the kitchen and the bathroom. Just remember, the idea is to impress without over-capitalising. Time spent detailing simplified and sensible design will be time well-spent.
If you’ve got the space, reconfiguring the existing floorplan could be a game changer. An attic bedroom? Done. A study nook? Done. Just remember, if your purpose is to sell the property, ensure the money spent will maximise equity.
At a fraction of the cost, decks as ‘outdoor rooms’ are a favourite among kiwis, the perfect spot for entertaining and relaxing. Installing a pergola amplifies the possibilities, truly connecting the interior of the home with the exterior.
Experts in makeovers, we love a good challenge, whether it’s a reno for you to love or a zhoozh up to appeal to prospective buyers.
Roof on Standby?
Even with the best maintenance plan in place, your roof has a lifespan, and it could be on standby for replacement. Get ahead of the game and replace it before deterioration issues arise and you’ve got an even bigger (and more expensive) job on your hands.
As a rule of thumb, if your steel roof dates back to the 1970s, it’s due for replacement. Likewise, if you have a 1950s concrete tile roof, rigor mortis could be setting in!
