If you want to get the highest price for your house when it’s time to sell, then you need a professional to assess your property’s condition. Buyers scrutinize your house and property from top to bottom. One question that sellers often ask is, “Should I paint?” And, as you can imagine, the answer is specific to each situation. There is one painting job that you should book right away, however.

“Yes, paint your ceiling!” In your everyday routine at your house, you most likely avoid looking up at your ceiling. If you’re like most people, you have a busy, hectic life and don’t spend a lot of time gazing up at your ceiling. Odds are that at one time or another, in one room or another, your ceiling fell victim to a water leak. Whether it’s an overflowing bathtub or a roof leak, many houses have been repaired but these problem areas have not been repainted .

While it may be a minor blemish on your ceiling it is magnified in the eyes of the buyer who is already planning on making minor or major changes to your house. So, go ahead and book your painter or get the supplies to do it yourself.
