transform any space inside your new house. So what kind of flooring should you get?
The Roof Over Your Head The old saying goes, “As long as you have a roof over your head, clothes on your back, food on the table, and good friends and family, you have all you need to live a happy life.” But if the roof over your new home is leaky, old, or missing a few shingles, these should be repaired. You’re wise to inspect the pool or speak with the regular pool service provider to learn of potential issues prior to selling the home. Attractive pools add value and pools in disrepair are negative features for purchasers. Wood floors are by far the most desirable among today’s buyers. But if you can’t afford wood floors, there are many options for wood-look tiles, vinyls and laminates — some even waterproof. Pool Concerns If your home has a pool, consider the following: • Is your pool clean? If it’s an above-ground pool, are the • parts rusting and liner showing signs of wear and tear? If • it’s an in-ground pool, are the cement, tile and grout • spotless? • Are there any broken parts or leaks? Does it have broken • tiles or cracked cement? • Is it fenced? There may be fines or zoning code issues if • you don’t have a proper fence installed. • Is it low on water?
