Q: Is staging a home worth it?

• <div><p>In most cases, staging a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/home-staging-worth-it.htm">home is expensive but worth every penny.</a> According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), 81% of agents representing buyers stated that staging made a positive impact on the buyer&rsquo;s perception of the house and made it easier to visualize it as a home. The value of your home&mdash;which is to say the amount buyers are willing to spend&mdash;is based on perception alone and not the inherent value of the land or structure. Therefore, improving the appeal of your home through staging is likely to make your home more enticing during a home sale.</p></div>

Q: How much does a fireplace add to home value?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.redfin.com/blog/adding-a-fireplace-can-increase-home-value/">Redfin</a> reported in 2021 that homes with fireplaces were listed on the market for around 13% more than the national median sale price, but this doesn&rsquo;t mean that they actually sold for that much. While homebuyer demand reigns supreme, the actual ROI on a fireplace depends on various factors, including size, type, and material.</p></div>

Q: How do I stage my home myself?

• <div><p>To stage your home yourself, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cleaning-and-home-staging-sell-your-house.htm">clean your home thoroughly to sell</a>, leaving it gleaming like a five-star hotel. Less is best&mdash;always clear away clutter and anything personal so buyers can focus on the beauty of the rooms. Prospective buyers will check the closets, so investing in a storage space may be necessary.</p><p>Move furniture around, mix fabrics and decor, and de-cramp the room by removing any unnecessary furniture. A fresh coat of paint always helps, as do natural features like plants.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a home stager and an interior designer?

• <div><p>The main difference between a home stager and an interior designer is that the former creates temporary, generally appealing spaces, while the latter creates personalized design choices for your permanent home. A home stager seeks to depersonalize your home while also showing off the best features of the home to potential buyers. An interior designer works with you to infuse your personal style into the decor in your home. You&rsquo;ll typically only hire a local home stager when selling your home.</p></div>

Q: Does removing a fireplace decrease home value?

• <div><p>Every market is different, but the general consensus is that since a fireplace is a sought-after item in many homes, the removal of such a feature can negatively impact the value of your home. Therefore, if you plan on selling your house soon, don&rsquo;t remove it. If you plan on living in your home for a long time, the removal of a fireplace can decrease your bills over time, as heat and air conditioning can both leak through a wood-burning fireplace&rsquo;s chimney or the exhaust systems of a gas insert. </p></div>

I hired Joshua to paint two bedrooms and our living room in Brunswick. Joshua was very professional and prompt. He was very clean and his work was good quality. I would highly recommend local paint company and will be in touch for more future projects in our home
