Planning and Cost

Painting Before You Sell: What Pays Off

Key takeaways

  • Neutral colors appeal to the most buyers
  • Prioritize walls, trim and the front door
  • Repairs matter as much as paint
  • Plan ahead for listing photos

Fresh paint helps a home look clean, bright and cared for. That feeling carries into photos and showings.

What to paint

  • Bold or dark walls in the main rooms
  • Scuffed trim, doors and baseboards
  • The front door and exterior touch-ups
  • Stained ceilings and cracked corners

What to skip

Spaces that already look clean and neutral can be left alone. We help prioritize so the budget goes where it shows most.
