Easy Ways to Boost Your Home’s Value

Whether or not you’re looking to sell your home, the overall value of your property is an important part of maintaining it. However, it can be difficult to know what renovations will do the most for your home’s value. Fortunately, there’s a series of easy ways to boost your home’s value without using up all your free time or breaking the bank.

Update Your Appliances

Replacing your outdated appliances with modern models is a great way to raise the value of your home and make it more energy efficient. Newer kitchen appliances are sought after for their energy-conserving features and sleek design. If you don’t want to spend the extra cash for these replacements, you could always update smaller items that traditionally get rusted and outdated, such as your baseboard heaters with a stylish new cover.

Do Some Landscaping

Curb appeal is everything when it comes to a property’s overall value. As such, taking proper care of your lawn and garden is a wonderful way to increase its desirability. However, keeping your yard clean isn’t enough—you also need to design it in a way that’s pleasing to the eye. This means planting a variety of beautiful, colorful flowers and keeping your hedges trimmed and looking fresh.

Perform Minor Home Repairs

From leaky faucets in the kitchen to loose doorknobs, every home has several small things that may need fixed. Though they may not seem like much on their own, these side projects can add up and make for a larger renovation if you aren’t careful. As such, periodically going through the home and repairing any of these minor problems is a great way to keep your property value up.

Install New Hardware

Replacing your cabinet hardware can be surprisingly affordable and simple to do in a limited amount of time. In fact, removing old cabinet knobs and handles just takes a screwdriver and a few minutes. Changing out this hardware can make a room look surprisingly different by adding a modern touch that increases appeal in an hour or less. Though renovating your home can be a daunting process, we at EZ Snap™ Covers seek to make one part of it a bit easier. In supplying homeowners like you with cost-effective and decorative baseboard heater covers, we can help you upgrade these older-looking appliances for a modern home. This, in addition to your other efforts, can significantly affect your home’s market appeal, overall value and ability to sell your home quickly.

Wall Widget

EZ Snap™ Wall Widgets are used when your old or existing wall back plate has been removed or if you have to hang your new cover 1 inch or higher to bring them up to a height that will fit our installation guidelines. Just measure your overall desired height, subtract 1", drill a hole, preferably in a stud and attach it to the wall with the included screw.

Floor Fidgets

EZ Snap™ Floor Fidgets easily raise your new covers ¾ inch to compensate for any ¾ inch floor (wood, tile, or other) that has been installed any time since your baseboard heater was originally installed. May be used for any reason when the overall height has been shortened and the total height is less than 7-½ inches for standard height or 9-½ inches for the TALL height EZ Snap™ BaseBoard Covers. Just use the self-tapping screws to secure them to the top of your existing wallplate.

Wall Contraptions

EZ Snap™ Wall Contraptions are used when your wall back plate has been completely removed. EZ Snap™ Wall Contraptions receives your EZ Snap™ BaseBoard Cover and keeps your aluminum fin tube from sagging. These completely replace your wall back plate. To install, slide up from the bottom and make sure the top is at your desired height. Screw to the wall, then bend the front finger up to hold the fin tube in place.
