1. 8 DIY Projects that Can
Boost the Value of Your
Candlewood Lake Home

2. If you own a Candlewood Lake
home, you know first-hand the
pleasures of lakefront living. You
also know that there is a high
demand for lakefront homes as soon
as they go on the market.

4. Although your Candlewood Lake home can
be prime property, there are still some
things you could do to increase its value
and also to enhance the level of enjoyment
that you would have for your home. The
great news is you don’t have to spend too
much to do this.

5. Here are 8 DIY projects that can
boost the value of your
Candlewood Lake home for
sale:

6. 1. Improve your curb appeal.
Although buyers purchase lake homes for
their proximity to the water, improving your
landscaping can increase the appeal of your
home. Adding plants, shrubs, and trees to your
property boosts its curb appeal, which works
for suburban homes as well as lake homes.

7. 2. Add an outdoor living/ dining area.
An outdoor seating area makes a lake
home more appealing since it
maximizes the home’s location and
wonderful views. You don’t have to
spend a fortune to have an outdoor deck
or patio.

8. You can actually make a small concrete
patio yourself. You can create an instant
outdoor seating area with a garden
bench or pergola and add a brick or
stone path leading from your
Candlewood Lake home to the outdoor
seating area.

9. 3. Give your kitchen a facelift.
You can make your kitchen look modern and
updated with only a few dollars. A fresh coat
of paint on the cabinets and walls, new
cabinet handles, and new drawer pulls all
cost less than $100 but go a long way in
updating the look of your kitchen.

10. 4. Replace the faucets.
Another inexpensive way to update your
kitchen and bathroom is by replacing your
faucets with modern ones. Aside from
adding a sleeker look to your bath and
kitchen, modern faucets are less likely to
leak or drip.

11. 5. Replace your front door.
One of the best ways to add value to your
Candlewood Lake property is by replacing your
front door or even just the door handle. The
first seven seconds are when the homebuyers
make their mind up about a property for sale,
so make sure your entrance look great and
appealing.

12. 6. Update your lighting.
Replacing old lighting fixtures is an easy and
cheap way to add value and beauty to your
Candlewood Lake home. Make sure to replace
not just the interior lights, you can also add
solar lights on your pathway to the water and
spotlights to accent your landscaping to boost
your curb appeal.

13. 7. Think “energy-saving.”
Your home’s value can increase by $20 for every
dollar your home improvement can save on you
on yearly energy costs. You don’t need to spend
too much. Simple things like extra attic
insulation, weather stripping, and getting a
blanket for your water heater can increase your
property’s value.

14. 8. Replace your flooring.
Using the right flooring especially in your
Candlewood Lake home where sand and water
can take their toll on regular flooring can
double your return on investment when it
comes time to sell your home. Great choices for
lake home flooring is vinyl which is impervious
to water and is easy to clean.

15. You don’t have to spend much to increase the
value of your Candlewood Lake home. You
can do these simple DIY tips on a small
budget but they could go a long way in
boosting your home’s appeal to buyers. For
