Ride the Magic Carpet of Increased Home Value!
Your carpet. Maybe it's full of dirt tracked in by the kids and pets. Maybe you're exasperated because it's hard to maintain. Don't despair! You just need to realize that your carpet is… FULL OF MONEY!
No, I'm not kidding; it really is! And here's the simple "magical" proof - when you clean your carpet or replace an old one, you can increase the value of your home by as much as 10%! How can that be? Well, you know the old saying, "You only get one chance to make a good impression?" That's doubly true when buyers come to look at your home!
When they see a dirty or worn carpet, they think, "Oh, wow, there's an expense I don't need. What else is wrong with this place?" Ouch!With one 10-second glance, your home's value has fallen off a cliff! It's not fair, is it? But, the good news is that you can "magically" get things headed in the opposite direction of increased value by taking one of two simple steps!
Clean the Carpet!
Okay, you have two choices here. You can shampoo/steam clean/dry clean that magic carpet of yours by yourself. There are all kinds of rental systems available to you. The dry system (Oreck, for example) dries almost immediately and kills almost all mold and bacteria. These methods are cheap because you supply all the labor.
The second choice is to hire a professional carpet cleaning service (Stanley Steemer, etc.). If your carpet has a lot of bad stains, we recommend you use one of these professionals. They're experts at it, and their equipment is much more high powered than anything you can rent. It'll be more expensive, but the results will be worth it! Like magic, your carpet will look like new and have a great impact on visitors!
Replace the Carpet!
I know, I know - your first reaction is, "Wow, that's going to be expensive!" Yes, but this initial outlay has the potential to make you money in the long run. How can that be?
Well, let's assume you want to sell your home in the future. A $4,000 investment in new carpet can make a $10,000 difference in the sale price! In other words, by investing $4,000 in a new carpet, you may end up adding $6,000 to the value of your home! Now that's some financial magic that makes you look at your carpet in a whole new way, isn't it?!
So, what are you waiting for? Clean or replace that carpet right now and let your house soar upward with increased value!
P.S. If you've never called anyone on the carpet, now's the time to do so!
