Projects that Appeal to the Modern Home Buyer

Many homes in the Buffalo area were built before 1939. Older homes often have many “issues” that need maintenance over the years– everything from replacing the roof every 20 years to ensuring that there are enough outlets to handle all the electronic gadgets and appliances that have come along and suck up large amounts of power.

Ivy Lea Construction works on home improvement projects which help maintain and/or increase the value of Western New York homes. Have you considered “re-investing” in your home lately?

In order to be relevant for today’s home buyers, a house in Western New York typically needs a lot of work. For instance, people today expect large closets, open floor plans, and central air. If you have an older home with tiny closets, lots of cramped rooms/narrow halls, and no AC, you might have a hard time finding a buyer.

Ivy Lea Construction is great at fixing up older homes to bring them up to today’s standards for living spaces. It’s not uncommon for homeowners to ask Ivy Lea to build an add-on to a house to give it more room. Kitchen and bathroom remodeling is also in-demand. The smaller, outdated rooms of yesteryear need improving in order to meet the needs of people living in the 21st Century.

There are several home improvement projects you can do to increase the value of your home. Consider replacing older windows with newer, more energy-efficient ones which will affect the heating/cooling bills in a good way. Have your walls painted with a fresh coat of paint. Install new rugs or flooring. Anything you can do to make a home look nicer, newer and more open will help increase its value on the market.

When you need a proven, reliable contractor to do home improvement projects at your Western New York home, don’t hesitate to get an estimate from Ivy Lea Construction.
