Best Financial Move to Change Home Color
I have a faded pale yellow vinyl Cape Cod I am Live & Flipping.
I did some reframing of outside walls. I will need to replace vinyl in several locations, but I would personally prefer a white home and think resale would be better if the home was white.
What is my best return on the following options?
Any experience with these options & the cost variation?
Is it worth the change?
1. DIY Paint the old yellow vinyl —> white myself
2. Hire a painter to paint old yellow vinyl —> white
3. DIY Revinyl the entire home white.
2. Match yellow vinyl & pull from back of house so all front is yellow vinyl & just leave light yellow.
Other details:
This is an over-budget move.
The home is 2400 sq ft.
This area can go for $200 - $250 sq ft.
There is also a separate garage that matches.
