The guys I knew stockpiling money 5-7-years ago missed a marked that would have doubled their wealth...and this is a super specific location-based question...real estate prices rose in many MSA during the last recession (2009)...it's not that easy to predict how a market will react.

Don't forget to throw in just freshening up the color scheme as something you are doing (paint gives you a lot of bang for your buck) as well as replacing the flooring if it isn't new(removing rugs and putting in LVP is a big win). 

I feel it would be good to get in writing only one person speaks for all with any changes or color choice etc.   

Think masking and color choices don't matter?

My wife, a designer who charges for design work from clients, gives her friends floor plan, color, tile advice, if they ask.

Also, how do you guys handle touchups for areas where you don't have the original paint color for?

Gross domestic product, the official scorecard for our economy, rose at a 6.4% annual pace in the first quarter, the Commerce Department reports.

And I want them to pay for the change of the whole kitchen counter top so that all of it will match the same color.

So, that's the way I look at the current situation with rose colored glasses and making lemonade out of lemons.
