If you are selling your home in the near future, why not increase the home resale value with a fireplace makeover? Surveys among real estate agents consistently show that a fireplace is one of the top five amenities buyers consider a positive feature. You can virtually count on an investment in your fireplace being covered and more in the way of increased home value.
Reasons you may need a Fireplace Makeover
Dirty
A fireplace is usually one of the most visually interesting architectural features in a home. Over time, however, residue from smoke can create stubborn, hard-to-remove black stains. All your fireplace may need is a thorough cleaning.
Outdated
Perhaps your fireplace is old and too outdated to make a great impression for potential buyers. An in-depth aesthetic makeover may be the perfect solution.
Inefficient
Have your electricity bills been getting higher and higher every winter? If so, you may have realized that your fireplace doesn’t contribute enough to warm your home. In this case, the type of fireplace makeover you need is one that will greatly improve efficiency.
A Makeover to Give your Fireplace a Whole New Look
It may be a lot more cost-effective than you realize to upgrade the appearance of your fireplace. With the help of experts, you can enjoy your favorite fireplace design in your own home.
Fireplace Surround
Whether you want rock, granite, tile, wood, or another material on your fireplace face, it can be done. The options for adding a totally new surround on your fireplace are practically limitless.
Mantel
You may be fine with the fireplace surround in general but you are bored with your mantel. There are many available sizes, shapes, textures, and colors, if you want to upgrade your fireplace with a new mantel.
Glass Doors
Glass doors are another type of makeover for a fireplace, and they provide a number of benefits. First, some of the heat is preserved to warm your home rather than going up the chimney. There are many glass doors to choose from, and you can choose a style that makes a tremendous design impact. Various manufacturers have come up with entirely new styles that provide a fireplace with an instant modern upgrade. Combining new glass doors with a new mantel could result in the fireplace makeover that makes your home in-demand among potential buyers.
A Makeover to Increase Efficiency
It is now widely recognized that traditional older fireplaces are terribly inefficient. Usually, more than 90% of the heat from an open fireplace goes up the chimney. If you have a fireplace insert installed, however, the efficiency rating goes to about 75% which is a wonderful improvement. By having a custom fireplace insert installed, you can transform your fireplace into a viable heat source during winter. It’s possible to cut the cost of winter utilities, with a fireplace insert upgrade.
