A Great Facade Increases Sale Price

When it comes to home renovations and home improvement, not all money you spend will return the same value. Like a swimming pool may seem like a feature to one buyer or a deal breaker for another.

Here's what some experts had to say on which home improvements add value as reported in the Sydney Morning Herald recently:

Agents' opinion on added value: $40,000-$100,000.
The facade is often the first thing buyers see - either in advertising or in a drive-by. That's why improvements to it are among the biggest value-adds for your house.

The NSW manager of Archicentre, Angus Kell, says an external makeover might include decluttering and maintenance such as cleaning the roof, tidying the front garden and painting, can cost from $2000-$15,000, depending on the work involved.

"People gain confidence if a property looks well maintained," says a principal of the eastern suburbs agents GoodyerDonnelley, Debbie Donnelley.  Renovations worth your while.

When the makeover also means less maintenance going forward for new buyers, that makes for good kerb appeal and good value. Some renovations will mean a bigger sale price on your home if you sell,  while others will just cost you. If you're planning to stay in the home and you've bought well then a renovation and updating your home can bring rewards in how happy you are in the home and making the most of your space and how your home feels.

It's been said the best house to buy is the worst house in the street. When you buy that worst house in the street and suddenly it looks like a great house, then you have really turned your money into a great investment.

Interior Walls In Sandstone Veneer

When you're thinking of an update your home with house remodeling, home improvements or your a makeover for a commercial space, sandstone can be a great way to refinish your walls, add decorative flair and character to a room.  In this example the sandstone carries the look through from one room to the next and provides a hard wearing surface that is great looking and also has great acoustic insulation. This is one wall you won't need to paint again!

Sandstone veneer wall facings can give you additional soundproofing between walls that might be shared or for a living room next to a bedroom. Or even to fit out that garage to create extra living space for a games room or bar. Whatever your needs, there is a stone product that can give you a new look that is a little different and can change the ambiance of your space. Because it is light weight compared to full sandstone blocks it takes up little space, and the reconstituted stone can be colour matched to fit your decor or continue the colour scheme from outside.

This fabulous stairwell shows how versatile the sandstone veneer cladding can be in providing a feature that sets your home apart.

Stone Wall Cladding Facts

Reconstituted stone comes in a great range of colours

Sandstone wall cladding weighs only a fraction of the weight of natural stone for the same coverage. 

This eliminates the need for structural reinforcing such as special footings or foundations, and allows the stone to be installed with ease on any stable wall surface. Great if you want to renovate for a change in visual appeal to cover concrete, brick, weatherboard, fibro, asbestos, or drywall. 

The lighter weight also makes it easier and less costly to transport. For you that means it can also be used where heavy materials are not appropriate.

Stone veneer cladding is easier to install than natural stone and requires fewer specialised masonry tools, reducing the cost of labour and putting even ambitious projects within the reach of the average weekend handyman. 

Consider the lower cost of the stone itself, and you realise the incredible savings for new-home builders and existing-home renovators. 

Reconstituted stone is available in a wide range of colours, styles, and textures, so you can match the look of nature's work like Ledgestone, Limestone, Stacked Stone or Rubble Stone, or build with something totally new. 

As well as being economical, stone cladding is... 

•Durable and maintenance-free 

•Pre-sealed

•Scratch resistant
