Easy Upgrades (Part 2): Brighten Your Wake Forest Rental Property with New Interior Door and Light Fixtures

New Light Fixtures to Brighten Your Wake Forest Rental PropertyNew interior doors and light fixtures are just some easy but impactful upgrades that can change the visual attractiveness of a rental home in Wake Forest. Yet, the benefits of changing old doors and light fixtures go beyond that.

While a typically overlooked feature of the majority of Wake Forest rental homes, old or damaged interior doors can significantly drag down the observed value of a property. Prospective residents may interpret outdated doors, particularly those that are damaged or not working properly, to be a sign of owner neglect; and since interior doors are used a lot, they show this neglect to the resident very clearly. Houses have a tendency to settle over time, which can cause doorframes to shift. When that happens, the interior doors may not shut all the way or latch properly, resulting in reduced security and a lack of privacy for the occupants. In that case, new interior doors are not only a cosmetic enhancement but a structural one too.

Furthermore, outdated light fixtures can decrease the appeal of a rental home. May it be exterior lights that are damaged or dirty or interior lights that are nonfunctional, substandard, or just plain ugly, light fixtures are little details that matter. Energy efficiency and safety are two more matters that can be addressed by new light fixtures. New energy-efficient lighting can cut down energy costs and discourage thieves or vandals from targeting your rentals too. New interior lighting could add an element of functional beauty to every room and brighten up dark interiors. With tons of benefits, putting new light fixtures on your to-do list just make sense.

The great thing is that interior doors and light fixtures are fairly inexpensive to change. They can brighten up a rental home right away with a few new touches. Even inexpensive doors can give a home a fresh, clean appearance. There are a lot of attractive and sturdy styles to pick from, and many come pre-finished for easy installation. Light fixtures don’t need to cost a lot to be effective too. New fixtures can brighten up dark corners, add warmth to interior spaces, and give aesthetic appeal. Current residents will value your attention to detail and concern for their comfort and safety, while prospective residents will see the new touches and be influenced by your property’s great features. When residents are satisfied with the way the home feels and looks, they are more likely to take great care of the property.
