Looking for a way to increase the value of your home? Improving the masonry work around your home is one of the most cost-effective ways to increase the curb appeal of your home. Beyond enhancing the aesthetics, investing in updated masonry can also provide you with a very nice return on investment if you ever plan to put your home up on the market. Read on to learn more about how our team at GWS Masonry can help your home look even more beautiful while increasing the property value at the same time.
Get Long-Lasting, Durable Materials
Today’s masonry materials are quite different from those that were commonly used in the past. Brick and stone were the primary materials used which were very porous and susceptible to moisture. As a result, this would result in spalling and crumbling materials over time. Recent advances in masonry have provided homeowners with brick and stone options that can perform better in almost every way compared to the older materials. Replacing old stone and brick with updated materials that can lock out moisture can quickly improve not only the look of your home but also its structural integrity.
Increase Your Purchase Price with Appealing Stonework and Brick
Upgrading your masonry work before you sell might seem like an unnecessary expense, but you’d be surprised at how many buyers are looking for a turnkey property where everything is either new or fully restored. They want to see refreshed kitchens, modern flooring, new windows, and updated brick and stonework throughout. If your home has outdated brick or crumbling and aged mortar, it might get passed up for one that has been recently refreshed. Our team at GWS Masonry can help fix that by updating the materials to ones that are most appealing to modern homebuyers today.
Truly Customize the Look of Your Home
Composite and hybrid options also come in different shapes and sizes and can be made to look like wood or other popular styles. Modern masonry materials also come in both creative and colourful options, allowing homeowners to really customize the look of their home. With all the different options available on the market today, you can easily complement or add a little contrast to the exterior of your home with a little help from a masonry expert.
Add Attractive Features to Enjoy
Are your outdoor spaces looking a little worn? Installing new masonry features to your home will quickly transform an otherwise drab looking patio or garden area into an attractive entertaining space. Adding beautiful interlocking stone pavers or a lavish stone fireplace can quickly increase both the functionality and curb appeal of your property. Let us help you turn your idea into reality and create the backyard you’ve been dreaming of.
Get More Protection Against Damage
Once the masonry around your home is starting to show signs of serious wear and tear, it’s time to contact a professional masonry contractor. Damaged brick and stone will not only impact the aesthetics of your home but also the structural integrity of your property. Simple repairs can help to protect against water damage and cracks that if left untreated, can quickly form into substantial and costly problems down the road. If the damage has become extensive where full restoration is needed, masonry experts can help to restore your home back to its original condition and appearance.
Make a Lasting Impression
Your front entrance is the first thing people notice when they look at your home. If you want to make a lasting impression on guests or potential homebuyers, you need an attractive and welcoming walkway. What better way to show off your beautiful home than with a stunning new stone interlock design? If your front entrance needs a serious refresh, contact us at GWS Masonry and we’ll show you a number of inspirational designs that will enhance your entranceway and outlast any asphalt design.
