Best Financial Move to Change Home Color

[Audrey Duncan]

I have a faded pale yellow vinyl Cape Cod I am Live & Flipping.

I did some reframing of outside walls. I will need to replace vinyl in several locations, but I would personally prefer a white home and think resale would be better if the home was white.

What is my best return on the following options?

Any experience with these options & the cost variation?

Is it worth the change?

1. DIY Paint the old yellow vinyl —> white myself

2. Hire a painter to paint old yellow vinyl —> white

3. DIY Revinyl the entire home white.

2. Match yellow vinyl & pull from back of house so all front is yellow vinyl & just leave light yellow.

Other details:

This is an over-budget move.

The home is 2400 sq ft.

This area can go for $200 - $250 sq ft.

There is also a separate garage that matches.
