sell or rent any house. There’s something at
tractive about fresh paint, just as there is about a
new suit of clothes or a brand new car. The in
creased selling price, also, yields a profit on the
painting job.
Most householders keep their homes painted be
cause they take pride in their appearance, and a
well-painted house will always sell more readily.
