DIY Home Improvement – WOOD MAINTENANCE TIPS

by

What WOOD you do? | HOUSE HACKS

by Charlotte Realtor- Danielle Edwards

As an experienced Charlotte real estate agent, I have seen horror stories when it comes to DIY projects that have repercussions when you go to sell your home. I thought I would highlight these tips here.

 

 

 

  • If I am replacing an old deck, should I get it permitted?

YES!  I know it costs more money to get your wood deck permitted.  This is ONE improvement I would not skip the permit.  I have seen a homeowner who “did it themselves” and was so proud they took down the old deck and replaced it with what was there.  The only problem was that it wasn’t done to the current code and was still stuck in 1986.  Needless to say, that was a real pain to go back and correct.  This also happens while you are trying to move and buy another home.  Talk about stress!  So, do yourself a favor— GET THE PERMIT.

 

  • If I am putting in a new deck, but I am REALLY handy and know a guy who can tell me the code, do I need to get it permitted?

YES! See #1.

 

  •  Should I paint my exterior wood trim ever 3 years?

YES!  This is general maintenance and will save you thousands is a more costly repair if all your wood starts to rot.

 

  • Do my gutters protect my wood?

YES!   When gutters are clogged, then water splashes in places it shouldn’t.  Most of the time, it is happening in areas you can’t see from the ground.   However, that home inspector will certainly find it when you go to sell.  There are a few ways around this.

1. Clean your gutters 1-2x a year as needed.  You can hire someone, or if your home isn’t too tall, a ladder and a leaf blower work.  (not responsible for any injuries)

2. Install lead guard gutters-  do the math.  Knowing you will be in your home for 7+ years or more will pay for itself and the peace of mind.

3. Trim/remove trees that are over your roof or near your roof.   Don’t get me wrong, I love trees.  But, BOY, do they cost money when things go back?  For those of you new to Charlotte, we have clay soil.  When we get a lot of these older trees, do go BOOM.  You can choose upfront the risk you want to take on it hitting your car or your house.   Also, critters get in your home when limbs are over your roofline.  One of my biggest PET PEEVES is tree care.

    1. Trim away from home
    2. Remove dead trees
    3. If roots are affecting driving than eventually it will get into your pipes… $$

 

 

  •  What lies beneath- Crawl Space

Water and wood are NOT friends.  See number #4; if the gutters are not working as they should, then water is getting into your crawl space.  Affecting beams and other good things holding up your precious home.  Ask your HVAC guy or hire a crawl space company to check it out every few years.  This will cost you $5,000-$10,000 if you forget about under your home and find out issues once under contract.

Many crawl space issues have to do with the grading of your property, too!  Remember— water away from your home.  French drains and sump pumps are your best friends if you have a lot that needs it.

 

  • Show me the money- Trex Deck

Yes, I know this is expensive.  However, if you will be in your home 7+ years, it will save you repainting, replacing, or worrying about your deck ever again!  Just make sure it is done with a permit,  see #2.

LEARN ABOUT MECKLENBURG TAXES

by

TAXES YOU NEED TO KEEP IN MIND

Knowing anything is power, I wanted to provide you with this information on the Mecklenburg taxes. I wanted to communicate this to my Realtor partners because that is what my management team sent me.

Since Mecklenburg County is mandated to update the assessed values of all properties every four years, they just published their new tax rates. To check the new tax rate for any purchase transactions in Mecklenburg County, you must pull up the tax bill using the link below.

New tax rates here 2023—2024-Tax-Rate-Chart.pdf (widen.net)

Below is a screenshot of where this can be found.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You then need to figure out which municipality it’s in.  For example, the screen shot below is in Charlotte so the new tax rate is .7335.  The new assessed value for this property is $1,093,500 so to calculate the taxes, you take $1,093,500, multiply by .007335 to get the annual amount, and then divide by 12 to get the monthly amount that you should put into PCL.  So the monthly taxes for this property will be $668.40.  You should NOT be looking at the prior year’s tax bill to obtain the property taxes since the new assessed values and tax rates are now out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let me know if you have any questions or want to discuss specific situations.

South Charlotte Neighborhoods

by

 SOUTH CHARLOTTE NEIGHBORHOODS

Bordering South Carolina, the South Charlotte area is a bustling suburb for those wanting “newer” homes, mostly built after 1990, top-ranked schools, and plenty of Targets and shopping centers nearby.   With the new Ballantyne area booming with Go Ballantyne and live music at the AMP, this once snubbed area of “Ballantyne” which seemed so far away, is now feeling a lot closer to “things” for the active person.  South Charlotte has many pockets which can be confusing to someone new to our area.

Blakeney, South Charlotte, Waverly, Ballantyne

These areas are bordered by the town of Matthews and Pineville, which will feel just a little more “small” town with cute historic downtowns to explore.

South Charlotte Trails

Four Mile Greenway and shopping

Let’s get back to South Charlotte!  Within this area, you will find the 4-mile creek greenway.  A true destination for someone seeking a beautiful nature trail in the middle of the “suburb.”  You can visit Trader Joe’s, Starbucks, and other small businesses before or after your walk!  Bordering this special gem is a community called TOUCHSTONE VILLAGE; tucked behind Touchstone Village is a 54-home community called Wilshire.  These homes were built in the early 1990s and developed by Crosland.  The Touchstone Village homes will have low ceilings, smaller rooms, and popcorn ceilings–however, most have stunning .50-acre lots!

 

 

 

 

 

Living in south charlotte

Four Mile Greenway

Either way, the bonus of living near here is the quick access to the greenway, 485, 51, South Park, and Ballantyne.  It is a true gem for someone who doesn’t want to be FAR OUT from Uptown Charlotte and keep their social calendar open to options to get to so many places in “15 minutes easily.”

Example of recent home for sale

  • $578,800, Sold $589,000

  • 2748 SQFT

  • 4 Bedroom, 2 full bath, half

  • Screened Porch

  • Deck (home did back up to Bevington road)

This explores the charm of a two-story house in Charlotte, certainly highlighting its architectural beauty, functional advantages, and the sense of community it fosters.

WILSHIRE TOUCHSTONE DETAILS

Tucked away in TOUCHSTONE VILLAGE, it is certainly an Excellent South Charlotte home with a backdoor entrance to the 4-mile creek greenway! Beautiful open floor plan, also with plenty of entertainment space and lots of flexibility on the main level. Statement staircase with iron balusters and crown molding will indeed impress! You will particularly gravitate outdoors to your screened porch, which feels like you are in a tree house. Also, it has a great grilling area and your own private stone pathway down to access the greenway, Starbucks, or Trader Joe’s.

 

This true 4-bedroom home gives you an explicitly oversized Primary bedroom, oversized closet, and spacious, elegant bathroom. The Primary bath has been updated with a glass-enclosed shower, high-end cabinetry, and at last, Granite countertops. Additionally, The guest bath has dual sinks, tile, and granite!

One of the most striking features of Wilshire is its picturesque streets lined with magnificent trees, creating a serene atmosphere that provides an escape from the urban hustle. The neighborhood’s well-planned layout showcases a harmonious mix of historic homes and contemporary residences, showcasing the seamless coexistence of the past and the present. Wilshire is a testament to preserving the city’s architectural heritage, with many homes reflecting the classic southern charm that has endured through the years.

Wilshire Location and access to everything Charlotte

For those seeking entertainment and cultural enrichment, Wilshire doesn’t disappoint. Its proximity to downtown Charlotte allows easy access to an array of restaurants, theaters, art galleries, and shopping centers. However, the neighborhood itself has a distinct charm, with its unique boutiques and locally-owned businesses contributing to a thriving local economy.

Wilshire embodies the perfect balance between suburban tranquility and urban convenience.

As the city of Charlotte continues to grow, Wilshire has managed to retain its identity and resist the overwhelming waves of gentrification. This speaks to the determination and dedication of its residents, who have worked tirelessly to preserve their neighborhood’s character while embracing positive change.

Small Communities in bustling Metropolis

In conclusion, Wilshire, Charlotte, is a testament to the allure of small communities within a bustling metropolis. Its rich history, architectural beauty, and close-knit community make it a place like no other. As the city continues to evolve, Wilshire remains a beacon of hope—a place where the past and present intermingle gracefully and where the warmth of community envelops all who are fortunate enough to call it home.
