Trying to prioritize home improvement projects for my condo. Is exposed brick really a draw/differentiator? I kind of hate the way it looks (exposed brick on one wall in interior staircase with no windows/natural light). Should I cover it up, or will that hurt resale value?

I would pay extra for exposed brick

I like it, I dunno what else to say 😂

What wash the brick if you’re looking to resell it soon. As it’s currently trendy. I guess it depends on how long you plan to stay and what the decor looks like around this wall.

Meant to say white wash*

What would you cover it with? Drywall?

That’s gorgeous. If anything I would just remove those stair tread stick ons

Do not cover the brick. This is highly coveted

I would call it a draw

It’s highly coveted and would probably devalue your home if you modify it, unless it is in very bad condition. So I would weigh how much it bothers you.

Only if it looks like the exposed brick is on purpose is it good. If it looks accidental, that's bad. And I'm sure you know how to differentiate.

On checking with the person I got referral, I got to know that they are saying that I haven't attended my skill assessment. There might be any glitch. What should I do as of now?
