Whether you’re selling your home, building a new one, or renovating a 1950’s rancher, first impressions are everything. The way your house looks from the street says a lot about the people living inside and an exterior that is attractively landscaped and well-maintained can add thousands to the value of your home. So, if you’re not falling in love all over again when you’re pulling into the driveway, here are a few easy steps to improve your home’s curb appeal by giving it the facelift it deserves:
1. Highlight Your Front Door
Making the front door the focal point of the home is a design tactic we often use when building custom homes and conducting exterior renovations for our clients. Whether you’re selecting a front door for your newly built home or buying a replacement for a weathered one, the variety of options in front door style, size, material, and cost can leave you overwhelmed. A Practical Guide to Choosing Your Front Door will walk you through everything you need to know about door selection process so you can feel confident before and after installation.
2. Freshen Up Your Siding
Although high pressure washing is a great way to remove grime from your patio and driveway, a home’s exterior is not built for that method of cleaning. Paint can be blasted off, screens can be shredded, vinyl siding can be damaged or knocked loose, and double pane windows can have their seals broken causing fogging between the two layers of glass. A good scrub with a mild detergent, a hose, and a touch of paint should be just enough to brighten your home.
3. Don’t Forget About Roofing
Most homeowners don’t give their roofs a second glance, but your roof is something people do notice when driving by your home. If your roof dingy and streaked or missing any shingles, a thorough cleaning or even a roof replacement will improve your home’s aesthetic dramatically. If you’re in the position of choosing new roofing material, consider metal roofing as you weigh your options.If you’re leaning towards a major overhaul, McCamy Construction can meet your needs with an exterior renovation.
