3 Ways to Spruce Up Your Home’s Curb Appeal

If you’re thinking of selling your home, you probably understand that first impressions matter to prospective buyers. One way you can ensure your home’s looked are primed for sale-ability, is by maintaining your home’s curb appeal.

The curb appeal of your home goes beyond having a perfectly manicured green lawn, or well-maintained custom window shutters. It is these elements and more that encompass that initial first impression prospective home buyers have upon first looking at your home’s exterior.

 

Today we’ll discuss three ways you can spruce up your home’s exterior to boost overall curb appeal.

 

1. Make Your Front Door Pop

 

If the paint on your front door is peeling, it’s time to invest in some new paint to bring your front door back to life. Choose a bold colour that brings out the best of your home’s features – and don’t be afraid to go brighter if it makes sense for your home. Consider installing new hardware if the door handles and lock no longer look like they belong in this decade, or are broken enough to be on the brink of becoming a potential security issue.  These seemingly small changes could end up being that unique touch prospective home buyers are looking for.

 

2. Stain Your Garage Door

 

Just as it is important to maintain your front door, it’s equally important that your garage door is also well-maintained. If you’re on a budget, don’t bother having to stress over buying a new garage door. Put in the work to stain your current garage door instead. Begin by power washing the first coat off before applying the first base paint coat layer. You’ll end up with a “like-new” garage door in no time!
