Are you on the hunt for ways to boost your home’s curb appeal? Look no further than the following
- Upgrade your front door. Talk about an easy way to majorly upgrade your home’s appearance! Plus, a study found that a new door can raise your home’s value by thousands. Looking for a return on investment? This is a great place to start.
- Install outdoor lighting. “Properly planned and installed outdoor lighting can add safety, drama, and interest to your home,” BH&G advises. “Path lighting should also be an integral part of your outdoor lighting plan.”
- Install new roofing. When viewed from the curb, a home is 40 percent roof. Pretty significant, right? “When replacing a roof, it’s best to tear off the old roof rather than install a new one over it,” says BH&G. “Removing the old roof reveals any defects that should be fixed before the new roof is installed.”
- Add flair with architectural detail. Replacing siding? Why not add a few embellishments to give your home that extra pop from the curb? Options include decorative shutters, a small balcony over the front door, and wide moldings around the front door and garage door.
