Sooner or later, every homeowner is going to get bored with their current home. They might consider selling the home. However, the best course of action is to update the home. Updating the home is a way to bring instant beauty and value to the home. The idea is to make the home more appealing to the eye and a wonderful place for the family to enjoy. The fact is that a few projects will get the ball rolling and add instant curb appeal and value to just about any home.
The Exterior Door
The first thing that captures a visitor’s eye is the front door. The front door sets the stage for the entire exterior. A crappy looking front door will certainly diminish the value of a home. There are several ways to upgrade the door. For example, the homeowner might decide to completely replace the exterior door. Another homeowner on a budget might decide to simply upgrade the hardware on the door. The simplest upgrade is to paint the door.
Exterior Walls
Take a look at the exterior walls around the home. Most home exteriors are brick, concrete, or siding. It might be time to give the exterior walls a good scrubbing. The quickest way is to use a power sprayer to remove the dirt and grime buildup on the exterior walls. Those with a larger budget might prefer refinishing the walls and new vinyl siding installation.
Other Exterior Home Projects
Perhaps, it is time to update that wood deck and fence. A power wash and new stain would give those items a brand new look. Apply a high grade cleaning solution, let it dry. Next, apply a waterproof stain to keep the deck and fence looking good longer. Add solar light lamppost to the entrance. They are very affordable and create a quiet elegance to the front entrance. Another fun way to quickly update the exterior of the home is to make sure that the lawn is well trimmed. Add a row of colorful annuals to the yard. Those without a yard might prefer to add large flower pots around the entrance that contain colorful flowers.
