Let’s face it, the first impression your house makes is from the outside.  The inside of your home could be absolutely breath taking, but if the outside is ho hum you may be losing some impact.  Fortunately there are easy fixes to this problem.  With the help of a contractor you can make your home look like a million bucks inside and out.

Impressive Entrance – The doorway to your home is the first impression that most people get.  Make it a good one!  Choose a door that fits the scale of your home.  Don’t be afraid to upgrade to a better quality door as well.  It can be a very good investment.  Also, make sure the door matches the style of your home.  A traditional door on a midcentury modern home may look silly, and vice versa.  An impressive entrance will make people want to see more of what your home has to offer.

Awnings, Porches, and Decks – Along with a great front door, a great entrance in general will give your home curb appeal and functionality.  Depending on the style of your home, the addition of an awning or a porch may be very appropriate for you.  Your home may also have a grand entrance that just needs a little TLC.  Either way, having a beautiful entrance will make you the stand out of the block.  A contractor can help you add or fix your entrance to ensure curb appeal for your home.

New Siding or New Paint – If your home is looking a little drab, new siding or paint may be all it takes to make your home a standout.  Consider adding a bit of color to your home when you choose your paint or siding.  A strong color palette and the right materials will help your home look great and attract buyers should you ever sell.

Shutters and Details – Another way to add detail is to add shutters and accents to your home.  Maybe add window boxes under some windows, or bold framing on your windows to make a little bit of a statement.  Those little added details are easy to add with the help of a contractor, and they can add valuable visual appeal to your home.

Landscaping – Of course, while a contractor can help you with most exterior renovations, we can’t help you with landscaping.  That being said, a little bit of landscaping can go a long way.  Add some nice greens and a few flower beds to make your home blossom three seasons out of the year.
