Exterior Upgrades that Make an Impact

Have you ever driven past a home that didn’t look appealing on the outside? It may be something you see often since people tend to focus on their interior and neglect the exterior of their home. You can make a huge impact on your curb appeal by simply making a few upgrades to your home. If you’re not sure where to start, here are some changes you can make that will make a big impact.

Start by looking at the exterior of your home to see what you already have that you can work with or build off of. This will give you a starting point and may make the project seem less daunting and more approachable. Not only do outdoor upgrades make your home look better, but it also makes it more valuable.

Garage Doors- 

It is not often that people think to change their garage doors when upgrading the exterior of their home. Sticking with the original and simple garage doors may seem like the obvious choice. Upgrading them, however, can make more of a difference than you may think. Since many other people don’t do this, adding a unique garage door will help your home stand out and give it better curb appeal. 

Front Door-

Upgrading the front door has a similar effect to changing the garage door. It can create a better curb appeal for the home and can even make the exterior flow more cohesively. If you get a door that fits the theme or coloring of the garage, paneling, features, etc., found on the outside of the home, it can truly tie the whole appearance together and make a difference. 

Fire Pit-

Adding a fire pit to your yard will not only help increase the resale value of your home, but it will also become a part of your home that is full of memories. Because of the potential for these memories, a fire pit is a common addition people look for in a home as well as a commonplace for people to gather. 

Lawn Care-

Whether you hire a company or do it yourself, it is important to keep up with your yard. Something as simple as planting a garden can drastically increase the resale value of your home. Simple tasks such as mowing and watering your lawn can also have a big impact. This will make the exterior of your home look cleaner and more welcoming. 

Outdoor Furniture-

Adding outdoor furniture is a small upgrade that really makes an impact when it’s done right. You don’t just want to add furniture to random locations or have furniture that doesn’t fit the outdoor theme. If you implement it in a way that is cohesive, it will help the exterior flow while also making it appear more welcoming.
