How to Take Your Home’s Exterior to the Next Level

Interested in elevating your home’s exterior for your enjoyment, or are you looking to boost your property value in preparation for selling? No matter the reason, there are many ways to make improvements. 

 

Simple changes such as replacing your front door or upgrading your landscaping can make a larger impact than you might think. If your commitment level (and budget) is higher you may consider installing new windows or investing in high-quality siding. Let’s look further into these exterior remodeling projects so you can better decide which might be best for you. 

 

Invest in High-Quality Siding

 

Upgrading your home’s siding will not only breathe new life into your home but also boost its value. Siding is available in a wide variety of materials, colors, and styles which can be matched to any budget. Vinyl and fiber cement siding are the two most popular options that can transform your home’s exterior. 

 

The return on investment from installing high-quality siding is very attractive. Additionally, premium siding will keep your home protected and functioning at energy efficient conditions. Re-siding your home can be a complex project so we suggest hiring a professional team like Central Exteriors to get the job done right. 

 

Install New Windows

 

New windows can significantly impact the curb appeal of your home. Their style, shape, and size can be customized to match your taste or to better compliment your home’s character. Changes to window materials, colors, or grille patterns make an amazing impact that can transform the look of your home. 

 

There are endless options when it comes to upgrading your windows. You can change your color scheme, enhance your trim, add, or subtract grilles, and even accessorize. New windows will also improve your home’s energy efficiency, saving you money on your utility bills. This upgrade is worth it in the long run as it will increase your home’s value and much of the expense can be recuperated should you decide to sell. 

 

Replace Your Front Door

 

You might not think it will make a big difference but replacing your front door can drastically improve your home’s aesthetic. The front door is the first thing that you, visitors, or potential buyers will see when approaching the property. Creating a welcoming feature can go a long way for your satisfaction as well as the property’s curb appeal. 

 

A new front door is an opportunity to make a statement and add some color, but make sure to consider your existing exterior home design. A new door will also perform better, be more energy-efficient, and eliminate drafts. 

 

Upgrade Your Landscaping

 

A landscaping upgrade has the potential to create a wow factor and instantly improve the exterior appearance of your home. There are endless ways that you can refresh your landscaping. These changes will make your atmosphere warmer and take your property from a house to a home. 

 

Expanding your flower garden will add more color, create an inviting mood, and if extended right out to the property line, it can even give off the perception of a larger home! Flagstone, garden beds, perennial plants, and outdoor lighting will all make dramatic impacts as well.

 

Exterior improvements can be made in all shapes and sizes, but homeowners should always consider the ROI (return on investment) when making changes. You want to ensure that the benefits of a project outweigh the costs in the long run.
