CURB APPEAL
As we approach the season of sunny, warm weather, it is a good time to work on projects for the exterior of your home, especially as you consider putting your property on the market. Looking at the property from the eyes of potential buyers, you may want to consider some landscaping or other areas for an upgrade.
There are projects that won’t break the bank nor will a remodel be required nor totally re-landscaping the yard. Here are but a few easy projects that will not take a long time to accomplish.
~Replace the mailbox. Over time, mailboxes start to look worn and rusty from all the exposure to the weather. Replacing the box is an easy fix. Or you might think about building a permanent structure that covers the mailbox, protecting it from the weather.
~Lights. Adding or upgrading the lights on the porch or along the walkway or even the driveway can add a welcome home feeling to the property. The added light can also add to the security of the home. The soft glow of the lights in the evenings is inviting.
~Landscape. There are so many places to add flowers or small bushes to the front of the home. Flowers can be put into window boxes for the front windows. Decorate the walkway or driveway with small bushes. Flower pots can be put anywhere in the front of the home and can be moved around for a change. A small, decorative fence can line the driveway. There are many, inexpensive ways to add to the landscaping of the home.
~Windows. If you are thinking about a bigger project, then you might consider replacing the windows. This can be the best home improvement you make to the property. Not only will it look great, it will save with energy costs as well. There are a variety of vendors, easily found online, to choose from. Plus, they do all the work!
Spring is the season for cleaning, de-cluttering the house and yard and garage. It not only feels good to get it accomplished, but will add to the appeal of the property as potential Buyers walk through.
