There’s no better time to add much-needed curb appeal than during the summer. Sprucing up your home’s exterior will increase your home’s value and appeal to potential buyers. Here are some easy summer upgrades to complete before the cold chill of fall and winter arrives.
Update your front door
Your front door is the portal to your home, beckoning guests inside and setting the tone for your home. Update your door by applying a welcoming shade of paint, new door knockers and a sturdier, more attractive security door if you have one. Just make sure it fits in with the rest of your home. A new door may be great to look at but can be aesthetically jarring if it doesn’t fit the style of both the interior and exterior of your home.
Update your mailbox
It may seem trivial but updating your mailbox at the end of your walkway can add value to your home. Paint the box to match your home’s exterior, purchase and install a new weather-proof box or plant a bed of flowers around the base of your box’s post. Your mailbox can make an impression on passersby, so adding a little TLC to your box can yield big on returns.
Renew planter beds
Nothing looks worse than dead plants and foliage in your yard. Ready your green thumb and start removing weeds, prune overgrowth, pull dead plants and add new mulch where necessary. Choose plants that are resilient and boast exceptional longevity, such as perennials that die off in the winter but grow again in the spring.
Install shutters on your windows
Window shutters are great for adding beauty and functionality. Ornate shutter windows can wow potential buyers, while also shielding your home’s interior from the sun during hot summers. Shutters made of PVC resins or polyurethane are great choices due to their durability and low maintenance.
