First Impressions:
You only make one "first impression," and people usually form their first impression of your home within 30 seconds. What will potential buyers see when they drive up to your house. This is the best place to spend a little extra time and money. Plant flowers, trim bushes, weed, pick up leaves, repaint your front door, replace tarnished house numbers or a dented mailbox, get a brand-new neutral doormat and park your boat somewhere else.
Curb Appeal Tip:
The entrance area should be the main focal point your home. If you have a limited budget, paint the front door a eye-catching colour and buy a quality welcome mat.
Curb Appeal Tip:
Nothing defines the appeal of attractive windows more than complimentary shutters.
Painting Tip:
When painting aluminum, vinyl or lap siding, choose a brush that is the same width as the "board" you will be painting to save you time and energy. Place drop cloths under the areas being painted. Also be sure to cover downspouts, bushes and flowers.
