Curb Appeal Projects to Consider Now
Posted on May 20, 2021
Now is the time to improve your home’s curb appeal and tackle those exterior projects as you’re ready for your friends, family, and neighbors to have a great new impression of your home this summer.
So where do you start with this project? We’ve created a list of ways to improve your curb appeal, some of which can be DIY and others that require a professional.
Power Wash
Power washing is the best way to improve the look of your home. Your home’s exterior is exposed to harsh elements like dirt, sun, bird droppings, car exhaust and pollutants.
Removing dirt and streaks with a power washer is an easy and inexpensive project for improving your curb appeal. There are three ways power washing can be done by yourself. First way is renting one, then you can either purchase, or borrow one. But one quick warning: some power washers offer too much power which can result in chipped paint, loose or dented siding, or an uneven job. If you’ve never used a power washer before, you may want to consider hiring a professional.
Apply a New Coat of Paint
You want the exterior of your home to reflect who you are as a homeowner, neighbor, and a person. Paint also wears over time so it’s likely that your home needs a touch-up to restore it to its full potential.
Contact our professionals at CertaPro Painters of Myrtle Beach, SC and ask our team what paint colors they suggest and how to achieve the aesthetic you dream of. Don’t forget to paint the eaves, trim, windows, shutters, and doors to really make your primary color shine.
Revamp Your Front Porch
Make your house stand out by updating your front porch. How do you do this? The best way is to power wash your front porch, sand it, and repaint the area. You’ll be surprised at how much a new coat of paint can brighten up a space.
Your front porch is the entryway to your home and updating it will immediately add curb appeal making it the nicest home on the block.
Update Your Deck
Your deck is used to spend time with friends and family in the backyard during the summer. To increase your home’s curb appeal, try restaining or re-staining the wood. Even applying a new coat of paint can totally transform your outdoor living space. As with most of these curb appeal projects, re-staining and/or painting a deck can be done on your own. But consider a professional to ensure perfect uniformity.
