Sacramento Movers Share Ways to Add Curb Appeal to Your House

Whether you just want to make you home look nice inside and out or you have your home up for sale, first impressions about your home are everything. Curb appeal matters whether or not you have a home up for sale because an attractive, well maintained home and yard is inviting and can give you a lift every time you come home.

·        Tackle the maintenance details. Start by mowing the lawn and edging the driveway and walkway. Every line should be straight. Power wash the outside, and polish every surface that shines.

·        Clean the walkways and driveway. Clean each surface then patch small holes and cracks. If you are feeling creative and up for the extra work, define the edges of a side walk or driveway with brick or stone.

·        Arrange a container garden. Combine a variety of sizes, heights, shapes and textures along with a pop of color of blooming plants.

·        Add trees or plant beds. Mature trees in a well-landscaped yard can add significant value to your home and provide shading for the home which can reduce air-conditioning costs in the summer. Even small trees can provide shade!

·        Paint or replace the front door. If your door is in good shape, remove the hardware, sand it thoroughly, and apply 2 coats of exterior enamel in a color that contrasts with the home or complements the siding. Or you can just replace the whole thing.

·        Hang shutters. Nothing can really change a home’s appearance faster than adding shutters. Well-placed shutters define windows and add dimension and color.

·        Upgrade exterior lighting. Good lighting can make your home sparkle and extremely inviting. Try lining a walkway with solar landscape lights, or swapping out an old recessed light for a chandelier.

·        Renew home hardware. Beauty lies in the details. Take a weekend to update and replace items like the door knob, knocker, and address numbers. Choose timeless items that will remain looking elegant, and compliment your homes architecture.
