Many homeowners are taking a look at exterior home renovations that add value to their property. Not only does this help give your home a refreshed look that will enhance its curb appeal, but it could also give your house a solid price boost if you’re considering putting it up for sale soon.
That being said, not all upgrades are worth the investment in time and money. Therefore, the more you know about exterior home renovations that add value, the better you’ll be able to enjoy your home’s new look and make a nice chunk of change if you do sell it down the line.
Let’s take a look at some of the best exterior home renovations that add value.
Renovate The Door
The front door is arguably one of the first things people see when they look at your house. A nice, modern-looking door is usually a pretty good indicator of what people can expect to see on the inside of the residence. From the outside, there’s no question that a great-looking front door can increase a home’s curb appeal factor.
Beyond the good looks, however, doors serve several vital functions that influence the quality of life in your home; most notably, it helps keep unwanted visitors out. In terms of comfort, a properly insulated door helps keep cold air out, while keeping the warm air inside.
These days, doors can be equipped with smart tech gadgets like remote locks and wi-fi cameras that will enhance its security and functionality while also adding value to your home.
Give Your Landscaping Some Love
Having a nice, green lawn in your front yard has long been one of the most attractive benefits of owning a home. It can give families space outside their home to relax, play with their pets or simply have a nice afternoon nap under your favourite tree.
However, many young families these days are working longer hours and have little-to-no time to dedicate a few hours to proper lawn management.
Fortunately, it doesn’t take a lot to transform your lawn into an attention-grabbing feature of your house. With a little imagination and minimal investment, you can add cool features like a walkway, some decorative plants or even build a small deck and you’ll see an immediate transformation of your home.
Add A Fresh Coat Of Paint
The color of a house is arguably the most attention-grabbing feature of any residence. That’s why most people start by painting the exterior of their home.
Over time, the paint on the exterior walls of a home will fade and wear out due to wind, weather and the physical interactions over the years. This provides a great opportunity to breathe new life into your home by giving it a fresh coat of paint.
Needless to say, you should coordinate any new color schemes with a professional painter as they have the knowledge and skills on how to maximize your home’s visual appeal
