Quick Fixes For Curb Appeal

How does your house look from the curb? After a long winter, chances are good it could use a refresher.

While you might be tempted to take on an HGTV-style renovation to get that coveted curb appeal, there are many smaller-scale projects any homeowner can do and still achieve great results.

“I like to start with the front porch,” says Stacy Marsilio, CKD, Choice Home Remodeling. “After a good cleaning, give it some personal charm with outdoor chairs, bright cushions, a colorful rug and a fun wreath on your door. Add a couple plants or hanging flowers and you’re done!”

Check out these curb appeal tips – ranging from no cost to moderate expense – that you can do on your next free weekend.

No expense

clean your windows and glass door, inside and out
clean your outdoor light fixtures
remove cobwebs around the exterior
reduce the number of accessories in your yard and gardens. Less is more.

Low expense

try a new color on shutters and/or door
plant flowers around your front entry
hang flowers and plants on your porch
paint flower pots, arrange on front steps
window boxes – buy them pre-assembled or build your own
add decorative pavers to a walkway

Moderate expense

add mulch to your flower beds and around trees
put a bench or chairs on your porch, add decorative cushions for a pop of color
upgrade the house numbers on the front of your house
replace broken shutters
install a new mailbox
pressure wash your home’s exterior – rent a pressure washer for the day or hire a pro

I just had a window and two doors replaced by Choice Home Remodeling. Their workmanship was excellent. Tim was very professional and Rob and his crew were great to work with. I would highly recommend them to family and friends!

I recently had Choice Home Remodeling install new windows and a patio door in our home. We were in the market looking for contractors and Choice was recommended by neighbors who were very pleased with the work they had done. The sales team was very helpful and knowledgeable with which window option was best for us and working within our budget. Any questions we had they were quick to respond and always available to call. The installation crew were on time each day and respectful of us and our property. They were super friendly and were easily able to accommodate our schedule and completed the job on time just as they promised. The entire process was seamless as we didn’t have to stress about any of the process because Choice has already taken care of it or always had the next steps before we even get the opportunity to ask. We are very pleased with the products and how the results turned out. We would definitely recommend Choice Home Remodeling for home improvement projects.
