Summer is the perfect time to think about projects that will boost the curb appeal of your home. While hiring a house painting service for your Haverford, PA home will certainly help, there are other steps you can take to improve your property’s appearance.
Here are a few steps you can take to make sure your home has the best curb appeal on the block:
Do a General Clean Up
Spring cleaning often gets allocated to the inside of a home without much regard to what your house looks like on the outside, which makes sense. You’ve spent a lot of time indoors, trying to keep the dust and cobwebs at bay more than worrying about the state of your flowerbeds.
However, summertime is opportune to start thinking about your home’s exterior, and cleaning is always the first step to a home improvement project. You should wipe your windows clean and hose down your sidewalks and walls to shake loose any grime accumulated over the months.
During your cleanup, you should take note of any signs of damage around your home. This could be damage as severe as sections of your home’s structure crumbling or as small as a bit of chipped paint; now’s the time to handle it before it becomes a more significant problem altogether.
Perform Seasonal Maintenance
With your yard clear and walls washed clean, it’s time to take care of any repairs you noticed you might need while you cleaned.
Often, the primary issues that arise are a few missing shingles from the roof, a piece of your gutter system that’s come undone, or your garden might need a little trim to look its best. While these may seem small, making these repairs can sharpen the details of your property and add significant curb appeal to your home.
Add a Fresh Coat of Paint
Once your yard’s been maintained, and all aspects of your house are working the way they should, consider adding a fresh coat of paint to polish it off! Pay attention to elements of your home such as your:
- Front Door
- Window Shutters
- Trim
- Gutter
While it can be fun and challenging to make it a DIY project, there are some things better left to the professionals!
