Curb appeal is a key consideration for exterior home improvements. It’s more than just making your home look beautiful: boosting curb appeal can help increase your home’s value. In today’s post, Empire Roofing & More takes a look at great home exterior projects that will help improve your home’s look.
Get New Roofing and Siding
The roof and siding comprise most of your home’s exterior, and are the first thing people see as they approach your home. If your home exterior is due for a major change, roofing and siding should be at the top of your list. Take it as an opportunity to change your home’s color palette and style. Thanks to a wide selection of colors, styles and profiles, the imagination is the limit.
Gutter Replacement
Gutters are an essential yet often overlooked part of the roof. Setting aside the fact that they are there to protect the house foundations from moisture damage, gutters provide a visual complement to other parts of the house’s exterior. They’re like well-placed trim: they give the roof edges a finished look and define its outline. The right gutter style can even add a touch of authenticity in certain home styles. Also, consider having gutter filters with your new gutters. They help keep leaves, needles and other solid matter out of the gutter troughs, preventing congestion and making the gutters easier to maintain.
Landscaping
Landscaping can give your home an instant facelift. It doesn’t even have to be a dramatic change — something as simple as replacing dead patches of grass can add life to a yard. You can take the next step by working with a landscaper in giving your yard a new look. Low-maintenance evergreens can help give your home a consistent look all year round. You should also consider incorporating hardscaping into the design. Stone structures such as a bird feeder can add contrast to all the greenery.
