5 Ways to Boost Your Curb Appeal This Summer

The days are getting warmer and we are entering what many consider to be the best time of the year - grilling season! Now is the perfect opportunity to ensure your home looks good while you host guests for backyard gatherings and neighborhood cookouts. At Elevated Roofing & Siding, we can help you freshen up your property and add long-term value to your home. Let’s explore five ways you can boost your curb appeal in time for the summer barbecue season.

1. Upgrade Your Siding

Your siding is one of the first things people notice from the street, and you don’t want the most defining feature of your home to detract from your curb appeal. If your siding is warped, faded, outdated, or damaged from a recent storm, it might be time to have it replaced. Brand new siding will not only revive your home’s exterior, it will increase your home’s value as well.

2. Replace Your Gutters

Old gutters can steal the spotlight from an otherwise aesthetically-pleasing home, casting a negative first impression in the minds of both guests and passersby. Sleek, seamless gutters will function better and improve your home’s appearance. After all, gutters that are no longer able to do their job effectively can lead to bigger, costlier problems down the road than an unsightly exterior.

3. Update Your Front Door

This seemingly small upgrade can make a big impact on your home’s facade. Whether you get a new front door or simply apply a fresh coat of paint to your current one, it will serve as a welcoming focal point for all who enter. Many homeowners use the front door as a way to make a bold statement without committing to a large-scale change.

4. Power Wash Everything

Everything around your property collects dirt and grime throughout the fall and winter. Driveways, walkways, siding, and decks can all end up looking drab by the time the warm weather arrives. A good power washing will make all of these surfaces look brand new and make your home instantly look better without breaking the bank.

5. Clean and Paint Trim

When it comes to creating strong curb appeal, you must not overlook the details. Trim that is cracked, peeling, or faded will make an otherwise well-maintained home look neglected and dated. Refreshing the paint on your trim, shutters, or porch railings will give your home a polished look. If you’re looking for a professional touch, our team is here to help you with your exterior painting needs.
