TIPS FOR CURB APPEAL EVEN IN WINTER!
TRY
THESE TIPS...EVEN IF YOU CAN ONLY DO A FEW OF THEM.
1)
If warm enough, remove peeling paint, and repaint that area.
..........................................................
2) Perk up the front porch with attractive large containers or add window boxes (fill w/ seasonal
embelishments thruout the year), add a new welcome mat, repaint or stain worn floorboards, add sitting area (everybody
loves the idea of a porch to sit on) & make sure cushions are clean.
.........................................................
3) Have a professional
powerwash the roof, shutters & siding with chemicals & power designed specifically for these surfaces. Well worth
the small investment especially if the front faces North!
.........................................................
4)
After powerwashing make your windows sparkle by cleaning.
.........................................................
5) Paint gutters to match the trim.
.........................................................
6) Add
lighting...for safety & a few lights in the trees add a soft & memorable glow at night... too many lights along a walk will make it look like
an airport runway.
..........................................................
7)
Keep the yard tidy by pruning & cutting away dead trees or branches, keep the flower beds edged to give a crisp look,
rake up those leftover leaves from the fall & add new mulch.
........................................................
8) Don't forget the front door! Easy to add a fresh
coat of paint or stain in a complimentary color with a polished knocker or seasonal hanging embelishment in keeping with the
style of your home!
