Have You Ever Noticed the Difference a Quality Gutter Can Make?
How does your home look like from the street?
When you pull into your driveway, your home’s curb appeal is not generally the first thing on your mind… but why not? Your house doesn’t need to be market-bound to deserve a spruce up. Being house-proud keeps you productive, and the fun part is you get to enjoy the fruits of your labour.
Poke your head out the front and take a look for yourself. Assess the exterior of your home from the street and take note of what could be improved. You will be surprised at how easy it is to freshen the place up.
Front Entrance Facelift
Your front door is the entry to your home, so naturally, it will be the focal point. To kick things off with a bang, why not paint your front door? Choose a contrasting colour to really make it pop!
Replacing your old doorknob can also make a huge difference. Install a door knocker while you’re at it for that extra something.
Add some character with a unique pot plant and a cute chair or two on your front porch. This will produce a warm, homely feel while creating a new sitting area for you to enjoy.
If you have the space in your front yard, a walkway leading to your porch will drastically improve the look of your home. Not only is it a welcoming feature, but a stone or paved path can give your home that rustic feel.
