Summer Tasks To Boost Your Home's Curb Appeal

6/29/2017

Summer is a great time to get outside and spruce up your yard and the outside of your home. You'll probably be spending a lot of time outdoors, so improving your curb appeal will make that a more pleasant experience. It's also a wonderful way to increase the value of a house and make a good impression on potential buyers. Midwest Renovation has a few ideas on how you can get the outside of your home looking it's best this time of year. 


Pressure Wash
We recently wrote about the benefits of pressure washing. It's a quick and cost effective way that our mid-Missouri renovation company can clean up your siding, driveway, and deck to make your house look like new. Removing the layers of dirt and grime that naturally build up over the year will greatly improve the look of any home. 

Paint the Exterior
If you have any type of painted wood on the outside of your home, like wooden siding, trim, or shutters, once it's been cleaned it may need a fresh coat of paint. Just like painting a room inside the house makes it feel fresh and new, the same goes for a paint update on the outside. For an added pop of color, you could even paint your front door a fun shade. If you come across any rotted pieces of wood, let our construction company in mid-Missouri take a look at it to see if it's an indication of bigger problems.   

Stain the Deck
This doesn't have to be done every year, but the protective stain on your house's deck will wear out over time. Depending on the type of stain used last, you should re-stain it every 2-4 years.  

Trim Trees & Brush
Get rid of any broken or dead limbs that are leftover from those spring storms, and trim up the bushes around your home to tame overgrown patches. Make sure the area around your AC unit is free of any plants or weeds. Take a good look at your yard and spot any areas that look bare. Now is a good time to put some fresh flowers in the ground or plant a new tree.  

Replace Exterior Lighting
A well-lit front porch and walkway are an important safety feature for any home. Updating old fixtures can greatly improve the curb appeal of the house and give it a stylish new look.  


Taking care of summer home maintenance inside and around your home keeps it in great shape for many years to come. Sprucing up the curb appeal outside not only gives you a wonderful place to hang out all season, but it also increases the value of the house. Some of these tasks can be handled by the homeowner, but if you'll be making repairs or updates that require a professional, give Midwest Renovation a call. We'll come out, take a look, and give you a quote at no cost to you.
