Focus on Exterior Walls

You have a number of options when it comes to remodeling the exterior walls of your home. Painting your home can achieve the look you want with a smaller cost upfront, but requires frequent maintenance. Vinyl and aluminum siding are more expensive options and take more labor to install, but both outlast paint and require much less maintenance. Other long-lasting options include brick, stone, engineered wood, stucco, and veneers.

Windows Are Both Decorative and Energy Savers

Replacing windows is another way to increase your home’s value and beauty, and is beneficial when it comes to both aesthetics and savings. Many of today’s replacement windows are energy-efficient and will result in lowered utility costs. Adding an extra window improves natural lighting in the home. A bay or bow window can add charm and utility when accompanied by indoor seating.

Create an Entrance with Pizazz

Special attention should be paid to your home’s entrance, making it welcoming and reflective of your style. It is the first impression your home makes on guests. Updates can be as inexpensive as painting the front door, adding a pop of color and style. Other ideas include building a porch, a portico, dormers, balustrades, and new front doors.

Walkways Can Add Impact

Walkways can be a wonderful addition to your home, but special attention should be paid to their installation to ensure an attractive, safe and long-lasting finished product. Materials such as stone, brick, or even wood add style to your home’s exterior when remodeling. Installing solar lights along the walkway are utilitarian yet provide an elegant touch too.

Bring Color into the Mix with Landscaping

Landscaping your home has many benefits. For one, it is a sure way to improve your home’s exterior appearance, adding style, beauty and even value. Beyond the beauty, trees can provide shade in your home, reducing air conditioning costs. It is also an investment that appreciates over time, growing and becoming more beautiful each year. If you lack space for flowerbeds consider potted plants, which you can change by season.
