Paint or Replace Your Front Door

Your front door should make a great first impression, so making it beautiful is a must for anyone looking to up their home’s curb appeal. A great and cost-effective way to upgrade your front door is to paint your existing one a new colour or replace your existing door hardware with a new set. If you’re looking for a bigger change, consider replacing your front door entirely with a brand new one with an interesting design or showpiece window to really tie it in to the front of your home.

Upgrade Your Windows

Upgrading your windows is a great way to not only boost curb appeal, but to increase the energy efficiency in your home. New windows look great from the outside and help to provide a barrier from the elements, keeping your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. You can choose to replace your windows completely or retrofit your existing frames depending on your needs and budget.

Replace Your Garage Door

Your garage door is one of the most prominent visual features on the front of your home, so upgrading it can add significant curb appeal. If you’re tired of your current look, consider painting your garage door a new, bold colour and updating the other elements like your window shades to match. If your garage door is older, you can replace it with a new door with beautiful new windows or an exciting new finish to give your home’s exterior an instant boost.

Refresh Your Front Yard Landscaping

Updating the greenery around your home is the perfect way to enhance the curb appeal and add some colour to your façade. Hanging planters from your fences, on your porch or even from railings can add some greenery to your yard. Add some fresh new mulch around any existing shrubs or trees to clean up the look and help them retain water. Trimming shrubs and bushes can also neaten up the look and feel of your yard.
