Signs A Home Exterior Needs Updating

when

But

is equally

for

owners who aren’t putting their homes on the market A well-maintained, aesthetically appealing home is a source of pride, while a home with fading curb appeal can make homeowners feel a little sheepish Homeowners who want their homes to maintain their curb appeal can look for signs that it’s time to update their home exteriors

• Curling shingles: The roof may not be the first thing people think of when pondering curb appeal, but a damaged roof can contribute to problems that ultimately affect the exterior and interior of the home

Multiple curling shingles indicate it s time to replace the roof The sight of curling shingles is not pretty, but the larger issue in such instances is the potential for costly water damage when water gets in through the affected shingles

• Dated entry door: Many home improvement experts insist they can determine when a home was built or most recently renovated simply by looking at the front door Steel and glass doors are popular in modern homes, so homeowners with front doors with ornate designs and oval glass inserts can likely benefit from an upgrade to their entryway A modern front door can make a statement and real estate experts note how popular updated front doors are among buyers

• Unsightly landscaping: It’s not only the physical components of the home that may suggest an update is necessary Homeowners without a green thumb may have exterior landscaping that has seen better days If a spring or summer day spent tending to your landscaping is not your ideal weekend pastime, then consider replacing unsightly landscaping with low-maintenance plants or hardscaping These alternatives to more needy plants can create curb appeal without requiring any extra work for homeowners

• Cracked driveways/walkways: If the driveway looks like a busy road at the end of snow plowing season, chances are that’s adversely affecting the impression people have of your home In addition cracked walkways indicate a need for renovations, as these areas are front and center when welcoming guests

Updating a home’s exterior can restore curb appeal and help homeowners feel better about their properties situation, it might be time to replace windows
