How To Boost Curb Appeal

A home’s exterior is the first thing we notice when driving up - and first impressions matter! Well designed exteriors make the home more attractive, boosting curb appeal and increasing property value. When remodeling a home, it is important to consider just how much redesigning will make the upgrades worth the investment.

When deciding on the renovation plans for the 1940s home in Kennydale, it was safe to say that redesigning the exterior would be well worth it in the long run. The original home was very plain and simple with few windows, a small front entryway and minimal landscaping. The house was outdated and not coordinating with the aesthetic of the newer homes in the area.

Working with an architect was necessary for a new design that would be more functional while creating a distinct look that would fit in with the existing houses in the neighborhood. Creating dimension by adding a large covered porch would add interest to the front of the house and bring it up to date. Walkways and a driveway will complement the updated landscaping and appearance of the new porch, which will create instant curb appeal and an overall beautiful exterior!
