Curb Appeal: the attractiveness of a property for sale and its surroundings when viewed from the street.
We have been taught that the inside of the house counts, but when it comes to your home, the outside is certainly just as important. A drab exterior can make you cringe every time you approach the front door, while a random thoughtful designed one can turn the experience into true pleasure. Even worse, if you are moving, a potential buyer might not even stop by your house if the exterior is unpleasant.
The good news is you don’t have to spend a bundle to enjoy a happy trip up your walkway.
One way to instantly improve the curb appeal of your home is to replace your front entry door. A new entry door can dramatically enhance the look of your home. You can go with an updated version similar in style and color to you existing door, or change the appearance of your home by choosing a different style and color that compliments your existing siding.
