Quick Ways to Improve the Curb Appeal of Your Home

Quick Ways to Improve the Curb Appeal of Your Home

As that old saying goes, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. When it comes to your home, its “curb appeal” is the initial impression people get when they see your house for the first time. The term doesn’t just refer to the upkeep of the home — properties with a strong curb appeal typically have that “it” factor that makes them stand out from the others on the block. Whether it’s the immaculate landscaping, unique architecture or ornate garage door, there’s something that captures the attention of passersby.

The Benefits of Boosting Your Boca Raton Home’s Curb Appeal

Curb appeal isn’t necessarily easy to achieve. It requires effort, imagination and, in some cases, making a financial investment. However, the results can pay off in a variety of ways:

  • Generating Interest: Whether you’re hoping to sell your home or attempting to make it the showcase of the neighborhood, boosting its curb appeal will make people want to stop and take a closer look.
  • Increasing Value: While making improvements that enhance curb appeal may require an upfront investment, they can also increase your home’s value. You’ll likely be able to get a higher price when you place your house on the market.
  • Freshening the Appearance: Taking steps such as cleaning your home’s exterior or applying a new coat of paint will give your home a “fresher” look and make it more appealing.
  • Making a Connection: A house with attractive, unique features allows potential buyers to make an emotional connection to the property, which often plays a significant role in a purchasing decision.

How to Enhance Your Home’s Curb Appeal

There are several quick ways to improve the curb appeal of your home, including:

  • Eliminate the Clutter: Perhaps the easiest and least costly way to improve your property’s appearance is removing the “eyesore” items on the lawn and around the house. Examples include dilapidated lawn furniture, toys, rusted fixtures and empty planters.
  • Spruce up the Lawn: Keep the grass mowed and manicured. Regularly water the lawn to prevent unattractive brown spots from forming.
  • Don’t Neglect the Landscaping: Overgrown trees, shrubs and other landscaping features will make your property appear unkempt. They can also block sunlight that may highlight some of your home’s more attractive features.
  • Apply a Fresh Coat of Paint: If your home is starting to look a bit drab and dreary, an exterior paint job can make it look new again.
  • Retrofit the Front Door and Garage Door: Every visitor or passerby will notice your front door. If your home has a garage, the door may comprise 30 percent or more of its exterior. Retrofitting these doors will dramatically improve your home’s curb appeal.

    The best! They came out and repaired my garage door within 3 hours of calling them, with parts and labor I was charged... $55! Same day service and totally reasonable fee! When does that ever happen? For once, the unforeseen stumbling blocks that life throws in ones path that usually turns into disaster, stress and a huge financial hit; thanks to The Doorman, turned into an insignificant bump in the road.read more

    Had a broken spring in my large garage door. Called these guys, who quoted me $400 to $500. When the technician... showed up he said it would be $1300. I sent him away, and called the well known guys from Pompano who fixed it (replaced both springs) for $550.read more

    This company is great. My spring broke trapping our cars inside at 1pm. Called the office and a service man was here by... 3pm and replaced the springs and got us back up and running. Joanne in the office is a doll and Julio the tech was friendly, knowledgeable and fast with the repair. Highly recommend for any garage door needs.read more

    The absolute best. They came out on a Saturday and were able to fix my garage door in less time than it took for me to... tell my neighbor what was wrong with it when she saw them working on it. Fixed the problem, programmed a new remote, and fixed the outside keypad all for less than the other companies wanted just to show up to and give an estimate. I can't say enough good things about these guys. They are reliable, more than fair priced, and warranty their work for a year. 100000% would refer them to all of my clients, neighbors, and friends. Thank you to Julio and Eric!!read more

    My garage door spring snapped this morning and I called the Doorman and spoke with Jim the owner who was very nice and... able to send someone out within 30 minutes of me calling. Eric came out gave me a quick estimate, had what he needed on the truck and had my springs replaced and door back up and running within about 30 minutes. He also made a few minor tweaks to my door to ensure it’s running great. Amazing company with fair and honest pricing. I highly recommend them and would definitely use them again. Thanks Eric!read more

    I did my homework and found The Doorman to replace my old garage door with a hurricane proof new one. They promptly... replied to my emails and explained the details, which were many, and came out for an estimate which was reasonable as compared to other bigger vendors. Jim and Keith did not try to oversell me and helped me choose the best door in my budget. They custom built my door to specs and took care of all the permits which was great. Keep in mind it did take a few weeks to make the door, so order in enough time for delivery you want. Best part was Cory who installed my new door very professionally and very friendly too and did an amazing job! I was not very excited about buying this; however, now I am very pleased and love how quiet and smooth it runs and also looks clean. Worth every penny and will call them if service is needed as they were very prompt and courteous. Happy customer!read more
