How To Improve Your Curb Appeal

Whether you're just looking to spruce up the front of your house or you're thinking of selling

, there are many big and small remodeling projects that will improve your home's curb appeal.

Porch - If you're doing a major remodeling project, think about adding a porch or remodeling the one you have. A porch can add character to the front of an otherwise drab house, and if your neighborhood is full of similar model houses, your home will stand out. Plus porches can provide wonderful gathering places for the family or a place to unwind after a long day.

Siding and Exterior Details - If your siding is dull or deteriorating, putting up new siding will enhance the house's appearance and its value. Think about how columns, railings, and trim around windows and doors can enhance your home's exterior, particularly if you're going for a period look. Small details like these can add visual interest and give your home a unified look.

Doors - The front door is one of the first things people notice about a house. Make sure yours is attractive and fits with the other details in the home's exterior. If your garage doors face the street, think about replacing them. It used to be that all garage doors looked pretty much the same...and pretty blah. Today you can get garage doors in a variety of colors and styles that can really liven up the outside of a house.

Quick Fixes - If you have limited time or a limited budget, there are many small things you can do. Give the house a quick coat of paint or replace the hardware on the door and the light fixtures. To soften your house's look, add plantings around the foundation or put potted plants near the front door.
