Tips to have GREAT curb appeal. 1) Stay in sync with your neighborhood! Put your money toward regular maintenance and energy-efficient upgrades. Don't let your house stick out like a sore thumb! 2) Choose exterior colors wisely! You are not looking for shock value so keep your colors in harmony with your neighbors. 3) Get Organized! Create a place for everything including keeping trashcans and recycle bins on the side of the house. 4) A Fresh Look! Don't let stains or mold on the side of your home be a problem. Try to have routine maintenance and clean annually to keep your house looking fresh! 5) Moderation is a virtue! Keep lawn ornaments to a minimum and keep shrubs well trimmed and weeds pulled. This will help preserve the value of your property.
