IMPROVE YOUR HOME'S CURB APPEAL BEFORE THE HOLIDAY SEASON

Are you looking to step up your home’s curb appeal before the huslte and bustle of the Holiday season? You know what they say – first impressions are everything whether you’re trying to sell your home or simply refresh the exterior. The exterior of your home is the first thing a person sees when they visit your home, and the last thing they see when they leave. An elegant front door, a lush garden and a welcoming walkway can all add to your home’s aesthetic appeal.


 
These 4 easy tips will have the outside of your home in excellent shape in no time.

1 – Paint Front Door: One of the first things people are drawn to is your front door. It’s the main entrance to your home and it deserves a little TLC. By painting your door you make your home stand out, showing that you’ve taken care of your door will give people a positive first impression, without them worrying what else you haven’t taken care of, if it is scuffed, flaking or damaged.

You can choose a new colour at this point, but stick to a fairly neutral colour unless you are certain that it works with your property style and garden. If you like the colour you already have, simply repaint it to keep it fresh. Our Paint and Acessories Department will be of invaluable assistance in choosing all your painting needs.

2 – Clear Weeds: Maybe the weeds in your front garden don’t bother you, but it’s another one of those tasks which, when taken care of, allows the people passing by to see that you’re the kind of person who has taken care of their home. The more often you keep on top of the weeding, the fewer lengthy sessions you’ll have to spend doing it. Contact our Lawn and Garden Department for tools and products.

While you’re at this task, it’s worth sweeping your pathway, clearing any weeds you’ve pulled up as well as any litter or foliage which has fallen there. This makes a clear path for visitors and does wonders for the overall impression your front garden gives off.

3 – Update Welcome Mat: It’s understandable that over time the welcome mat at your door will become a little disheveled and rough around the edges, so throw the old one out and sharpen up your doorstep with a new welcome mat. A trim, bright looking mat will help tie all your other work together, giving visitors and friends a clean impression of your home before stepping in – it also signals that your carpets inside are less likely to be tracked with mud.

4 - Pressure Wash Driveway: If your drive or pathway is made up of concrete, bricks or tiles, they’ll no doubt have gotten a little murkier over the years due to pollution and general weathering. Whether they’ve gone green, grey or black, get the pressure washer out – or rent one from Rayneau Rentals & Sales – and give them a good blast. You’ll soon notice the difference and so will  your neigbours and friends.
