Outdoor Projects to Improve the Value of Your Home

JD and I have been talking about our Summer Projects and wanted to share some ideas with you about how to improve your home. We have some something for everyone at any level. Do it Yourself or let us know if you need a referral for some help. The sooner the better so you have all Summer to enjoy!


Easy: Spruce up your garden or create one! Plant some Perennials (they come back every year!) and lay some new mulch. Flower pots always look great too and can be placed just about anywhere. Make some flower boxes for your windows, this will really make your house stand out!

Medium: Do some exterior clean up! Set the standard for your street and show you care about curb appeal! Power wash and paint where you can; exterior doors, trim, shutters, gutters, sidewalk, and more.  If you are trying to sell your home, peeling paint can be one of the major hold ups for buyers with FHA financing.

Hard: Create an outdoor living space! Install a deck or patio area where you can enjoy the weather with friends and family. Build a fire pit/place or buy a non-permanent one. Install exterior lighting along walkways or add accent lighting to spotlight a feature of the home or yard!
