Exterior upgrades are ideal at enhancing the value of your home. They give you a number of recreational benefits as well. If you want to take that next step, then this is the guide for you.
Build a Fire Pit
During the summer, nothing compares to roasting marshmallows and having a story around an open fire. Fire pits are ideal for those who want to create great memories, and you will get 67% of your investment back when selling your property. Investments like this are very desirable as they enhance your outdoor space. If you don’t want to build your own fire pit then you can just buy one, but bear in mind that it won’t add any value to your property as it’s not a fixed structure. If you want to spend more time outdoors, then consider an outdoor kitchen. Outdoor kitchens are practical, and give a huge ROI.
Replace your Garage Door
You may think that the garage door you have now is good enough. Upgrading it however, is one of the best ways to add value to your home. Think you can do this job yourself? think again. If you don’t install it properly, you will put your home at risk. If you have the budget, invest in a new front door to match your garage. Doing this will add a lot of continuity to your property.
Take Care of your Lawn
Do you want your lawn to look great? You need to make sure that it has enough nutrients to thrive. Reduce weeds and add fertilizer. If you don’t have time to do this then that is understandable. One thing you can do is hire a lawn care service. A good service will water your lawn, make sure that it has been weeded nicely and ultimately make sure that it does not fall victim to some of the many problems that grass is prone to.
Fix your Facade
Replacing your exterior siding sounds like an expensive improvement but this is not the case at all. It’s affordable. You just need to do it right. If you hire someone, you can expect to get around 95% of your money back when selling up. Don’t be afraid to add a new lick of paint either. A fresh coat of paint will transform your property for the better, ensuring that it maintains its value without costing too much. As a general rule, you can paint the exterior of a property yourself, if you have the right gear. Just be mindful of climbing up ladders if you don’t have a lot of DIY experience.
Add Decking
Another way for you to take things to that next level would be for you to add some decking. Do you enjoy spending time outdoors? If so then this will give you more of a reason to do so. You can add a lounge chair or you can add a pizza oven. Either way, it is a very good way for you to make the most out of your space.
