The “Magic” of Curb Appeal

As the weather gets warmer, we start to drift outside! Mowing the lawn, planting flowers, and trimming the trees give your home a little “lift” after the cold winter months.

However, if you’re planning on giving your home a ‘facelift’, or you’re putting your home on the market, this might not be enough to boost the exterior look of your home. 

We wanted to tell you our top three ways to elevate your ‘Curb appeal’ with an exterior home renovation.

No matter if you’re planning on selling your space, or you want to enjoy your home for years to come – there are a few key ways you can add a TON of value to your exterior!

IMPROVE THE SIDING

Do you have faded siding? A bad green colour that was chosen in the ’90s? It may be time to update the outdoor siding with better colour and modern material. From Vinyl Siding, Engineered Wood to Hardie Board – there are so many options and colours to satisfy your taste! Ask us what would look best for your home AND last the test of time in the Calgary climate. 

DECK, DECK, DECK

Don’t underestimate the BEAUTY and FUNCTIONALITY of an awesome deck. There is nothing better than having an outdoor space that can serve you well during those well-deserved summer days. Whether you are looking to build a new deck, refinish an old one or even add some updated railing to your exterior space – there are so many ways to refresh your deck. Plus, it almost feels like you’re adding some usable square footage to your home and may even make it feel ‘bigger’ than it is.

* PRO TIP – You can even add some stones as a “pathway” or as a pad for an outdoor conversation area as shown!

UPDATE YOUR GARAGE

If you live in an older home, you may have a one car garage or not even have one at all. Having a nice – two car garage will be a HUGE selling feature for your home in a desirable neighbourhood. PLUS – if you are planning on staying, this might have been something you have been thinking about for a while. We can help you with planning the logistics around creating a space you can use for your vehicles that will make your life more enjoyable or help you sell your home QUICK! 

No matter what you are planning for your home’s exterior – we can help. From the planning to execution, we will work with you to help you meet your goals and your budget for your home.
