What Do We Mean By Curb Appeal

Carolina Living Real Estate - Ugly Homes

  • Pressure washing the house, porches/patios/decks and the driveway if it is concrete.
  • Fix cracked driveway’s if possible.
  • Replace gutters if possible. However cleaning out the gutters and downspouts make a noticeable improvement.
  • Clean the windows (inside and out).
  • Trim shrubs and bushes.
  • Paint the front door, trim and windows.
  • Inexpensive updates can make a world of difference. Do things like replacing the mailbox, lights, house numbers and door hardware.
  • Add flowers in the spring and summer.
  • Add outdoor lighting.
  • In NC we get those ugly streaks on our roofs from surrounding trees.  There are companies that clean these and makes the roof look like new. 

Note:  If your home looks like the one in the picture….Tear down an re-build!
