You've probably heard the saying, "You can't judge a book by its cover." This is true, but the appearance of your home is one of the first things that people notice when they pull up to your house. A poor exterior design will make your home look uninviting and outdated. So, if you want to improve the look of your house, follow these five simple steps to create a home exterior that will wow everyone who sees it.

Change Windows

​
Windows are one of the easiest ways to update your home exterior. In addition to changing the color or design of your windows, you can also add stained glass or shutters. You can find window treatments at any retailer,

​so it's easy to find something that fits your style and budget.


Take care to fix any broken panels or completely change your windows by upgrading them to newer, more energy-efficient styles that look good and lower your energy bills too.

Add Siding


One of the best ways to update the exterior of your house is with siding. Siding gives your home a fresh and modern look and protection from the elements. Also, siding increases the value of your home. and offers you more options for customization than other exterior design features. For example, some types of siding have windows that can be filled in with different colored panels or screens, giving you a customized look that stands out in any neighborhood. Ask Approved Contractor for advice on the correct type of siding for your home.

Remove Clutter

Clutter
is a quick way to make your home look messy and unkempt. It becomes challenging to keep up with all of it when you have too much stuff. If you have clutter in your yard, on your porch, or around the house, take it elsewhere. The less clutter you have outside of your home, the more attractive it will be.

Plant Flowers and Bushes

​One thing you should do is plant flowers and bushes. This will make your home look more inviting, and you can choose the right plants based on what time of year it is. For example, you may want to plant evergreens if it's wintertime. If it's springtime, you may want to plant flowers that bloom in the springtime. These plants will make your house look more welcoming to visitors.

In addition to planting flowers and bushes, you should also cut the grass on your lawn weekly or bi-weekly, depending on how fast your grass grows. This area must look clean because people will often judge a house by its lawn.

Fix Any Damage

Damage
in front of your home or on your property can detract from curb appeal and undermine any changes you want to make. Take a good look at your property, identify any issues or corners, and then rectify them. This can be from small jobs such as replacing a broken gate to fixing fencing, replacing damaged pathways to new gutters and doors to improve security and functionality and curb appeal.
