Summer and Fall are the best seasons to invest in your home’s curb appeal, especially if you’re thinking about taking advantage of the current seller’s market to get top dollar for your home. So, whether you’re looking to improve before a move or impress your neighbors, here are some new items to add to your to-do list.

Pressure Wash

Cleaning up your home’s exterior is step one of boosting your curb appeal, and that means pulling out the pressure washer. If you don’t already own a pressure washer, you can rent one from most home improvement stores or check with friends and neighbors to see if they have one you can borrow.

Garden and Landscaping

The plants in your yard need more than just the occasional watering to look their best. Take some time to prune back overgrown plants and create new points of interest with some new growth. Garden borders, rocks, and mulch can also help give your front yard a boost. Pull weeds and keep your landscaping manicured. As you enter into fall and leaves begin to fall, try to keep up with the racking, and even remove leaves from your gutters to help with your overall asethetic.

Paint

Even the best paint doesn’t last forever and this may be the year you decide to repaint the front door, window trim, or even the whole house. You can make painting a fun DIY project on a weekend. This is a quick and easy way to improve your curb appeal and can completely freshen up your home. What is nice is the weather is still nice enough that the paint will dry if external and you can open windows to remove fumes if necessarily without bringing the weather inside.
