Restoring Your Home’s Curb Appeal After Damage

After significant damage, it can be difficult to see your home how it was before. Wind, weather, and more can strip a home’s exterior of its charm and attractiveness. Weather doesn’t have to get the best of you though!

One of the biggest factors often affected by property damage is a home’s curb appeal. Whether you experienced major or minor damage to your home’s exterior, your curb appeal has likely been affected. 

Don’t worry, it’s not a lost cause! Below you can find some of our favorite curb appeal ideas to rectify the outside of your home post-disaster.

Clean Up

The first place to start when revamping your home’s curb appeal is by cleaning up. This includes cleaning out gutters, shining the shutters, power washing the driveway and walkways, washing the windows, and cleaning anything else that is visually dirty.

It’s noticeable when the outside of your home is dirty, so cleaning everything can make an impact. Even just wiping down outdoor furniture can make your home look better on the outside.

Touch Up Paint

Whether paint was chipped or damaged from weather or has been susceptible to wear over time, it’s good to repaint from time to time. Adding a fresh paint coat to your home’s front door, siding, shutters, or even elements near your entryway can make your home look new and refreshed. 

If the paint on your home is in good shape already, consider adding some personality using patterns or pops of color. A rising trend is using a patterned stencil to paint your front stoop. Adding a touch like this can assist your curb appeal as it’s unique.

Outdoor Furniture

If you don’t already have furniture on your front porch or near your entryway, consider adding outdoor seating. Choosing unique pieces of furniture can spruce up any space.

Be sure to select pieces of furniture that match your outdoor aesthetic. Choosing furniture that’s bright and flashy can be ideal sometimes, but if your outdoor aesthetic includes light blues and greens, a bright orange chair could be eye-catching in a bad way, so keep that in mind.

Landscaping

One of the most important factors of curb appeal is landscaping. Regularly mow the lawn, manicure your bushes, and weed your yard to keep it looking clean.

Consider mulching annually and planting flowers to create a welcoming environment too. No space for plants out front? Add a hanging plant or flower box near your front door for an added pop of color.
