The exterior of a home plays a vital role in creating a great first impression, revealing hints of your style and personality to every passerby. How your home looks on the outside can also impact the value of the property, so it’s worth trying to keep it looking good.
So how do you know the exterior your home is due for an overhaul? Here are a few telltale signs that it’s time to tackle this update:
Time to sell
Curb appeal matters most when a home goes on the market. A positive first impression that makes a buyer feel at home can influence how much they are willing to spend. While small steps like a manicured lawn always help, updating your siding can have a return on your investment.
Building an addition
Whether you are building up or bumping out, a new addition is the perfect opportunity to update the style of your home. You can give your front a new lease on life, such as switching from a traditional to more contemporary look.
Mould or mildew
Holes or gaps in the house’s cladding could be allowing moisture inside and providing a perfect environment for mildew to grow. Once in the walls, mould can spread easily, causing further damage to the property as well as possible risks to your health. Do a thorough check of the extent of the problem before deciding on a patch job; a replacement may be required.
Frequent repairs
If your exterior wall is damaged or faded, it might be time to spruce up your home with a new façade. DIY-friendly stone veneer like Fusion Stone is a great choice, since it’s long lasting and maintenance free. Plus, it’s more cost effective than natural stone, while matching that material’s on-trend look and feel.
