Whether or not your home is for sale, it's smart to pay special attention to your outdoor space. Yards and porches can be enhanced to improve your property’s curb appeal and give your home a refreshed, well-maintained look. If you're working on some home improvement projects, Huber Lumber in Cincinnati can provide the building supplies you need to revamp your patio, porch, deck, windows, and doors.

Better still, increasing your home’s curb appeal is easier than you think. Here, Huber Lumber offers six easy ways to enhance your property:

  • Furniture: Porches instantly look different when they're furnished with chairs. Many are spacious enough to accommodate a table or a pair of elegant rocking chairs. You'll instantly give your house a warm, homey look.

  • Landscaping: It goes without saying that the grass should be mowed. But there are other ways to improve your yard, such as by planting a colorful flower garden or a few trees to accent the sides of your home. If yard space is an issue, line your front porch with a few flower pots.

  • lumberLighting: Accent lights can dramatize a home and give it an elegant appearance. Line a pathway to the front door with low-voltage accent lights or spotlights. You can even add spotlights to plants or flower beds to illuminate those areas.

  • Roofing: It's not the first thing most people consider when talking curb appeal, but the roof is one of the many elements taken into consideration when prospective buyers view a home. Its overall condition makes a big difference in the final decision. Make sure it's not missing shingles or clearly in need of a thorough cleaning.

  • Numbering: Are your home's numbers visible, or have they been marred by the effects of time and weather? If the numbers are faded or worn, consider replacing them with updated digits that reflect the overall style of your home.

  • Washing: Sometimes, all it takes to make your home shine is a good cleaning. Rent a pressure washer and tidy up your driveway, deck, and siding. The difference between a stained deck or driveway and a clean one is dramatic!

Improve your home's curb appeal with these simple ideas. And if you have a more complex project in mind, talk with the experts at Huber Lumber. They’ll make sure you have everything you need to achieve the results you want. For more information, visit their website or call (513) 731-4035.
