Curb Appeal Ideas That Make Your Home Stand Out

Whether you are putting your home on the market or just want to liven it up, here are a few curb appeal ideas to enhance your home’s exterior and make it stand out from the pack. Some of these you can do yourself, and others we can handle for you.

6 Curb Appeal Ideas to Refresh Your Home:

Paint the Front Door

Simply painting the front door of your home can drastically change the exterior look and feel. This is a fantastic guide on how to choose the right color. A brightly colored door will draw attention to your house and make it feel inviting. Our current favorites are apple green, cherry red, and canary yellow. There is also an app that helps you discover which color would look best on your door. Awesome, right? If you need help with the painting, call us and book an appointment. Our expert painters have years of experience and will make your door look brand new.

Update Your Hardware

If your door’s knocker, bell, and knobs are out of date or dingy, a little renewal may be in order. Clean and paint your knobs and hardware, or just replace them with something your style.

Redo Your House Numbers

Replacing your house numbers with a new font can really up your curb appeal game. We love these sans-serif numbers you can find here. You can also find great decals or stencils at most hardware stores.

Add Proper Porch Lighting

Good porch lighting is necessary not only for looks but safety and security as well. Path lights leading to your front door add a welcoming warmth to your home while providing a safe walkway. For a complete guide to porch light safety, click here.

Add plants

Greenery will breathe new life into any space. Mix and match landscaping with pots and hanging plants. See how to mix and match at House and Home, and make these hanging plants from A Beautiful Mess.

6. Paint the Exterior

Have professional painters renew your siding and trim for a brand new look. A new coat of paint can also double as a protective finish. Contact us for your free exterior painting estimate. Our expert painters can update your porch, siding, trim, deck, garage, and more!

SNL painted our great room, dining room, kitchen, bonus room, laundry room and two hallways in mid-December. From Nick giving us the estimate to Sharon scheduling the work to Dave, Justin, and Dustin completing the job the company was responsive and efficient. They even repaired a couple of small items that we hadn't discussed. The job is beautiful and we will be sure to use and recommend SNL in the future.

SNL Painting was great to work with. They communicated well throughout the entire process. The wash/prep process was thorough and they made sure to include us in every step along the way. The crew arrived on time every day and finished on schedule. Would recommend SNL to anyone looking for an exterior paint job -- our house turned out great!

Scott, Sharon, Damon, Tony and Brandon, thanks for bringing this old house back to life! Its 96 years old and had new stucco applied in March. It is super rough (nice look) and soaks up the paint. Plus, there are a lot of trim pieces that had to be "cut in" in a different color. It is now completed and gets a lot of comments. Nicely done!The best part of the job is that the crew was extremely neat. Facia and windows were masked and there is hardly a drip that I cold find on the lower brick or driveway. They were easy to work with and even accommodated my requests to add extra paint or caulk where needed.The crew came well equipped with ladders and tools, was able to procure all the paint needed without delays and were professional.What could be better? I did find some overspray on a couple of storm windows. Somehow it got under the masking. It was easy to clean off from inside of the house, so no harm, no foul.I am very satisfied with the quality of the work. SNL is highly recommended!

These guys are GREAT! VERY busy but NO up-front cost! The work estimate is accomplished when scheduled; contracts are well-written, comprehensive and right the first time! Office and administrative people are quite courteous and responsive, as are their working staff. Workmanship is of excellent quality, thorough, and professional with great care taken to not harm landscaping.I'd DEFINITELY hire SNL Painting again!

We just finished having our home painted by SNL and we could not be happier. Their entire staff, from the sales staff to the carpentry and paint staff were very professional. Thomas, our lead painter, always showed up on time, explained what him and his team were going to do that day and super professional throughout the entire process. He was outstanding. With an investment like painting your entire home, we were nervous, but SNL made it stress-free and I would recommend them to anyone.

SNL Painting did an amazing job of matching the new specialty finish to the existing exterior paint finish of our house. Jake at SNL took extra time and care to make sure the match was accurate and blended with the existing paint. This was a small project for them yet Jake made sure we were happy with the results. They totally exceeded my expectations and I totally recommend this company!

Nick and Tony did such a great job with our exterior pint job. They were polite and helpful in communicating each step of the job. We couldn’t be happier to have the best looking house in the street. We will suggest SNL to everyone we can.

We could not be happier with our interior painting. The whole experience with SNL starting with Scott, Trish, Sharon, Steve Z, Nate and Aloushia all were very professional, polite and skilled. We will ask for the same painters again when we decide to paint the rest of the house. Thank you Sandy K. Also, a great job done by Darin who replaced all of the baseboards, they look great!

SNL/Dave you did an amazing job on our garage floor. The walls were also painted SNL This company has done several jobs for my family and we are satisfied with the quality of work they have demonstrated. The punctuality and consideration that was provided before doing the job was beyond phenomenal. Dave came to my house and explained in detail how the results of the project would come out. I can honestly say that the workmanship was of superior quality and I would recommend SNL home improvement project.
