Summer Home Maintenance
With the arrival of warm weather, all eyes will be on the exterior of your home. Make sure your home’s exterior is in top shape by following these tips:
• Keep exterior improvements in proportion to your home and neighborhood. Avoid improvements that would make your exterior seem over-the-top compared to your neighbor’s home.
• If repainting your home, choose a color that won’t draw attention in the wrong way. Choose a contrasting accent color for your shutters and doors and a lighter color for the windows and trim.
• Choose a mix of plants that will create an attention-grabbing landscape year round.
• If there is a mature tree in your front yard that’s blocking the front of your home, hire a professional to trim it instead of cutting it down.
• Don’t overlook the small improvements. Updating light fixtures and adding potted plants can be inexpensive ways to improve the look of an entry.
