(NC)—The front of a house is the first thing people notice. As the gateway to the rest of your home, it's important to take the time to make sure it is in tip-top shape. Consider the following tips from The Home Depot to make sure that the first impression is a lasting one.
• Get rid of the clutter – it can be as easy as putting away unnecessary tools, taking in your mail or getting rid of old lawn signs. Consider purchasing an outdoor shed for added storage – The Home Depot carries multiple styles to suit any home.
• Make it sparkle on the outside too – Don't forget to clean the windows and gutters. Use a pressure washer to get rid of dirty siding or dingy decks.
• GreenScape – a green healthy lawn always makes a great first impression, so make sure to maintain your landscape. Mow the lawn weekly. Trim the trees bi-weekly. Make a habit of regularly removing weeds between your concrete bricks and sidewalk stones.
• Paint it up – a fresh coat of paint can give a home's exterior an instant update. Painting the garage, front door and window sills can make an aged home look brand new again. Try Behr's Premium Plus Ultra Exterior Satin Enamel Paint. It provides a protective shell against damage from sunlight moisture, stains and dirt.
• Decorate your entrance – depending on your budget there are numerous ways to upgrade your front entrance. Installing a new door like the Providence Centre Arch Steel Entry Door found at The Home Depot provides a new look to the exterior of your home – it's slim detailed centre window will make any home stand out. If a new door isn't in your budget, consider replacing fixtures – introduce a new door knob, mail box and coordinating house numbers.
