Your home doesn’t have to be remodeled on the outside. The exterior of your home can be just as in dire need but often is overlooked.
Even though outside projects might seem costly and daunting, online tools are available to help customers visualize the home they want.
CertainTeed Corporation offers ColorView online, an interactive exterior style and colour selector. This allows homeowners to explore their options. Through its website, www.certainteed.com/colorviewHomeowners can see how high-end vinyl, vinyl, and fiber cement siding, trims, fence, railing, and deck products would look on different home styles.
Start a session by entering your zip code to view color and brand availability. Next, select the home style most closely matched to your current home. With hundreds of styles and colors available, the exterior can be customized.
The following tips can be used to make your home look better and give it a facelift.
You can change the exterior color of your home. A fresh coat can make a huge difference in the exterior of a house. You may also consider re-siding it with vinyl siding or fiber cement siding. These are available in many colors from CertainTeed.
Unclog the gutters. Nothing is more boring than spending a weekend clearing gutters. This will not only keep your home looking good, but it will also help prevent any future problems.
Clean up your yard. It can look ugly if there are weeds growing in the yard, grass that is too long, or mulch that is strewn around. Spend the weekend tending to your property, pulling weeds and planting flowers. For an extra touch to your outdoor spaces, consider vinyl fencing, decks or railings such as CertaStucco’s Chesterfield vinyl fence or CertainTeed’s EverNew railing.
Make it shine. When thinking of what to do outside your home, adding more lighting or upgrading existing fixtures are simple and inexpensive options. Solar-powered or electric walkway lighting is an option. You could also consider hanging paper lanterns or small lights to highlight trees in your yard from your front porch.
