Any house that is in need of a facelift will have some old, unused items. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Take the time to clear out these loose objects and make sure you put them into storage or throw them away so they don&#8217;t affect your curb appeal. <\/strong>The prospective buyer&#8217;s eyes will be drowned to the biggest eye soars, you don&#8217;t want to leave anything that doesn&#8217;t compliment the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A power washer will remove any dirt, moss, and algae from most surfaces of your home. You must first start at the very top and work your way down. Take a look at your roof for any dirt leaves and branches. Make sure all the gutters are also clean and in good working order. Next Start power washing from the gutters down and work your way down. <strong>Don&#8217;t forget to get those windows squeaky clean.<\/strong> Gleaming windows make the house look fresh and inviting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have finished power washing, take a look at the front of your house to see if there are any other fixable items that need attention. A few things you will want to check for the power wash are peeling paint or rust on metal objects like siding, roofing materials, and mailbox posts. Replace them if they are not in good working order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Everyone thinks that the biggest return is a red door or a few flowers and plants, but the truth is a deep cleaning and housekeeping makeover can go a long way. <\/strong>Who doest love a neat and tidy front yard?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"text-align:center\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-button gb-block-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theralphieandryanshow.com\/staging-your-home\/\" class=\"gb-button gb-button-shape-rounded gb-button-size-medium\" style=\"color:#ffffff;background-color:#3373dc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tips to stage Your Home<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Add_Color\"><\/span><strong>Add Color<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theralphieandryanshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/shutterstock_1326082916-1024x683.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5790 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/box5915.temp.domains\/~theralph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/shutterstock_1326082916.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/box5915.temp.domains\/~theralph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/shutterstock_1326082916.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/box5915.temp.domains\/~theralph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/shutterstock_1326082916.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/box5915.temp.domains\/~theralph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/shutterstock_1326082916.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/box5915.temp.domains\/~theralph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/shutterstock_1326082916.jpg?resize=600%2C400&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/box5915.temp.domains\/~theralph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/shutterstock_1326082916.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theralphieandryanshow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/shutterstock_1326082916-1024x683.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5790\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/box5915.temp.domains\/~theralph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/shutterstock_1326082916.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/box5915.temp.domains\/~theralph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/shutterstock_1326082916.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/box5915.temp.domains\/~theralph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/shutterstock_1326082916.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/box5915.temp.domains\/~theralph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/shutterstock_1326082916.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/box5915.temp.domains\/~theralph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/shutterstock_1326082916.jpg?resize=600%2C400&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/box5915.temp.domains\/~theralph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/shutterstock_1326082916.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Color and contract can make a home look completely unrecognizable. <\/strong>If you have it in your budget a fresh coat of paint to the exterior of your home can make the biggest difference in your makeover.&nbsp; If you can&#8217;t afford to take on the expense of a house painting project, then consider adding some color through other avenues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could change out your front door for one in a bright and cheerful color that will stand out against any home background. <strong>You may also want to add some window shutter or other decorative elements in a color that will really pop.<\/strong> Don&#8217;t forget about the fences, handrails, and cement slabs.

If you have some more money on hand, then consider adding new landscaping elements to the front yard of your house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The very first thing that homeowners should do when planning their home&#8217;s landscaping renovations is to draw up a plan. <\/strong>This is an important step that should not be skipped over or overlooked. Have a clear picture of what must go and what could stay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is easy to get caught up in the moment and make changes as you go. However, it is important to have a plan for your house&#8217;s front yard makeover before starting the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, consider what types of plants and flowers would fit well in the type of climate zone that you live in. You will also want to take into consideration how much water different plants need so they can thrive. Maintenance is something that must always be considered because high maintenance might not be what you or your potential buyer might be looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keep it simple, tidy, and green.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"text-align:center\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-button gb-block-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theralphieandryanshow.com\/home-valuation\/\" class=\"gb-button gb-button-shape-rounded gb-button-size-medium\" style=\"color:#ffffff;background-color:#3373dc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Find out what your home is worth here!<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dress_to_Impress\"><\/span><strong>Dress to Impress<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The house is old, worn out, and needs a facelift? <\/strong>Well, you can save money by just doing some simple things. If your house has an old mailbox, doorknob, and street number this is the perfect place to start. They are the simplest and most cost-efficient repairs that can make a house look updated. Simple hardware changes can make a&nbsp; house feel new again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dressing up the exterior of your home can include adding shutters to your windows, adding porch furniture, and other decorative house features.<strong> Keep it simple but inviting.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also dress up the house by adding a few flower pots to your porch or entrance. Again, this is an easy way to freshen up the house&#8217;s appearance without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> If you are looking for more of a drastic change and want something that will show off your creativity then consider painting some old furniture with paint in colors that will complement the exterior of your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Get creative!
