7 Tips For Exterior Home Remodeling

7 Tips For Exterior Home Remodeling – They say a change is as good as a holiday, and when it comes to your house, a refresh can be as good as moving into a new home! If your home is looking a little worse for wear, or you simply want to make it stand out more in the neighborhood, remodeling the exterior is an efficient way to do so. There are plenty of ways you can enhance the home’s look, without breaking the bank. Here are 7 of the best tips for exterior home remodeling that you can implement right now.

1. Fresh paint

This is by far one of the easiest ways you can enhance your exterior home remodeling, whether you choose to go DIY or budget it into your home renovations. If your home has cracked or peeling paint, a fresh coat can transform that look. Choose a paint color that suits the neighborhood and the style of your home, or you might opt for one that helps your home stand out. Don’t be afraid to go bold and add a little personality to your property.

2. Siding

You’ll find a full range of siding options, including metal, vinyl, wood, and even fiber cement. Metal siding is durable and can be installed both horizontally or vertically, which makes it ideal if you want your home to look a little different. Vinyl can be created in a range of colors, styles, and textures – which is why it’s one of the most popular styles. Wood siding is ideal for a historic look and includes a stain or paint at the end; while fiber cement is made from recyclable materials and is durable, and easy to maintain. 

3. Create an outdoor living space

One of the best things about living in Australia is the climate, and it’s one you want to be able to enjoy all year round. By adding outdoor living space to your home, you can do this – and also enhance the look and value of your home. A deck, a quality outdoor shed, patio, or even a balcony is a great way to add extra space and even improve your property value, while at the same time giving you and the family somewhere to enjoy each other’s company in the fresh air. Add comfortable seating and you’re set to relax.

4. Update your roof

If your roof isn’t functioning properly, or it’s starting to get a little old and worn, an upgrade will not only make your home look better, it’ll make it safer as well. Your roof plays an essential role in how the home functions, and it can impact the value of your property dramatically. A new roof could increase your property’s value by between 15% and 40%. Hire a professional to come and check the tiles, and if everything is okay, give it a simple re-paint instead. 

5. Enhance your landscape

Don’t underestimate the difference a stunning garden can make to your home! Not only to the aesthetics but also the value. It can enhance the look of the home, the feel, and increase the value by around 7%. And it’s easy to do. Ideas include keeping your lawn edges nice and tidy, add lots of plants, mulch and weed the gardens, install a new lawn or use lawn seeds, prune your trees, and include plenty of colors. 

6. Build a fence

When installing a new fence, you want to consider three things – function, aesthetics, and your budget. To start with, what’s the main purpose of the fence? Do you need to ensure pets stay within the property boundaries? Is it to make the home look more secure or simply to enhance the design? The answer to this will determine the type of fence you require, and in turn, this will determine the cost. Fences are great for safety, privacy, and of course, adding to your home’s value. 

7. Brighten the exterior with lighting

Accentuate the best features of your home and yard with outdoor lighting. You can add solar lights to your pathways, step lights on the verandah, highlight any trees with hanging lights, and use up-lights to create a dramatic effect. Stick to warm light, rainbow colors if you like, and avoid anything too bright. 

Lastly, vary the fixtures and place them strategically around the garden. Lighting will not only help it look amazing, but it’ll also enhance your security. While there are plenty of other options you might consider in your remodeling, those mentioned above are simple to arrange and won’t break the bank.
