Old doors and windows begin to wear out over time. You may feel the air from outside creeping through which means, the inside air could be getting out the same way. Replace old doors or windows with energy efficient ones, to control your comfort and energy bill. If you decide to redo your old roof or siding, be sure to take the old off instead of placing the new right on top. By doing this, you will become aware of any damage underneath and be able to fix it. A roof can account for 40 percent of home’s look from the curb. Some additional, easy touches you could add to the outside of your home is porch/pathway lights. Not only does this add a safety factor but also con- tributes to the overall ambiance. Adding tables, chairs or porch plants boosts the style and excludes a homey feel. By making a few of these changes, big or small, you can increase your curb appeal greatly.
