When the weather warms up, it’s the perfect time to spruce up your home’s exterior. Whether you’re planning to sell your home or just want to impress guests and neighbors, adding curb appeal doesn’t have to break the bank. As Denver’s most trusted window, siding, and door experts, the team at New Windows for America knows firsthand how a few smart updates can make a big difference.
Here are 10 budget-friendly curb appeal ideas to try this summer, plus 3 impactful upgrades that not only improve appearance but increase your home’s value.
10 Inexpensive Ways to Add Curb Appeal This Summer
1. Refresh Your Front Door with Paint
A bold new color can make your front door pop. Choose shades that complement your home’s siding or trim. A fresh coat of paint can instantly modernize your exterior.
2. Add Potted Plants and Flowers
Seasonal flowers in containers or window boxes bring life and color to your entryway and porch. Group them in odd numbers for a designer look.
3. Upgrade Outdoor Lighting
Swap outdated light fixtures with sleek, energy-efficient options. Solar-powered path lights are also an affordable way to illuminate walkways and highlight landscaping.
4. Power Wash Surfaces
Driveways, siding, porches, and walkways collect dirt and grime over time. Power washing can make these surfaces look brand new for little cost.
5. Replace Your House Numbers
Modern, bold house numbers are a simple, easy upgrade that gives your entryway a clean, updated feel. Choose metal or backlit numbers for a high-end touch.
6. Clean and Mulch Garden Beds
A few bags of mulch and some weeding can transform overgrown flower beds. It’s an inexpensive weekend project with instant visual payoff.
7. Paint or Stain the Porch or Deck
If your wood porch or deck is looking faded, a fresh coat of paint or stain makes it more inviting—and protects the wood from the elements.
8. Install Window Shutters or Trim
Decorative shutters or updated window trim add architectural interest to flat facades. Choose a contrasting color to make them stand out.
9. Add a Seasonal Wreath or Welcome Mat
A stylish wreath and clean welcome mat offer a warm first impression. They’re simple to switch out each season to keep things fresh.
10. Tidy Up the Yard
Mow the lawn, trim shrubs, and edge the driveway and walkways. A tidy yard sets the tone for the entire exterior.
How New Windows, Siding & Entry Doors Add Curb Appeal and Home Value
While the above DIY projects give your exterior a quick boost, investing in key home upgrades can significantly enhance your curb appeal and long-term property value. Here’s how:
