// 4 Steps To Breathe New Life Into Your Home's Exterior

Curb appeal is a big thing for homeowners. 99% of people will never set foot in your home - all they ever see is the view from outside. It doesn’t matter how beautiful your interior design is or how lovely your home smells; their perception of it is based on the exterior appeal.

It’s something you should never neglect; here are four steps to immediately breathe new life into the outside of your home, boosting its curb appeal through the roof!

Clean the siding

Bad weather and general age can make the siding around your house look a bit dirty. Dark patches appear everywhere, so get a pressure washer and blast it away. Do this yourself - or hire someone to clean it - and you’ll instantly notice a difference. Years of dirt and grime are blasted off your home, making it look sparkling and new again.

Wash the roof

To be fair, some houses don’t look that bad on the outside. Your siding or brickwork might be relatively clean - but you can almost guarantee your roof won’t be. Roofing is prone to moss and other things growing on it, which will age your house and make it seem far older than it is. Professional roof cleaning services will sort this problem out. They’re highly satisfying as you see the difference in your roof while it’s being cleaned. The new part looks like you’ve installed a brand new roof when compared with the old parts that haven’t been cleaned yet.

Clean the gutters

While you’re focusing on the roof, don’t forget about gutter cleaning. This is another task you could do yourself, though it may be safer to hire pros. Either way, you want to remove debris and loose leaves from your gutters - which already makes your home look a lot nicer from the outside. Not to mention that cleaning the gutters prevents water leaks and mold buildup on your roof. Give them a nice spritz to remove any dirt, and they’ll be positively glistening in the sunlight.

Clean the windows

By now, you have a shiny roof, clean walls, and pristine gutters. All the pieces are slowly falling into place - and only one remains: the windows! Dirty windows will ruin a home’s curb appeal as they stick out like a sore thumb. You truly notice the dirtiness when the light catches and reflects off the windows, which brings the whole aesthetic back down to zero. Window cleaning is one of those things you should do regularly. Once a month is the best approach, and don’t forget to clean inside your windows as well. A window cleaner will make the outside look great, but you can ruin it with fingerprints and smudges on the inner panes.

Et viola, you’ve transformed your home into a gorgeous beacon of brilliance. It looks brand-new, and the curb appeal is off the charts. This is the type of home that will turn heads and leave your neighbors full of envy. The best part of all of this is that most of the maintenance tasks don’t need to be done that frequently. Other than window cleaning (which should be done once a month), the others are done far more periodically. You’ll maybe clean the outside of your house once a year, the gutters once every few months and the roof once every few years! So, there’s no excuse not to have a stunning home exterior.
