5 Easy Exterior Updates to Boost Curb Appeal

PaintingCompanyAlbuquerque • May 23, 2020

Whether you’re wanting to sell your Albuquerque or Rio Rancho home or simply upgrade its exterior, there are certain steps you can take to enhance its look while also adding quality and value. Ready to get started? Follow these five updates to boost curb appeal for your home!

1. Landscaping

Pulling weeds, adding grass or shrubs, xeriscaping, and picking up debris are all simple ways to keep your front yard looking fresh and new. Regularly performing these duties will help keep your workload, and the associated costs, to a minimum. From a home buyer’s first impression to the best yard in the neighborhood, landscaping is a great way to add appeal!

2. Power Wash

Use a power washer to rinse grime, dirt, and debris from your porch, driveway, sidewalk, and windows. If you don’t own a power washer, you can call Mike’s Quality Painting in Albuquerque and Rio Rancho to schedule a single power washing session! You’ll be amazed how a simple wash can remove years of built up grime and reveal a newer, cleaner home!

3. Fresh Paint

If your home’s exterior is lacking that “wow” factor, we can help with a fresh coat of paint! Whether you’re wanting to repaint the entire exterior or add a pop of color by painting the front door or garage, contact the professionals at Mike’s Quality Painting for an estimate. From Rio Rancho and Albuquerque to Santa Fe, we’re here to help New Mexicans elevate the look of their home!

4. Decor

A little decor can go a long way! Look for items to add to your porch like pots of flowers, chairs, benches, or decorations to hang on your door for an extra dose of beauty. If your goal is to sell your home, it’s proven that “staged” or pre-decorated homes are more likely to sell faster! So adding a few decor items is most definitely an effective way to boost appeal while staying on budget.

5. Hardware

Replacing your front door, adding new eye-catching house numbers, or upgraded light fixtures will help add some contrast to your home, giving it a newer look and, of course, boosting its curb appeal! Want to take it a step further? Add a new stain or shade of paint to your current garage door or window trim for added dimension and personality.

Contact your trusted Rio Rancho and Albuquerque painters to help you easily boost your home’s curb appeal! From stucco repair and garage door painting to concrete flooring and full-service home painting, we’ll help bring your vision to life—just give us a call at (505) 508-5342!
