Improving the Façade of a House
Is the front of your home old and outdated? Wish your home’s exterior better reflected your personality? Well, it may be time for a façade remodel! Updating the front of your home can increase curb appeal and market value—it also gives guests a warm welcome and leaves a great first impression!
There are many different things you can do to improve the façade of your house!
Add Custom Details
Do you wish your home had more “you”? Nothing turns a house into a home more than custom home details do! Personalizing your home’s façade can include anything from new porch railings to architectural columns to an arched marquee above the front door.
Get Modern
If your home is outdated and you want a more contemporary look for the façade, here are a few things you can do to modernize it:
*Large (even floor-to-ceiling) windows
*Porch with modern furniture
*New siding
*Sharp angles and lines that complement the contemporary style
Install New Siding & Roofing
New siding and roofing on a home goes a long way. Have a period style home and want siding that is true to that particular era? For example, on Colonial Revival homes, both clapboard and paintable, cementitious wood that resembles hardwood but lasts longer lend authenticity. Roofing can also help make a period style home seem more authentic—using Spanish tile for Spanish Colonial and mission style homes, for instance. If you have a rustic home, cedar shakes roofing works well.
Whether you want to conserve your period style home or modernize your old home, an exterior remodel can help!
