We also have a slightly older home (1990) and are in the process of adding new exterior front and patio doors. Nothing too modern but replacing the dated glass ones do add a reasonable inexpensive improvement

Pictures? Floor plan? Measurements? Who to hire - ask trusted neighbors, friends, family, accountant for referrals. What is the style of the home? If you don't know, please put in top search box different styles, one at a time. Examples include colonial, federal, mid century modern, craftsman, ranch, historian, etc. https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=ALeKk00t46VaES9MzOvqrJb96iwrty31bA%3A1612187861054&source=hp&ei=1QgYYJp72Le1Bo3AurgN&q=what+are+different+styles+of+homes&oq=what+are+different+styles+of+ho&gs_lcp=CgZwc3ktYWIQARgAMgIIADICCAAyAggAMgYIABAWEB4yBggAEBYQHjIGCAAQFhAeMgYIABAWEB4yBggAEBYQHjIGCAAQFhAeMgYIABAWEB46BAgjECc6BAgAEEM6CggAELEDEIMBEEM6BQgAEJECOggIABCxAxCDAToHCAAQFBCHAjoLCC4QsQMQxwEQowI6CggAEMkDEBQQhwI6BQgAEJIDOgUIABDJAzoFCAAQsQNQ_wZYg0ZgmFloAXAAeACAAWaIAZ4UkgEEMzEuMZgBAKABAaoBB2d3cy13aXo&sclient=psy-ab

You should post a picture. On Houzz, I've seen everything from lovely houses that the owner has found some imaginary flaw with to really awkward, unattractive architecture. What help you need depends on what your issue is. You probably want to find someone local. If you want structural changes, the contractor can go inside and eyeball your structure for adequate support. If you want paint, understanding the climate and what's already on the house matters. Ditto landscaping.

Sorry everyone, I have attached the pictures 3 different times but it won't work for some reason, I will keep trying.

Post one picture at a time, one per new comment. Wait till the picture fully loads itself (not gray toned) before submitting.

and don’t forget to give us an approximate location because that has a tremendous effect on what will grow in your yard. For example, I live in north central Missouri.

South Alabama. Am willing to change the door or shutters and things of that nature as well.

The last picture you posted was great! Shutters don't belong on those windows :( I think you should look into having a portico put over your front door to break up the roofline. You also should consider removing the hedge on the left that blocks the window and trim back the one partially blocking the front door. Fresh landscaping would help a lot.

I would hire a landscape designer to draw up a plan ... that would be the biggest improvement from what I can see. It can always be done in stages .... depending upon your budget. Also, I would think about removing those fan-like add ons on the garage doors. I was able to just pop mine out , not sure about yours.

Agree with Sigrid. The lines of y house are great, don’t muck it up.

You can start with removing the shutters and removing the window grids, if possible.

I'd remove the shrubs on the right side. If you want to keep the shrubs on the left side they must be pruned to below the windows.

Does the house face north?
