Today’s homebuyers are now becoming more discerning and choosy as they look for certain features and amenities. So if you are planning to improve your house or build a new one and then sell it in the near future, here are some renovation ideas to boost its curb appeal and value:

Update Your Windows and Doors

Your front door impacts greatly your home’s appeal from the kerb by at least 40% as this is one of the first thing that house hunters see in their search. So make sure to make your front entryway stand out. You can repaint it with a brighter colour or replace your door with something stylish and secure, such as our aluminium-framed entry doors.

Aside from being decorative, they are elegant, low-maintenance, and secure, which will definitely boost your curb appeal. Moreover, consider also installing more energy-efficient windows such as casement windows as they are not only draught-free, but also stylish.

Home Office

If you are not using your garage, consider converting it into your home office since more and more people are now working from home. Make sure your space is enough for all your things and you have plenty of cabinets and other storage units at your disposal to store all your archival paperwork and supplies.

Ensure to have ergonomic home office design and workstation, too. It is recommended that your desk be at least 26-inch high and your computer keyboard be placed 23-28 inches from your body. Make sure also to update your electrical outlets with grounded outlets so the three-pronged type of plugs, which what the latest office electronics tend to have, can be accommodated. Also have data ports and phone lines.

Extensions

Patios, porches, garages, conservatories, and other home additions are often considered as great value and kerb appeal boosters. Not only that, these can also add more usable square footage to your property, which can greatly entice buyers who have big families or who are planning to expand their family. Just make sure that your extensions are properly designed and constructed so they will not appear unsightly.

Update Your Roofing System

A faulty gutter and leaky roof will not only lead to some serious water problems, but will also make your home look shabby and uncared, which is a great turn off to house hunters. So, make sure to repair any leaks or better yet install a new roof. Your roof is also another feature of your house that is first seen from the kerb so it may largely impact the first impression your property gives. Moreover, clean and clear out your gutter and install gutter guards as these can help in preventing further water damage. Doing all of these will not only spruce up your roofing system, but will also add to your home’s energy efficiency, which in turn can boost its kerb appeal and value.

Make these worthwhile home improvement ideas and definitely you can attract more serious homebuyers to view and consider your property.
