National Curb Appeal Month: Budget-Friendly Updates

We talk a lot about perfecting the plumbing inside of your home. With August being Nation Curb Appeal Month, we thought now is a good time to take our tips outside.

Looking for budget friendly ways to celebrate? We have a few ideas we think you'll be excited about:

1. Dazzle up the door - A new coat of color on your front door can make your home feel brand new. To find out what color is right for you, take this Quiz.

2. Devote a day to gardening - A well maintained garden and flower bed makes a home look loved and cared for. Annual flowers are your best bet in a color that adds accent to your home.

3. Wash it right up - The sidewalk, your driveways, front windows; spray it all! A garden hose on its strongest setting will do the trick, and the only cost is the one that will show up on your water bill.

4.  Update light fixtures - Replace light fixtures with brighter ones or just give them a quick paint fix. In the evening, front lights draw the eye to certain parts of your home and can make or break your home's curb appeal.

5. Trim and tidy - Keep garbage bins stored away and bushes from overgrowing. Remove branches that block driveways and windows, and reseal cracks in your blacktop.
