4 Exterior Renovation Projects for Maximum Curb Appeal

Curb appeal is an important consideration when planning an exterior remodel: it can make your home look great, and can even increase its value. In today’s post, local roofing company Adams Roofing Professionals, Inc. shares some exterior design ideas that can help boost your home’s curb appeal.

1. Siding replacement — Siding covers most of the exterior walls, which is why keeping it in good condition is important. Old and worn-out siding can easily give the impression that the entire house is in the same condition. If your siding is due for replacement, take this as an opportunity to give your home a makeover by exploring other siding styles.

2. Make your front door pop — Unlike most other parts of your home’s exterior, the front door stands out when it doesn’t blend in with the rest of the exterior color palette. Bold colors such as red or bright yellow make the front entry door clearly visible from the curb, signaling the eye where to hone in. Whether you’re looking into repainting your front door or replacing it with a factory-applied finish, we recommend trying out color swatches to see which color works best with your home exterior.

3. Roof replacement — Roof replacement is one of the biggest projects you will undertake, but it’s also the one with the most benefits. More than just addressing the problems caused by a leaking roof, a roof replacement project with the right selection of material, color, and style can dramatically boost your home’s curb appeal.

4. Add some greenery — Landscaping can complement your home’s exterior and boost its curb appeal. There are many ways to go about adding some greenery or improving the one you already have, from putting in the time cultivating your choice of plants to adding planters and window boxes. Plants can be used to accentuate key exterior components like windows and entryways. If properly cared for, the plants in your yard can also help prevent soil erosion and other types of damage caused by flooding.

I wanted to let you know about an experience I had with one of your employees. I live at 1200 Knottingham Court in Kingsport Estates and apparently, your company is servicing our condo association. My building has had a leak in the entryway for several months and Eddie was dispatched out to have me show him the source of the leak inside. I met him on Friday, September 21st and just wanted to tell you how impressed I was with his friendliness and professionalism. He immediately found the source of the leak and even went up on the roof to show me. He assured me that someone would take care of it as soon as possible and told me he would give the report priority to avoid any further damage. As someone who used to be in Customer Service, I always value a company that hires people that are not only skilled at their trade, but also skilled at interacting with people. Eddie is a great example of that and I wanted you to know so you could tell him what a great job he does! I am so glad that Alma Management chose Adams Roofing to be our roofing contractor!...

Charlie, Thanks very much for replacing the gutter! No one has been out to do it, at least before I left for work this morning. But I will definitely let you know whether it’s done correctly. I am very satisfied with your roofing job. It looks great, and more importantly, there were no leaks when it rained (even though we haven’t gotten really hard rains yet). So, I have been very pleased with my experience with Adams, especially with the professionalism and responsiveness of you and Dan. Thanks.... [more]

I wanted to take a moment to comment on your technician, Eddie. Eddie was assigned to inspect a roof leak I am having in my home in Cobblestone Circle. He was prompt, professional, courteous and informative; everything a customer could ask for when inviting a contractor into their home. Eddie represents Adams Roofing Well; and clearly he is an asset to your company. Kudos to him! Thank you.... [more]
