You can add significant value to your home when you renovate, but you have to focus on certain things. With so many options to choose from, how do you know where to begin? As an exterior designer and street appeal expert at Hotspace Consultants, here are my top tips to add value with your exterior renovation:
Start with the basics: Before you begin any major renovations, take a close look at the current state of your home’s exterior. Is the paint peeling? Are there any missing tiles or loose gutters? These are all small issues that can have a big impact on the overall appearance of your home. Get these fixed first!
Focus on street appeal: The first thing anyone sees of your home is the exterior. Simple updates, like a fresh coat of paint, new hardware on the front door, or a new mailbox can make a big difference. Landscaping or hardscaping elements, like a new path or patio, will also help to enhance the overall appearance and value of your home. But don’t just settle for a run-of-the-mill look you’ve copied off the internet; Interesting updates to your home can have a powerful impact on the overall end result.
Add square meterage: Another way to add value to your home is by ‘adding a room’. This might be a new outdoor living space (even just a new front patio or back deck without a roof can add value if done well), turning your basement into a bedroom or office, or adding an ensuite. These extra spaces can make your home more enjoyable, practical and valuable!
Ask an expert: You’ll spend less money on your exterior renovation when you get assistance from a professional like Hotspace Consultants. Plus, you’ll have a water-tight plan which means you’ll have less hiccups and budget blow-outs. Invest in good advice before you start and you’ll not only end up with more stunning street appeal, but it’ll be a smoother, less expensive process in the end.
